Effect of Pain Neuroscience Education Combined With Cognition-Targeted Motor Control Training on Chronic Spinal Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Effective treatments for chronic spinal pain are essential to reduce the related high personal and socioeconomic costs.

Objective

To compare pain neuroscience education combined with cognition-targeted motor control training with current best-evidence physiotherapy for reducing pain and improving functionality, gray matter morphologic features, and pain cognitions in individuals with chronic spinal pain.

Design, setting, and participants

Multicenter randomized clinical trial conducted from January 1, 2014, to January 30, 2017, among 120 patients with chronic nonspecific spinal pain in 2 outpatient hospitals with follow-up at 3, 6, and 12 months.

Interventions

Participants were randomized into an experimental group (combined pain neuroscience educatio
