Pain neuroscience education for patients with chronic pain: A scoping review from teaching–learning strategies, educational level, and cultural perspective

Effectiveness of in-group versus individually administered pain neuroscience education on clinical and psychosocial outcomes in patients with chronic low back pain: randomized controlled study protocol

“…PNE has shown positive results on the kinesiophobia, catastrophizing, pain intensity, disability, and physical performance in patients with CLBP ( Moseley, Nicholas & Hodges, 2004 ; Ryan et al, 2010 ; Louw et al, 2011 ; Malfliet et al, 2017 ; Rufa, Beissner & Dolphin, 2018 ; Núñez Cortés et al, 2023a ; Nuñez Cortés et al, 2023b ). A recent meta-analysis has shown that the in-group PNE had better results than individual PNE for kinesiophobia ( Romm et al, 2021 ), and it has been identified, in other types of health education, that there are greater benefits in those people who received the in-group intervention ( Riemsma, Taal & Rasker, 2003 ), probably supported by the fact that educational sessions conducted in-group modality can facilitate learning through social observation of positive behaviors exhibited by other members within the group ( Romm et al, 2021 ; Salazar-Méndez et al, 2024 ). However, there are no primary studies comparing the two PNE modalities directly.…”

“…On the other hand, despite increasing evidence that SDH are influential factors in clinical health outcomes to a greater extent than the quality and availability of medical care ( Daniel, Bornstein & Kane, 2018 ), there are no studies that analyze specifically the influence of SDH factors ( e.g. , educational level) on the effectiveness of PNE ( Salazar-Méndez et al, 2024 ).…”
