METHODS: Cross-sectional study of 101 caregivers of children (3 to 6 years old) with SB. Survey data and information from medical records were included. Pearson chi-square, one-way ANOVA, Fisher\u2019s exact test, logistic regressions, and bivariate correlations were used. RESULTS: Seventy percent reported that their child complained of pain, which did not significantly differ by sex, level of lesion, type of SB, or ambulation status. Most (86%) were reported to have experienced pain for less than 24 hours. The most frequently reported pain site was the head, followed by the abdomen and the lower body. Number of pain sites was moderately correlated with frequency of pain complaints. Correlations between how caregivers reported their own physical\/mental\/emotional health and how they rated that of their children ranged from weak (r\u200a=\u200a0.22) to moderate (r\u200a=\u200a0.55). CONCLUSION: Almost seven of ten children reportedly complained of pain ranging from at least once a month to everyday. Pain needs to be routinely assessed and treated in this population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/prm-190661","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,9]],"date-time":"2021-11-09T13:35:41Z","timestamp":1636464941000},"page":"571-582","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Site,
