Impact of Pain Neuroscience Education added as an adjunct to conventional exercises on pain and pain coping/pain behavior in patients with Non specific Neck Pain- A Randomized Controlled Trial

Non-specific neckpain (NSNP) is the most common musculoskeletal disorder occurring in themiddle-aged people. PNE aims to explain to patients the biological andphysiological processes involved in pain and, more importantly, to take thefocus away from associated to anatomical structures such as muscles, cartilage,discs, and so on. PNE provides constraining evidence in painreduction, improving function, pain catastrophizing, and limitation ofphysical movement. PNE initially changes a patient’s perception of pain.

This study wasconducted to investigate the impact of pain neuroscience education as anadjunct to conventional exercises on pain coping behavior in NSNP.
