Pain Neuroscience Education - Teaching People About Pain
UCF Institute of Exercise Physiology and Rehabilitation Science (IEPRS) Conference
Presented by Adriaan Louw, PT, Ph.D.
In recent years, pain neuroscience education (PNE) emerged as a viable treatment for persistent pain. Current best-evidence supports its ability to ease pain, disability, fear-avoidance, catastrophizing and limited movement. Additionally, it has been shown that PNE’s efficacy increases with the addition treatments commonly used by rehabilitation providers including exercises, manual therapy, mindfulness, relaxation, sleep hygiene and more. This presentation will showcase the evolution, evidence and clinical application of pain neuroscience education. This presentation is applicable to all healthcare providers treating people experiencing pain in all clinical settings. Know pain; know gain.
Learning Objectives:
1. Explain why pain neuroscience education (PNE) emerged as a viable treatment for persistent pain
2. Distinguish pain neuroscience principles in a clinical setting
