But what do girls themselves think might explain this? As you might have guessed, we don’t really know.

So, we asked them: doi.org/10.1186/s129...

Emotional functioning is measured using the PROMIS Pediatric Emotional Distress Scales (anxiety, depression, and anger). Physical functioning is assessed through the PROMIS Pediatric Physical Functioning Scale, and sleep quality can be evaluated using the PROMIS Pediatric Sleep Disturbance Scale.

For pain-related interference with daily living, the PROMIS Pediatric Pain Interference and Functional Disability Inventory (FDI) were chosen. For overall well-being, the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) Generic Core Scales and PROMIS Pediatric Profile 25 v.2.0 were recommended.

The updated core outcome set (COS) identified essential areas for measurement, including pain severity and its effects on daily activities. The main objective is to enhance the effectiveness of clinical trials for interventions targeting pediatric chronic pain.
