Abstract
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) affects approximately 1% of adolescents, however, little research has been done in this area. This retrospective chart review describes the treatment goals and perceived progress as measured by the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) of 111 adolescents and young adults (AYAs) aged 12-22 (M = 15.8, SD = 1.8) diagnosed with POTS who were admitted to an interdisciplinary intensive pain treatment program (IIPT). This study also examined the change in progress and satisfaction in goals over a 3-week intensive pain treatment program, as well as the utility and validity of the COPM as an outcome measure for AYAs attending an IIPT. Results indicated adolescents and young adults endorsed treatment goals focused on self-care, school, and leisure and found that performance and satisfaction scores significantly improved from admission to discharge. The findings also suggest that the COPM is a useful and valid outcome measure for this population.
