ObjectiveTo present information on pain management strategies for children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).MethodsThe second author developed a manual to present pain management strategies to children. The use of the manual was pilot-tested with a group of children with JIA. Telephone interviews were used to gather information on implementation of pain management strategies.ResultsChildren were able to implement the pain management strategies. Children reported a reduction in daily pain experiences related to JIA when using the pain management strategies.ConclusionsThe pain management strategies were successful as an adjunctive intervention for short-term pain management. Pain symptoms related to JIA can severely limit children's participation in daily activities. Further study on how children use pain management strategies to improve their involvement in daily activities will provide useful clinical information.
