Abstract Background Pain neuroscience education (PNE) combined with cognition-targeted exercises is an effective treatment for people chronic spinal pain (CSP). However, it unclear why some patients benefit more from this treatment. We expect that pronounced maladaptive cognitions, such as kinesiophobia, might show poorer responses. Objective The objective of study was to assess the influence b...

Chronic whiplash is a debilitating condition characterized by increased sensitivity to painful stimuli, maladaptive illness beliefs, inappropriate attitudes, and movement dysfunctions. Previous work in people with chronic low back pain and chronic fatigue syndrome indicates that pain neurophysiology education is able to improve illness beliefs and attitudes as well as movement performance.

BACKGROUND Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for chronic pain has good empirical support. Pain acceptance is most often assessed with the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ). Recently a shorter 8-item version, the CPAQ-8, was developed. OBJECTIVES To further validate the CPAQ-8 in a Swedish context and to test its sensitivity to treatment effects, an as-yet unknown property of the in...

Background and Objectives: Because most individuals with chronic back pain (CLBP) have no specific cause, it is usually described as central sensitization. Pain neuroscience education (PNE) in top-down control may be effective against carryover effects; however, this remains unclear. In study, the effect was qualitatively quantitatively synthesized analyzed. Materials Methods: Randomized contro...

[Purpose] We compared the effectiveness of dry needling with a classical physiotherapy program in patients with chronic low-back pain caused by lumbar disc hernia (LHNP). [Subjects and Methods] In total, 34 subjects were allocated randomly to the study (n=18) and control groups (n=16). In the study group, dry needling was applied using acupuncture needles. The control group performed a home exe...
