Effect of pain neuroscience education (PNE) in people with different mechanisms of chronic pain: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Chronic pain poses a multifaceted and prevalent challenge that significantly affects an individual's quality of life. Sensory mechanisms, behavioural components (kinesiophobia and catastrophising), and social factors can influence pain perception in both younger and older populations. Moreover, the mechanisms underlying these altered pain phenotypes require further investigation in order to plan appropriate treatment.

Effect of various exercise protocols on neuropathic pain in individuals with type 2 diabetes with peripheral neuropathy: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Diabetic neuropathy is considered as the most common and alarming microvascular complication of diabetes worldwide. Despite the recent major advances, there remains a dearth in literature on effective treatment options that appropriately target the natural history of painful diabetic neuropathy.

Aims: To review various exercise programs for neuropathic pain in type 2 diabetes individuals with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
