Objectives: Group-based pain management programs (GPMPs) have been found to significantly improve quality of life and other pain outcome measures in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain. The aims of this meta-analysis were to reevaluate the overall effect of GPMPs on various pain outcomes for individuals experiencing chronic musculoskeletal conditions and to explore moderator variables that potentially contribute to the overall efficacy of GPMPs.
Methods: Using the R package called metaphor and RevMan, we estimated the overall effectiveness of GPMPs on various pain outcome measures.
Article Synopsis
- This meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of therapeutic pain neuroscience education (TPNE) on chronic musculoskeletal pain by analyzing various pain outcome measures such as pain intensity and kinesiophobia.
- Significant improvements were observed in all outcomes, particularly when TPNE was delivered in group settings, which showed a notable reduction in kinesiophobia.
- While TPNE was generally effective, additional factors like session dosage and treatment format had limited impact, with group-based interventions being the only significant moderator.
