| Chronic pain affects many elderly, children, and adolescents with disabilities. Certain challenging pain conditions begin primarily during adolescence and disproportionately affect girls and women. Children with these conditions require an interdisciplinary treatment program that includes physiotherapy as well as medication and/or psychological intervention. Converging lines of evidence from cohort follow-up studies, retrospective chart reviews, and one randomized controlled trial supports the effectiveness of physiotherapy within an interdisciplinary programme for treating children with chronic pain. AFAQ program in physiotherapy and rehabilitation and psychosocial support in 2020 were provided through supporting two physio and rehab centers in Western rural Aleppo. |
