Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Growing pains are the most common cause of musculoskeletal pain in children, affecting both children\'s and caregivers\' well-being. The lack of definitive diagnostic criteria complicates diagnosis and treatment.
UNASSIGNED: This study aims to outline the clinical features and identify factors associated with the frequency and intensity of growing pains in children in Chongqing, China.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a children\'s hospital using its Internet hospital follow-up platform. Children initially diagnosed with growing pains between July and September 2022 were enrolled. Sociodemographics, pain locations, duration, frequency, intensity, and potentially related factors were collected.
UNASSIGNED: Eight hundred sixty-three children were enrolled (average age: 8.19 ± 3.24 years; 455 boys [52.72%]). Pain frequency was reported as quarterly (62.11%), monthly (24.80%), biweekly (1.74%), weekly (10.08%), and daily (1.27%). The prevalence of mild, moderate, and severe pain was 26.65%, 55.74%, and 17.61%, respectively. The knee was the most common pain location (63.85%), mostly encountered between 4 pm and 5 pm (20.51%). Multivariate analysis revealed that pain frequency negatively correlated with vitamin supplementation during pregnancy, positively correlated with underweight, bad temper, increased exercise, and cold lower extremities. Pain intensity positively correlated with irritability, increased exercise, and pain sensitivity but negatively correlated with age and vitamin supplementation during lactation.
UNASSIGNED: Growing pains typically occur on a quarterly basis, predominantly affecting the knees during 4 pm to 5 pm. Factors in sociodemographics, maternal aspect, temperament, and exercise levels can influence pain frequency and intensity. Clinicians should consider these aspects when developing comprehensive strategies for pain management.
