Trauma-Informed Procedural Pain Intervention (TIPPI-R) for Pediatric Cancer Pain

This study is testing a program called TIPPI-R, which stands for Trauma-Informed Procedural Pain Intervention. TIPPI-R is designed to teach children and their families strategies to manage pain and distress during cancer treatment. We want to see if TIPPI-R helps children use better ways to cope with pain, lowers how much pain they feel, and increases their confidence in managing pain. Children aged 0-18 who have a cancer diagnosis and are receiving treatment at specific hospitals (Norton Children's Cancer Institute, Norton Children's Hospital, University of Kentucky Children's Hospital, or DanceBlue Clinic) can join. We are looking for 100 participants. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

Study design
This study is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention. It aims to enroll 100 participants.
What's involved
The TIPPI-R intervention involves one session where you will receive education and learn pain management tools. Pain coping strategies will be assessed at the start and again approximately 4-6 weeks later.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for approximately 4-6 weeks after being consented.

What this trial measures

  • Pain Coping StrategiesPain coping strategies will be assessed at baseline (Time 1) and again approximately 4-6 weeks after being consented (Time 2).

    Families who receive TIPPI-R will report greater use of adaptive pain coping strategies than families in the standard of care condition. This is measured by Survey of Pain Management Practices, Pain Coping Questionnaire-Short Form (Parent and Child), and data abstraction from medical charts. The Survey of Pain Management Practices indicates how often pain management strategies are used over the past 7 days (or since diagnosis). Frequencies are rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (never) to 5 (always). Scores are calculated by summing the number of strategies used, with higher scores indicating greater frequency of use of adaptive coping strategies. The Pain Coping Questionnaire-Short Form (Child and Parent version) is a 16-item measure to assess how children cope with pain. Items are ranked on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (never) to 5 (very often). A mean scale score is calculated for each subscale, with higher scores indicating more of the measured construct.
