Effect of pain neuroscience education on pain, kinesiophobia, disability, and quality of life in patients with frozen shoulder: a randomized controlled trial
Randomized trial analyzes pain neuroscience education's impact on pain and quality of life in frozen shoulder patients, suggesting positive outcomes.
Key Points
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of pain neuroscience education on pain perception, kinesiophobia, disability, and quality of life in patients with frozen shoulder.
Participants divided into two groups: one receiving pain neuroscience education plus conventional therapy, the other receiving conventional therapy alone
Assessment tools included NPRS, TSK, SPADI, and SF-36 before and after a 4-week intervention
PNE group showed significant improvement in NPRS, TSK, SPADI, SF-36 scores (p < 0.01)
Conventional therapy alone also revealed significant improvements in the same measures (p < 0.01)
Between-group analysis indicated better outcomes for the PNE group compared to conventional therapy alone (p < 0.01)
