Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This paper evaluates the psychometric properties of the German translation of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale for Children (SKS-D), assessing its factorial structure, reliability, and validity in two samples of children and adolescents with recurrent headaches. The study finds that the scale demonstrates a unidimensional structure and significant validity, with higher scores associated with clinical status and female gender. It concludes that the instrument is suitable for assessing catastrophizing in pediatric pain patients aged 10–16 years.
