As healthcare demands high-quality cost-effective care and patients seek self-management strategies, integrative medicine has become more of an interest to patients, physicians, and administrators. The NIH has a dedicated center (National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health) for integrative therapies. Additionally, these treatments must meet evidence-based criteria for efficacy to be considered for reimbursement and in order for clinical settings to integrate them into the standard of care.
The care of children at the quaternary children's hospital is focused in traditional Western medicine modalities of diagnosis, surgery, and medical treatment with pharmacologic medications. However, integrative health modalities, such as acupuncture, massage, Reiki, nutritional supplements, or oral complementary therapies (such as cannabinoids) have been increasingly discussed by our patients, especially during Palliative Care Consults. As healthcare demands high-quality cost-effective care and patients seek self-management strategies, integrative medicine has become more of an interest to patients, physicians, and administrators. The NIH has a dedicated center (National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health) for integrative therapies. Additionally, these treatments must meet evidence-based criteria for efficacy to be considered for reimbursement and in order for clinical settings to integrate them into the standard of care. The objective of this project is to examine feasibility, timing, appropriate measures, and provide the basis for future in-depth study of the outcomes of individual integrative symptom management strategies.
Hypotheses:
Children, adolescents, and young adults will be able to complete electronic self-report questionnaires and physical measures before and after integrative interventions, and monthly.
Caregivers will be able to complete electronic proxy questionnaires before and after integrative interventions, and monthly.
Integrative interventions will be associated with changes on the questionnaires and physical measures such as a decrease in frequency, severity, or level of interference with symptoms.
Participants will rate their satisfaction with integrative interventions positively.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Patients Referred by the Pain Service or Palliative Care Service | Any CHCO patient referred for integrative interventions by the Pain Service or the Palliative Care Service. Patients at CHCO include premature infants through young adults. Any of these patients could benefit from integrative treatments. The treatments will only be offered after medical team approval and parental consent. All treatments will be provided by credentialed and licensed providers and will follow CHCO approved policies and procedures. |

| Patient satisfaction of integrative intervention | Identify patient satisfaction of integrative intervention by having the patient rate the integrative intervention | 12 months |
| Determine level of symptom interference in active treatment using the PRO-CTCAE | The Pediatric Patient Reported Outcomes version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE) measurement system is content valid for children ages 7 years and older The 15 core CTCAE terms are abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, mucositis, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, pain, anorexia, headache, peripheral sensory neuropathy, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and cough. The measure uses a 4-point Likert-type scale to assess frequency, severity, and level of interference. |

| Physical Exam | Other | Physical measures before and after integrative interventions, and monthly. Thoracic kyphosis will be measured with a non-invasive gravity dependent inclinometer (Isomed Inc.). |

| Determine Patient QOL using Pediatric PROMIS | Determine patient Quality of Life (QOL) using Pediatric Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS). Acceptable item and scale reliability have been documented. Items are scored from 0 (never) to 4 (almost always) for symptom interference and psychological measures, and from 0 (with no trouble) to 4 (not able to do) for performance measures. All domains use a 5-point Likert scale and are reported as individual domain scores. | 12 months |
| Determine Emotional Pain Using the Faces Scale | The Faces Scale has been used for evaluating emotional responses to pain on children 3-17 years old. It is a one page form with nine faces in order of happy to upset. Numerical values are given to each face as determined by childrens' perspectives for an affective value by asking 200 children to directly scale the feelings depicted by the faces. | 12 months |
| Determine Patient Satisfaction Using a 5-point Likert Scale | A satisfaction questionnaire will be included as the final question in the post-intervention tool and in the three-month follow up tool. Satisfaction with each type of intervention received will be measured by a five-point Likert scale. | 12 months |
| Determine Number of Patients with Active Heart Rate Monitoring During Intervention | Collect data on the percentage of patients who have active heart rate monitoring during the intervention to give a general of the possibility of gathering vital sign data in the future. | 12 months |
| Determine Patient Posture Using an Inclinometer | Thoracic kyphosis will be measured with a non-invasive gravity dependent inclinometer (Isomed Inc.). The patient will assume a relaxed standing position with feet together. The evaluator palpates the spinous processes of thoracic vertebrae (T) 1, T2, T12, and lumbar vertebrae (L)1 for inclinometer placement. First, the caudal inclinometer is placed on T12 and L1, and then the cranial inclinometer is placed at T1 and T2. The angle on each of the inclinometers is then read and recorded. The thoracic kyphosis angle is calculated by the sum of the two inclinometer readings. | 12 months |
