“…Three, three‐arm and four, two‐arm RCTs were included. Among the former, one study compared PNE, neck/scapula stabilizer muscle strengthening and usual care (Javdaneh et al, 2021); one study compared PNE, dry needling and usual care (Valiente‐Castrillo et al, 2021) and the other compared standard PNE, culturally sensitive PNE and trunk strengthening exercises (Mukhtar et al, 2022). Among the latter, two studies compared PNE with neck and scapular stabilizer muscle strengthening (Andias et al, 2022; Matias et al, 2019), one with biomechanical education (Khosrokiani et al, 2022) and one with usual care (Andias et al, 2018).…”

“…Regarding pain intensity measurement, two studies used an NRS (Andias et al, 2022; Khosrokiani et al, 2022), four used a VAS (Andias et al, 2018; Matias et al, 2019; Mukhtar et al, 2022; Valiente‐Castrillo et al, 2021), and one used an NPAD (Javdaneh et al, 2021) as the outcome measurement for pain intensity. In terms of kinesiophobia, four of seven RCTs used the TSK as the outcome measurement for kinesiophobia (Andias et al, 2022; Khosrokiani et al, 2022; Matias et al, 2019; Valiente‐Castrillo et al, 2021).…”

BackgroundChronic neck pain (CNP) is a common musculoskeletal disorder. Pain neuroscience education (PNE) is a promising nonpharmacological intervention for CNP, however, its effectiveness remains unclear. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of PNE in treating CNP.MethodsElectronic databases from inception to February 2023 were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effects of PNE on CNP. The primary outcome was the change in pain intensity, and the secondary outcome was improvement in kinesiophobia, standardized using Hedges' g. Two authors independently scrutinized eligible articles, extracted data and assessed quality; a random‐effects model was employed for data pooling.ResultsIn total, seven RCTs comprising 479 participants were included and demonstrated that PNE significantly reduced pain intensity (Hedges' g = −0.730, 95% CI = −1.340 to −0.119, p = 0.019, I2 = 89.288%). Subgroup analysis revealed that the adult group experienced significant pain reduction after PNE, whereas the adolescent group did not. PNE also reduced kinesiophobia which was evaluated in four of seven RCTs (Hedges' g = −0.444, 95% CI = −0.735 to −0.154, p = 0.003, I2 = 36.822%). The meta‐regression analysis indicated that an increased intervention duration contributed to greater pain reduction. No adverse events were reported following PNE or the control treatment.ConclusionsPNE effectively reduced pain intensity and kinesiophobia in patients with CNP. A longer PNE time leads to greater pain reduction and is more effective in adults than in adolescents. Further studies are required to examine the long‐term effects on CNP management.SignificanceThis is the first meta‐analysis evaluating the effectiveness of treating chronic neck pain with pain neuroscience education. Pain neuroscience education is successful in reducing pain and decreasing kinesiophobia in the chronic neck pain population. Longer treatment time leads to greater pain reduction.

“…Indeed, the meaning, evaluation and interpretation of pain, and the consequent emotional and behavioral coping responses are known to be influenced by culture [79,80]. A few culturally adapted pain education materials have recently been developed and tested in adults with promising results for poor and lowliterate populations and for recent immigrants who are not acculturated yet [81][82][83][84]. However, cultural disparities also exist between children and culturally adapted pain education material for children is still non-existent today.…”

Spreading the word: pediatric pain education from treatment to prevention

Pain affects everyone hence one can argue that it is in each individual’s interest to understand pain in order to hold correct and adaptive beliefs and attitudes about pain. In addition, chronic pain is reaching pandemic proportions and it is now well known that people living with chronic pain have a reduced life expectancy. To address and to prevent the growth of this public health disaster, we must start looking beyond adulthood. How children view pain has an impact on their behavioral coping responses which in turn predict persistent pain early in the lifespan. In addition, children who suffer from chronic pain and who are not (properly) treated for it before adolescence have an increased risk of having chronic pain during their adult life. Explaining pain to children and youth may have a tremendous impact not only on the individual child suffering from chronic pain but also on society, since the key to stop the pain pandemic may well lie in the first two decades of life. In order to facilitate the acquisition of adaptive behavioral coping responses, pain education aims to shift people’s view on pain from being an apparent threat towards being a compelling perceptual experience generated by the brain that will only arise whenever the conceivable proof of danger to the body is greater than the conceivable proof of safety to the body. Nowadays a lot of pain education material is available for adults, but it is not adapted to children’s developmental stage and therefore little or not suitable for them. An overview of the state-of-the-art pain education material for children and youth is provided here, along with its current and future areas of application as well as challenges to its development and delivery. Research on pediatric pain education is still in its infancy and many questions remain to be answered within this emerging field of investigation.
