Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objectives of this study are to:

* Evaluate recruitment procedures and adherence rates;
* Evaluate the ability to understand the concepts of pain neurophysiology;
* Evaluate the acceptability of an intervention program based on pain neuroscience education and exercise by institutionalized older adults and the institutions where they are.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants will be older adults with pain that are institutionalized and assess the feasibility of implementing an intervention consisting of pain neuroscience education in addition to exercise. It is antecipated that the intervention will consist of 1 to 2 sessions per week during 8 weeks and will be delivered in small groups. Participants will be assessed for pain intensity, duration, catastrophizing, fear of movement, knowledge of pain neuroscience, depression and performance.

Pain neuroscience and exercise

Participants will received an 8 week intervention consisting of pain neuroscience education and exercise. Pain neuroscience education will be conducted in line with international guidelines, covering the neurophysiology of pain, transition from from acute to chronic pain and the nervous system ability to modulate the pain experience. exercise will include general exercise and dance.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Pain neuroscience education

Intervention Type OTHER

PNE will be conducted in line with international guidelines and will cover the neurophysiology of pain, transition from acute to chronic pain and the nervous system ability to modulate the pain experience.

Exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Exercise will be provided in different formats including general exercise, strengthening, dance.
