Project Summary Pediatric chronic pain is a common but understudied health problem, with prevalence increasing from childhood to adolescence, particularly among girls. Moreover, prevalence rates have increased over the past 20 years for unknown reasons. Despite the high prevalence and enduring impact, we know little about its etiology and developmental progression. The literature documents associations between exposure to early adversity and chronic pain among adults, but little is known about the early developmental time course, key mechanisms, and social resilience that can mitigate risk in youth. Critical questions need to be addressed before efforts at prevention and intervention can have maximum impact. To that end, the proposed competing continuation project focuses on four aims: identify the genetic and environmental influences on growth in pain across childhood and adolescence (Aim1); examine the role of stress exposure in the development of children's chronic pain (Aim 2); and evaluate two potential mechanisms linking stress and pain, problems with emotion regulation (Aim 3), and epigenetics (Aim 4). Under a recalibration model, we also explore social resilience in adolescence as a buffer of these risk processes. To accomplish our aims, we propose to conduct intensive longitudinal follow-up assessments (at 14, 15, and 16 years of age) of a birth-records-based community sample of 350 pairs of twins who are diverse in ethnicity and socioeconomic status. Stress, emotion regulation, and recurring pain during early and middle childhood have already been well characterized. Assessments during adolescence will take a multi-method approach that includes clinical and diary assessments of pain frequency, intensity, duration; objective, diary, and questionnaire assessments of emotion regulation, stress, and social resilience; and objective assessments of epigenetics. Our genetically informed developmental approach to understanding the etiology and mechanisms of pain in youth is critical to determining when benign chronic pain is clinically significant and identifying key targets for intervention efforts to prevent the development of and promote recovery from chronic pain among youth.

项目摘要 小儿慢性疼痛是一个常见但研究不足的健康问题，患病率增加 童年至青春期，尤其是在女孩中。而且，过去的患病率有所提高 由于未知原因，20年。尽管患病率很高和持久影响，但我们对此一无所知 病因和发展进展。文献记录早期暴露之间的关联 成年人的逆境和慢性疼痛，但对早期发育时间课程知之甚少 机制和社会弹性可以减轻青年风险。需要解决关键问题 在预防和干预努力之前，可能会产生最大的影响。为此，拟议的竞争 延续项目侧重于四个目的：确定遗传和环境对疼痛生长的影响 整个童年和青春期（AIM1）；检查压力暴露在发展中的作用 儿童的慢性疼痛（AIM 2）；并评估两种潜在的机制，将压力和疼痛联系在一起 情绪调节（AIM 3）和表观遗传学（AIM 4）。在重新校准模型下，我们还探索社会 青春期的弹性作为这些风险过程的缓冲。为了实现我们的目标，我们建议进行 基于出生记录的密集纵向随访评估（14、15和16岁） 350对双胞胎的社区样本在种族和社会经济地位上有多样化。压力， 情绪调节和童年早期和中年的疼痛已经很好 特征。青春期评估将采用多方法方法，其中包括临床和 疼痛频率，强度，持续时间的日记评估；目标，日记和问卷调查 情绪调节，压力和社会弹性；和表观遗传学的客观评估。我们的遗传学 了解年轻人的病因和疼痛机制的知识发展方法对 确定良性慢性疼痛何时具有临床意义，并确定干预工作的关键目标 防止年轻人中慢性疼痛的发展并促进慢性疼痛的康复。
