Systematic review of randomized control trials (RCTs) for the
effectiveness of pain neuroscience education (PNE)
on pain, function, disability,
psychosocial factors, movement, and healthcare utilization in individuals with
chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain. DATA SOURCES: Systematic searches were
conducted on 11 databases. Secondary searching (PEARLing) was undertaken, whereby
reference lists of the selected articles were reviewed for additional references
not identified in the primary search. STUDY SELECTION:
All experimental RCTs
evaluating the effect of PNE on chronic MSK pain were considered for inclusion.
Additional Limitations: Studies published in English, published within the last
20 years, and patients older than 18 years. No limitations were set on specific
outcome measures. DATA EXTRACTION: Data were extracted using the participants,
interventions, comparison, and outcomes (PICO) approach. DATA SYNTHESIS: Study
quality of the 13 RCTs used in this review was assessed by 2 reviewers using the
PEDro scale. Narrative summary of results is provided for each study in relation
to outcomes measurements and effectiveness. CONCLUSIONS: Current evidence
supports the use of PNE for chronic MSK disorders in reducing pain and improving
patient knowledge of pain, improving function and lowering disability, reducing
psychosocial factors, enhancing movement, and minimizing healthcare utilization.
