Pain
-
Children and adolescents with recurrent migraine headaches or musculo-skeletal pain were asked to draw a picture of their pain and another picture of themselves in pain. The drawings were categorized according to content and color. ⋯ Children with recurrent migraine more often drew themselves doing something to relieve their pain, than did children with musculo-skeletal pain. Implications for the use of pain drawings in the treatment of chronic and recurrent pain are discussed.
