Art and Movement at the Service of Children Who Are Victims of School Bullying

France8 participantsStarted 2022-06-02

Plain-language summary

In the context of the care of children or adolescents with unexplained chronic pain, it is not uncommon to find that some patients confide in past or present school bullying. School bullying can have devastating consequences. Often taboo or not taken into account, it can lead to school phobia with dropout, extreme moral suffering or even reactive physical disorders. Loss of confidence, withdrawal into oneself can develop major depressive syndromes that can lead to suicidal thoughts and acting out. The Mouv'on project offers these children/adolescents the opportunity to experience the art of movement, on the border between martial arts and dance (group sessions) and creative art (production of a street-art fresco) in order to regain confidence, restore the link to the other, discover or re-discover the relationship to the body. It is indeed a parenthesis of relaxation, movement, breathing and meeting. The meeting of the child with himself but also with a group. The objectives of the study are to assess the benefits of the workshops offered to children and adolescents on self-esteem and on the feeling of pain and the impact of pain on daily behavior.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
