Mobile multidisciplinary pain management program for children and young adults with intellectual disability, autism, or multiple disabilities
Impact and Determinants of Success of a Mobile Multidisciplinary Intervention System Specialized in Pain Management for Patients With Moderate to Severe Intellectual Development Disorder, Isolated or Associated With an ASD or Multiple Disability - MoDIDol
This project will try a mobile multidisciplinary team approach to improve how pain is identified and treated for children and young adults (0–24) with intellectual disability, autism, or multiple disabilities.

What this trial studies
A mobile multidisciplinary team (MoDIDol) based at Brest University Hospital provides tailored pain assessment and management for patients aged 0–24 with intellectual developmental disorder, ASD, or multiple disabilities. Care is delivered on request from families or professionals and includes multidisciplinary follow-up consultations approximately every six weeks. Study data are collected through three questionnaire sessions spaced three months apart and qualitative interviews with a sample of parents and professionals at six-month intervals. The program emphasizes the patient's social and family environment, living context, and clinical characteristics to guide individualized care plans.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are people under 25 with a medical diagnosis of intellectual disability (with or without ASD or multiple disabilities), a probable or definite pain diagnosis confirmed by the MoDIDol team, a PGIC score ≥ 3, and who live in or receive care in the designated Brittany departments with French health insurance.
Not a fit: Patients are unlikely to benefit if they live or receive care outside the specified departments, have more than three residences/care settings, or whose parents/guardians cannot provide informed consent or complete study questionnaires due to language or comprehension limits.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to better recognition and control of pain, fewer pain-related behavioral problems, and improved support for families and caregivers.
How similar studies have performed: Mobile multidisciplinary pain programs for this specific population are uncommon and not yet validated, so this approach is relatively novel though multidisciplinary pain care has shown benefits in other clinical groups.
