Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of the ambulatory monitoring protocol, called Pain Buddy, in documenting children's pain, symptoms and quality of life while receiving outpatient chemotherapy. The long term goal of Pain Buddy is to help doctors, nurses, and parents get the information they need to give children treatments for pain and symptom management that work. Using Pain Buddy, we aim to quantify the prevalence and intensity of daily pain and symptom episodes in children at home, data that will be used to develop a psychosocial intervention to be delivered electronically to children at home with a goal of improving quality of life. Secondary aims also include examining children's quality of life pre- and post- Pain Buddy and satisfaction with the use of Pain Buddy. This project has the potential to improve the quality of life of tens of thousands of children suffering from cancer each year using transformative mobile health information technology based approach to pain assessment and management.

Primary Outcome

As part of the daily electronic Pain Buddy diary, children were administered the Memorial Symptoms Assessment Scale. Children 8-9 years of age received an 8-item instrument and were asked to report frequency (i.e. a very short time, a medium amount, almost all the time) severity (i.e. a little, a medium amount, very), and how distressful (i.e. not at all, a little, a medium amount, very) each symptom was. Children 10-18 years of age received a 30-item instrument and were asked to report how ofte
