Pain, Body Composition and Physical Activity in Childhood Cancer.
Sponsor: Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Summary
Comparing baseline assessments of children with cancer and their parents with baseline assessments of healthy children and their parents in a case-control study will allow the investigators to make the comparison in terms of pressure hyperalgesia, pain catastrophizing, energy-balance related behavior, attention control and attention bias between healthy children and cancer patients. This also enables the investigators to compare parents of healthy children with parents of cancer patients in the field of catastrophizing about the pain of their child and responses to child's pain experiences. Correlations can also be calculated between, for example, pain pressure thresholds and energy-balance related behavior.
