Add to My Toolkit
Description

The Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) Pain Chart is a self-administered body map with 21 scored areas that can be completed either in paper or electronic format. Participants color or click on the location(s) that they have felt pain during the preceding 2 weeks. This protocol was validated in individuals up to 18 years of age.

Specific Instructions

Within von Baeyer et al. (2011), it is recommended that the pain chart be used without an adults assistance for children aged 7 years and older. The pain chart may be able to be completed by children younger than 7 years with adult assistance, but the adults influence must be recognized.

Definition

This measure assesses the number and location of sites on the body where pain symptoms are felt.

Purpose

The number and location of pain sites vary significantly by age, frequency of pain, crisis, and utilization. Pain location can predict important behavioral outcomes, number of days where an individual experiences subjective vaso-occlusive crises, and unplanned utilization of hospitals.
