Brief Summary: Results Significant within-group differences were observed in all outcomes in both groups at post-treatment. There were no statistically between-group differences in pain (adjusted mean difference: -0.8; 95% CI -2.2 to 0.7; p?=?0.288), physical limitation (adjusted mean difference: -0.4; 95% CI -4 to 3.1; p?=?0.812) and function (adjusted mean difference: -0.8; 95% CI -1.8 to 0.1; p?=?0.069) at eight weeks. For pain catastrophizing (adjusted mean difference: -3.9; 95% CI -7.2 to -0.6; p?=?0.021), kinesiophobia (adjusted mean difference: -4.2; 95% CI -8.1 to -0.4; p?=?0.032), and self-efficacy (adjusted mean difference: 6.1; 95% CI 0.7 to 11.5; p?=?0.028) statistically between-group improvements were observed favoring PNE followed by PEs group after the treatment.
