Effectiveness of training physical therapists in pain neuroscience education for patients with chronic spine pain: a cluster-randomized trial.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Chronic spinal pain poses complex challenges for health care around the world and is in need of effective interventions. Pain neuroscience education (PNE) is a promising intervention hypothesized to improve pain and disability by changing individuals' beliefs, perceptions, and expectations about pain.
