Empowered Relief for Caregivers

Not Yet RecruitingNA

Sponsor: Stanford University

Conditions: Chronic Pain, Musculoskeletal Pain, Fibromyalgia, Neuropathic Pain, Complex Regional Pain Syndromes (CRPS)

Interventions: Empowered Relief for Caregivers (ER-CY)

Countries: United States

This study is testing a new program called Empowered Relief for Caregivers (ER-CY), designed to support caregivers of children and teens who live with chronic pain. ER-CY is a single two-hour class delivered online. It teaches skills for managing the stress of caring for a child in pain and for responding to a child's pain in helpful ways. Up to 80 caregivers of youth with chronic pain will take part in one ER-CY class and then complete surveys and a short interview over the following three months. The researchers want to learn two things: whether caregivers are willing and able to take part and find the program helpful and satisfying, and whether the program lowers caregiver distress and improves their child's day-to-day functioning. What is learned will help guide future programs and care for youth with chronic pain and their families.
