About the FIRST Program: Inpatient Rehabilitation for Children with Chronic Pain
Cincinnati Children's offers one of the country's only comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation programs for children whose severe, chronic pain is preventing them from enjoying a good quality of life. Our Functional Independence Restoration Program (FIRST) approach helps patients learn more about their condition, develop coping skills, recondition their bodies and transition back into their lives. This inpatient program is part of the Pain Management Center at Cincinnati Children's, which is nationally recognized for its expertise in the diagnosis, treatment and research of complex pediatric pain conditions.
The FIRST Program involves intensive, inpatient rehabilitation for children and adolescents, 10-17 years of age, who are experiencing chronic pain syndromes and pain associated disability. Some patients experience significant pain relief as a result of the program, but the ultimate goal is to help them become more independent and resourceful so that they can manage their pain effectively and regain a typical life at home, at school and in their community.
Patients who benefit include those experiencing:
Amplified musculoskeletal pain syndromes
Complex regional pain syndrome (reflex sympathetic dystrophy)
Fibromyalgia
Functional abdominal pain syndrome
Noninflammatory joint or back pain
Widespread pain related to joint hypermobility syndromes
