The study analyzed pain intensity trajectories in 200 children with recurrent aphthous stomatitis over a 14-day period.
-
2
Three pain intensity categories were identified: high pain relief type, moderate pain improvement type, and low pain stable type.
-
3
Independent factors influencing pain trajectories included ulcer size, number of ulcers, ulcer type, frequency of attacks, and picky eating.
-
4
Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess the impact of these factors on pain trajectory differences.
-
5
The findings aim to aid in identifying children at high risk for severe pain trajectories and improving pain management strategies.
