Growing pains in children
Mročková, Monika ; Sedlak, Petr (advisor) ; Zemková, Daniela (referee)
This thesis focuses on the issue of growing pains (GP), the most common form of idiopathic musculoskeletal pain in early childhood. The disease, showing a benign recurrent course, affects children in the age range of 3-12 years and causes deep unrestrained pain in the lower limbs. The first part of the paper is based on the terminology of the disease name itself, it is prevalence and clinical manifestations. The next chapter discusses the etiology of the disease and summarizes the results of selected studies investigating the possible origins of RB. Although the first mention dates back to 1938, the cause of the disease has not been discovered to date. The chapter on diagnosis summarises the major pathological changes indicating the presence of another disease. Diagnosis is based on the exclusion of other causes, as there is no examination for RB that would confirm their presence with certainty. The last chapter of the thesis mentions possible therapeutic approaches that can be used to alleviate pain in the lower limbs.
