The study examined a cluster of symptoms considered to be common, but under-recognized in JHD: pain, itching, sleeping difficulties, psychosis and tics. MATERIALS & METHODS: A symptom survey was constructed using the online tool Qualtrics and dispersed to JHD caregivers through websites. RESULTS: A total of 33 surveys were completed. Disrupted sleep was the most prevalent symptom (87%), followed by tics (78%), pain (69%), itching (60%) and psychosis (39%). CONCLUSION: Despite limitations, the study supports that there are symptoms in the JHD population that are not considered classic, however, are common and significant for patients and caregivers.<p> Pain Sleep Pediatrics
