Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of chronic pain in adolescents. However, CBT seems not to be considered acceptable by all adolescents. The main aim of our study was therefore to evaluate the effects of a guided Internet-delivered self-help for adolescents with chronic pain. Adolescents (N=69) were assessed on the outcome measures: pain, coping, disability, catastrophizing, rewarding of pain behavior by parents, and quality of life. Measures were taken seven weeks before treatment, pre-treatment, post-treatment, and at three months follow-up.
