Opportunity Description:

Are you a teen between the ages of 13-18? We are looking for 13-18 year old teen volunteers to participate in our research study. We are in need of volunteers who: Experience unexplained chronic pain at least once a week for 3 months, or Do not experience chronic pain Volunteering for this research study involves one simple visit to the IWK Health Centre to complete questionnaires about your pain and other painless biological measures of stress. In addition, if you have chronic pain, you will have the option of volunteering in a mindfulness-based intervention at a later date. This intervention will help teens with chronic pain learn how to better cope with their symptoms, thereby potentially reducing them.
