“…Research evidence confirms that a clinician's attitudes and beliefs towards pain influence their patient's perceptions regarding their pain and disability; see Nijs et al (2013) for a review. Practitioners should also consider the impact of their use of language on their patients (Stewart 2014).…”

This Masterclass discusses findings from a growing body of qualitative research studies that have investigated the subjective experience of having persistent non-malignant low back pain. These studies have found that people with experience changes in self image, personal relationships and life roles. They have also reported on how subjectivity affects the therapeutic relationship, what patients have found helpful in dealing with healthcare professionals, and what it is like to go through a healthcare system for a pain that may not be curable or even diagnosable. The findings are of great importance for clinicians who wish to provide person centred care for patients with persistent low back pain, so this Masterclass ends with key lessons for practitioners

“…As a clinician, it is easy to assume a model of 'mechanical failure' and forget the wider context of which the knee symptoms are part (45). By disregarding such factors and continuing with our technically sophisticated, biomedically based diagnostics and treatment, we as healthcare workers risk imposing a further burden on the patient.…”

“…One argument is the interest in pain by people suffering from pain (Louw et al 2009). Various authors have implied that the current models used to teach people about pain are inadequate (Gifford 1998, Moseley 2007, Nijs et al 2013. In orthopaedics, as an example, as a means to explain pain to a patient, healthcare providers often migrate towards biomedical models such as anatomy and biomechanics.…”

“…Moseley (2002) argued that PNE's proposed success may be associated with a reconceptualisation of pain by the patient. This reconceptualisation dichotomises tissue issues (nociception) and pain, thus helping patients understand that tissue injury and pain are not synonymous (Nijs et al 2013, Puentedura et al 2009. Furthermore, it has been argued that one of PNE's benefits may be associated with a "new" pain language which utilises fewer provocative words, thus decreasing the pain experience (Louw et al 2013a, Louw et al 2014b.…”

Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) has been shown to increase patient and healthcare provider knowledge of pain. To date, however, no study has examined if that knowledge is maintained over time. Patients suffering from chronic pain were invited to attend a free PNE lecture. Patients were required to complete intake demographics followed by two self-report measures 2 weeks before, 48 hours before, 48 hours after, 6 weeks after and 12 weeks after the PNE lecture. The two self-report measures collected at each interval were pain ratings (numeric rating scale [NRS]) and knowledge of pain (Neurophysiology Pain Questionnaire [NPQ]). Only data from patients who completed these measures at each interval were analysed. A repeated ANOVA was used to analyse the changes in NRS and NPQ over time. Forty-seven patients (11.4 years of pain) completed all five surveys for analysis. The NPQ scores showed significant increases in pain knowledge from 2 weeks pre-PNE to all post-PNE intervals (p = 0.002, p = 0.001, p = 0.005), as well as 48 hours pre-PNE to all post PNE-intervals (p = 0.001, p <0.001, p = 0.001). A single PNE session has the ability to increase pain knowledge, and maintain the increased knowledge 3 months later.
