Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A compendium of 9 fact sheets along with a related quiz have been developed in order to provide overall population current pain-science knowledge. The present study aims at analyzing the usefulness of this new tool based on pain neuroscience education (PNE) in patients from the Hospital Vall d'Hebron of Barcelona suffering from fibromyalgia, compared to a non-education group.
Secondary objective
Due to the extended content of the fact sheets, these can be delivered to the patient as a reading material or can be used as a support material in a educational presentation. Therefore, this study also aims at comparing the usefulness of the new tool based on PNE in two different formats: read autonomously by the patient and explained by a pain-science expert to the patient.
This is a tree-arm RCT: TAU group and intervention group with 2 different groups as follows:
The intervention program is divided in two groups. Both groups will be provided with the PNE fact sheets but in different format (read and explained) and will be given one week to comprehend the content before to assess their knowledge. Therefore, intervention groups will be informed that a quiz about the fact sheets will be delivered to each one in order to asses their acquired knowledge.
There are 9 fact sheets overall. And each fact sheet incorporates two pages relating to one main concept. The first of two pages introduces the concept, and the second one quotes important ideas that emerge from the main concept. The 9 main concepts and consequent ideas presented in the fact sheets are based on current scientific research in pain science and have been selected and structured specifically for PNE education for chronic pain patients. The fact sheets have been fully developed and designed by Pain Revolution, a pain educator network founded by Professor Lorimer Moseley, group leader in Body in Mind Research Group from University of South Australia.

PNE-explained group
The participants in the PNE-explained group will be explained the fact sheets with an explanatory video (due to COVID-19 circumstances) conducted by the therapist M.S. The video will last one hour approximately and it contains a presentation by Mayte Serrat with a view of the fact sheets. This group will be given one week to watch the video and comprehend its content.

PNE-read group
The PNE-read group will receive the fact sheets via email along with instructions regarding the content and the procedure to read the content. Instructions will suggest to read only two fact sheets per day during 4,5 days. It will be suggested to take 30 minutes at least for each fact sheet.
