Abstract
- Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth with chronic pain may be at unique risk for psychological distress and associated functional impairment, yet research on the intersection of chronic pain and gender identity is lacking. In a retrospective chart review of 491 participants admitted to a pediatric intensive interdisciplinary pain treatment (IIPT) program in the midwestern United States over an approximately 4-year period, 6.11% were TGD. TGD participants who completed the IIPT program reported significant and large improvements in anxiety, depression, pain catastrophizing, and functional ability. At baseline, TGD participants presented as more emotionally distressed and functionally impaired compared to age-matched, cisgender peers. When accounting for baseline scores, TGD participants who completed the IIPT program reported similar scores to cisgender peers at discharge, yet TGD youth were significantly less likely than cisgender peers to complete the IIPT program. Future directions and implications for clinical practice are discussed.<br /> (© 2024. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.)
