For children with arthritis, painful joints can limit participation in activities than
many other children are able to enjoy. Understanding the relationship between pain and activity
in these kids could mean better therapies and quality of life. I'm Sonia Singh for the
dailyRX News Network. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis, or JIA, is a disease that affects
four in every 1000 children, 25 percent of them having severe pain. A Canadian research
team recently found that less JIA pain was associated with more physical activity, however
kids with JIA were less active than those without. Consult with your doctor to learn
more about JIA and its treatments. To keep up to date with all the latest health news,
