Pain and Weight Treatment: Development and Trial of PAW
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 1 Jul 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Pediatric weight management efficacy is impacted by failure to complete treatment protocols and, for those that do complete treatment, a return to unhealthy behaviors. This project tests whether treating pain, a common comorbid condition to pediatric obesity, will enhance treatment. This study will generate results that can be translated into immediate improvements in care for families seeking treatment for pediatric obesity.
