Galway Bay fm newsroom – Children in Galway who suffer from chronic pain are being invited to take part in a new pain management programme at NUI Galway.
The University is looking for children aged between 6 and 10 years old to participate in the ‘Feeling Better’ online pain management course.
The web-based initiative is the first of its kind in Ireland and is run by researchers from the School of Psychology and Center for Pain Management at NUI Galway.
Chronic pain is pain which persists for a period of three months or more – and affects up to 10% of Irish children aged between 5 and 12 years old.
For further information on the 9-week programme, you can log onto www.feelingbetter.ie.
Researcher Angeline Traynor says the aim is to help families deal with the pressures of having a child with chronic pain.
