The effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy for children with chronic pain (CHACT) on the function of 7 to 12 year-old children
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Children with Chronic Pain (CHACT) on the function of 7 to 12 year-old children. Thus, the basic problem of the current study is whether CHACT can improve the function level of 7 to 12 year-old children with chronic pain?
The Effectiveness of Group-Based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy on Pain-Related Anxiety, Acceptance of Pain and Pain Intensity in Patients with Chronic Pain

management requires medical and psychological interventions. This study aimed to evaluate the
effectiveness of group-based acceptance and commitment therapy on pain-related anxiety, acceptance
of pain and pain intensity in patients with chronic pain.
A feasibility study of brief group-based acceptance and commitment therapy for chronic pain in general practice: recruitment, attendance, and patient views
Background
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy, may help meet a need for accessible and cost-effective treatments for chronic pain. ACT has a growing evidence base, but has not yet been tested within general practice settings.
Aim
The purpose of the present study was to examine the feasibility of conducting a full-scale randomized controlled trial of ACT in general practice.
New generation psychological treatments in chronic pain
Chronic pain conditions are common and have a considerable impact on health and wellbeing. This impact can be reduced by cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), the most commonly applied psychological approach to chronic pain. At the same time, CBT continues to develop, and now includes what is sometimes called “third wave” CBT.

Hintergrund
Junge Erwachsene (JE) befinden sich in einer instabilen Lebensphase mit Beziehungsumbrüchen, wegfallenden Strukturen und großen Lebensherausforderungen. Chronische Schmerzen erschweren die Bewältigung dieses Lebensabschnitts aufgrund der funktionalen, emotionalen und sozialen Einschränkungen. Für diese Altersgruppe existieren kaum zielgruppenspezifische Therapieprogramme.

Considerable heterogeneity among pediatric chronic pain patients may at least partially explain the variability seen in the response to behavioral therapies.
