چکیده
Results The mean arthritis activity score was 0.9 ± 1.7 (range 0–9) and the mean average score of pain was 1.0 ± 1.2 (range 0–4.7). Thirteen children (31,0%) reported pain every day (average pain score = 2.3). The arthritis activity and the pain experience didn't correlate significantly (r = 0.203, p = 0.221). Significant correlations were obtained between the pain experience and the pain-coping subscale of catastrophizing, the pain belief subscales of disability, harm, emotion, and solicitude. Conclusion The results indicated that pain was still a considerably problem in our sample, even though many of the children were in remission with biological agents. No association was found between the arthritis activity and the pain experience,
