Pain neuroscience education is not superior to spinal physiology and ergonomics education within a short multidisciplinary rehabilitation program: A randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: There is little evidence to suggest that one educational intervention is superior to another when associated with a rehabilitation program in the management of persistent low back pain. The objective of the present study was to compare pain neuroscience education with spine physiology and ergonomics education as part of a one-week multidisciplinary rehabilitation program.

Method: We conducted a randomized, controlled trial among patients having experienced persistent low back pain for at least 1 year.

Clarification of the "pain neuroscience education" concept in the management of patients with persistent low back pain: A scoping review.

Background: Patient education is a recommended treatment strategy for persistent low back pain (PLBP). Pain neuroscience education (PNE) is an emerging concept with boundaries still unclear.

Objective: To clarify the PNE concept and identify its key characteristics in PLBP management.
