Functional Pain Syndromes in Adolescents: Why It Matters
Adolescence is a transformative period filled with physical, psychological, and emotional changes. While much attention is given to common pediatric conditions and acute illnesses, functional pain syndromes—such as headaches, abdominal pain, musculoskeletal discomfort, and other chronic pain conditions—often go unnoticed or minimized.
Unlike pain linked to structural or pathological disease, functional pain syndromes are rooted in the complex interaction between the nervous system, psychological stressors, and environmental influences. These conditions are “invisible” because diagnostic tests frequently appear normal. Yet, they are undeniably impactful, leading to disruptions in school attendance, social functioning, and overall quality of life.
Dr. Al-Talabany’s session will focus on:
Case-based exploration of functional pain in real adolescent patients.
Understanding the mind-body connection and its role in chronic pain.
Strategies for effective communication with adolescents and their families.
Evidence-based interventions, from counseling and behavioral therapy to multidisciplinary approaches.
Raising awareness about the importance of empathy and validation in managing invisible illnesses.
By combining case studies with practical insights, her presentation will be both educational and inspiring for clinicians, researchers, and students alike.
Why This Topic Is Critical for Today’s Healthcare Professionals
High Prevalence: Studies show that a significant percentage of adolescents experience chronic or recurrent pain without clear physical causes.
Educational Impact: Persistent pain leads to absenteeism, concentration difficulties, and long-term academic struggles.
Mental Health Link: Functional pain often coexists with anxiety, depression, and other psychosocial challenges, making it a multidisciplinary concern.
Healthcare Costs: Misdiagnosis or unnecessary investigations lead to excessive medical expenses and increased caregiver stress.
Need for Awareness: Many healthcare providers are still underprepared to recognize and manage these conditions effectively.
Dr. Al-Talabany’s expertise in family medicine allows her to approach functional pain not only from a medical standpoint but also from a holistic, family-centered perspective—a perspective that is essential for adolescent care.
