Brief Summary

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

This study aims to investigate the feasibility of using pain neuroscience education for older adults with chronic pain from primary care services. It will have a group of participants receiving pain neuroscience education and exercise and a group receiving usual care.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Pain neuroscience education and exercise

This group will receive an 8-week intervention (1 session per week) of pain neuroscience education and exercise.

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 will include mobility, balance and strength exercises.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Pain neuroscience education and exercise

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 will included genera exercise delivered at moderate intensity.

Usual care

This group will receive usual care administered by general practitioners at primary care.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Usual Care

Intervention Type OTHER

Usual care delivered at primary care for older adults with pain.
