Children, adolescents, and young adults do not typically feature in clinics, studies, and mainstream notions of chronic pain. Yet many young people experience debilitating pain for extended periods of time. Chronic pain in these formative years may be especially important to treat in order for young patients to maintain life tasks and to prevent protracted disability. The Pediatric Pain Program at the University of California, Los Angeles, is a multidisciplinary treatment program designed for young people with chronic pain and their families. We offer both conventional and complementary medicine to treat the whole individual. This article describes the work undertaken in the clinic and our newly developed Yoga for Youth Research Program. The clinical and research programs fill a critical need to provide service to youth with chronic pain and to scientifically study one of the more popular complementary treatments we offer, Iyengar yoga.
儿童、青少年和青年通常不会出现在慢性疼痛的临床诊疗、研究以及主流观念中。然而，许多年轻人会长期遭受使人虚弱的疼痛。在这些成长阶段，慢性疼痛的治疗对于年轻患者维持生活任务以及预防长期残疾可能尤为重要。加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校的儿科疼痛项目是一个针对患有慢性疼痛的年轻人及其家庭的多学科治疗项目。我们提供传统医学和补充医学来治疗整个个体。本文描述了在诊所开展的工作以及我们新开发的青少年瑜伽研究项目。临床和研究项目满足了为患有慢性疼痛的青少年提供服务以及科学研究我们所提供的更受欢迎的补充治疗方法之一——艾扬格瑜伽的迫切需求。
