Pain Assessment Without Borders:Keeping chronic pain assessment at the forefront of
care for children with cerebral palsy
Ashleigh Townley, Chantel Barney, Jean Stout, Jean StansburySeptember 16, 2017
Objectives
• Learn about the:
– Chronic Pain Assessment Toolbox for Children with Disabilities
– Implementation of the Toolbox in a Canadian context
– Utility of a Train-the-Trainer model
– Tailoring the Toolbox to an American context
– Clinical impact of systematically assessing chronic pain
– Perspectives from front-line clinicians
• Explore how you can apply the Toolbox to your context
Evidence-informed care is anexpectation of all health care
professionals in leading academichealth sciences centres
around the world;
however ensuring that it happensconsistently is not easily achieved
Knowledge Translation
Getting the right informationto the right peoplein the right formatat the right time
with good impact
• Largest children’s rehabilitation hospital in Canada
• Vision: Create a world of possibility for kids with disability
• Teaching hospital fully affiliated with the University of Toronto
Our vision is to promote the best availableresearch evidence to inform care in
childhood disability.

Audit & feedback
Impact
• 96% of children with pain had an assessment documented
• Clinicians think the Toolbox has led to some important changes:
– Assessing chronic pain more routinely and consistently
– Raised awareness of the need for explicit chronic painassessment
– More likely to use a validated pain assessment tool
– Talking about pain more directly, using more specific language
– More of a focus on pain interference/impact on daily activities
Knowledge push:
• Conferences• Webinars
• Twitter• Facebook
• Promotional materials

EVALUATION
What do you like? What don’t you like?
• Easy to administer• Comprehensive• Provides information on
comfort/spasticity even whenparents say pain is not an issue.
• Some behaviors measured are notspecific to pain
• Quick and easy to use• Provides more information• Less involved children can report
• Some items are not applicable• ‘when I had pain’ can be confusing
• The breadth and depth of thequestions for non-verbal children
• Nothing
• Simple and quick• Provides a dimension of pain coping
that we don’t otherwise collect
• Not always relevant• Psychometric properties unknown• No cut score

EVALUATIONHow is the information used in clinical practice?
• Characterizing pain, distress, and comfort• Used in relation to changing baclofen dose• Nice baseline for comparison over time/after intervention• Interventions can be made using this information
• Used in relation to changing baclofen dose• Compare scores over time• Gives us some information on function• It can expose the ways the child is impacted
• Gain better understanding of how the symptoms impact day-to-day life
• Score is provided in pain section of dictation• Information can prompt conversations about pain

EVALUATIONOverall, what do you think of the toolbox?
“It is far better than previous pain scales”
“I think it is helpful in clinic. I would like more direction on what to dowith high scores to properly address their pain, especially if they cannot
get a palliative care appointment right away.”
“This has been a great addition to our plan of care”
“It’s OK, but really hasn't changed my practice”
“It helps to make the assessment quick and easy and gives goodinformation”
“It is good to have tools for verbal & non verbal kids”

NEXTAdditional clinics invited to participateInclude in electronic formatEducate and empower patients & families
Pain: Lydia complained of no pain or sensory issues during today's evaluation. Her mother reports that sheroutinely complains of pain in both feet with walking short or long distances, standing, stairs or uneven terrain,or at the beginning or end of the day. The Child Self-Efficacy Scale indicates that her mother is very unsure of herability to do things when she is in pain. Pediatric Outcome Data Collection Instrument pain score alsocorroborates some level of pain.
Child Self-Efficacy Scale - Parent (CSES-Parent): 307 = very sure able to do things when in pain21 = in the middle with regard to ability to do things when in pain35 = very unsure able to do things when in pain
NEXT STEPSGoal: Identify children who may be at risk for challenges with painmanagement.
Method: Follow a group of children through orthopaedic procedureand post-op gait analysis with pre-operative pain coping concerns.
