Brief Summary:
Chronic and recurrent pain is a very important issue in the society, and its treatment is challenging.
In children, one of the most common pain problems is recurrent abdominal pain. This problem can affect up to 12% of the children population, and can interfere on daily activities of both children and parents. Recurrent abdominal pain in children is also associated with other health problems, and can be related to problems in adulthood. Unfortunately, the current health system does not have an effective treatment for these children and their families. This is why the investigators propose an online intervention, DARWeb, for people in this situation.
DARWeb provides an innovative solution using Information and Communication Technology to facilitate access. It is also innovative because it is directed towards secondary prevention, in contrast to the majority of current treatments available for pain problems that are focused in reducing the impact of pain when it is already severe. Thus, the objective of DARWeb is to provide information and teach strategies to children and their parents that help them to cope with pain and prevent pain interference in their daily lives (in the short, medium and long term).
With this project, the investigators plan, first, to create a new version of their treatment program (DARWeb V2) from the results of the pilot study. Second, the investigators will test the effects of DARWeb V2 through a randomized clinical trial with a large sample, and they will assess the short, medium and long term effects. In addition, the investigators want to study which of the variables that are addressed in their intervention are responsible for the potential changes observed.
The investigators expect that their treatment program will be effective to reduce pain in the short, medium and long term.
