Peer Review
[edit]Good start with your article! I think chronic childhood pain is an important problem, and an area that should get more attention on Wikipedia. Pain is such a multidimensional experience, and I am glad that you have laid out your article in such a way that will allow you to touch upon different factors that affect onset of pain, management, and outcomes. As you continue expanding your article, I would love to see more information about factors (illness, injury, psychological distress, developmental influences, and environmental factors) that have been documented to influence the onset of chronic childhood pain, especially since you mention a few in your lead sentence. For your outcomes section, I am interested in learning more about short-term and long-term effects of childhood chronic pain for the patient as well as the patient's family. If there has been any longitudinal research conducted on consequences of childhood chronic pain that are visible in adulthood, I would be interested in reading such. As you continue expanding your article, you can add more subsections to your outline as necessary! Along the same vein, you can find images to supplement your text in the future, if you so wish. Overall, I am impressed with what you have written thus far, and think you have selected a great topic to work on. Excited to ready your future contributions! Mtran99 (talk) 23:24, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
Peer review
[edit]This article does a good job of remaining neutral but informative. The variety of sources used definitely impressed me. The only changes I would suggest the author make to the article is to refrain from using words like “comorbid” or “maladaptive” that the average person may not know. These changes would be an improvement to the article because it would allow the average reader to understand the more complex medical conditions involved in childhood chronic pain. The author could also add more illustrations or graphics to improve the article. The most important thing is probably for the author to focus on making the article and its more medical components easier to understand for the average reader.

- While dated, I'll counter that retaining the terms, with appropriate wikilinks to the "offending" terms would be much more appropriate. A concerned parent reading a medical record and seeing those words and coming here would then have a helpful wikilink to provide more balanced information than otherwise might be found elsewhere.Wzrd1 (talk) 03:18, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
Assessment
[edit]I've assessed the article against the criteria at Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Assessment #Quality scale. The areas covered contain a lot of information, but the coverage remains somewhat too incomplete to be anything more than C-Class. I suggest having a look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Medicine-related articles, particularly the Content sections part, which should give you some idea of where greater coverage would be useful. --RexxS (talk) 13:25, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
