The Effects of Pain Neuroscience Education in a Spanish-Speaking Population

NCT03785353 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: ShenandoahU(2018-2019)
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 8
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) has been shown to be effective to alter beliefs and decrease pain among individuals with musculoskeletal pain. Additionally, PNE has been shown to alter beliefs among middle school children. This study plans to assess the effects of PNE within a group of Spanish-speaking individuals.

Conditions

Pain; Educational Problems

Keywords

Pain Neuroscience Education; Spanish-speaking

Model Details: Participants will arrive at a location TBD on the day of data collection. Consent forms will be dispersed to participants, who will be able to ask any questions they may have before signing. A Spanish-speaking researcher will be available to answer those questions. After consent is received, each participant will draw a random number that will be used to link their responses to pre- and post-lecture surveys. After consent is received, a pre-test on pain knowledge and beliefs will be administered. A 30-minute Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) lecture will be given to participants in Spanish. A post-test on pain knowledge and beliefs will be administered.
