This article reviews the current evidence on whether the children of chronic pain patients are more likely to develop pain problems than the children of pain-free parents. Genetic factors may have a role in some pain conditions, such as familial hemiplegic migraine and juvenile idiopathic arthritis. However, the literature suggests that in many instances environmental factors are likely to have a significant role and may render children whose parents have chronic pain more vulnerable to experiencing pain themselves. Many studies in this field are compromised by small samples and a reliance on retrospective reports. |
