Description
ABSTRACTOBJECTIVE
The objective of the Panacea study is twofold: 1) co-creating an evidence-based and theory-driven pain science
education (PSE) intervention for children living beyond cancer (CBC); 2) evaluating the feasibility and effectiveness
of the co-created PSE intervention on pain-related outcomes in CBC.
METHODS
The study will be guided by the Intervention Mapping Protocol. A PSE intervention for CBC will be developed
through co-creation with CBC (8-12yo) and their parents, and concept mapping with oncology clinicians.
Subsequently, a multicentric randomized controlled pilot study will be conducted to evaluate the feasibility and
effectiveness of the co-created PSE intervention in CBC on pain-related psychosocial and physical outcomes. CBC
will be randomly assigned to the PSE intervention or a waitlist control group. The primary outcome will be
determined during the co-creation. Outcome measures will be assessed at baseline, immediately postintervention, and 3 and 6 months post-intervention. Between- and within group intervention effects will be
explored with linear mixed modelling.
RESULTS/HYPOTHESES
We hypothesize that PSE will improve short to medium term pain-related outcomes in CBC, with potential longlasting effects. We expect to contribute to more specialized care for CBC. Ethical approval has been obtained and
the co-creation sessions will be finalized by September ‘24.
CONCLUSION/IMPLICATIONS
This study fills a significant research gap in the management of chronic pain in CBC. PSE is a promising approach
to reconceptualize pain and positively impact daily life of CBC.
