In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Pain, when it becomes chronic, can be a threat to patients and it is very common to observe a fear of pain and a fear of movement (kinesiophobia). Avoidance of movement due to fear of pain can lead to a deterioration of body image. Non-medicinal therapies are essential to correct this fear and movement avoidance behavior, to decrease "catastrophic" judgments and thus anxiety. The use of art-therapy in the accompaniment of patients with pain has shown, in particular, decreases in the intensity of pain, the level of anxiety, an improvement in stress, mood and overall psychological state. However, according to the current literature, it appears that 1) this technique is rarely used in children or adolescents, for whom non-medicinal therapies are fundamental, and 2) in the case of chronic pain, the form of art used is very rarely related to the body (most often painting, drawing, music...).
