Brief Summary

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

Pain education has proven difficult to implement into clinical practice. In Denmark 4 out of 10 adults has inadequate health literacy levels. To avoid inequality in health care we need a new and accurate method to provide pain education to all who need it.

In this study, existing concept of pain education is implemented into clinical practice for a group of chronic pain patients including those with low degrees of health literacy, and then evaluate its use from both patient and physiotherapist perspective.

Detailed Description

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

The focus of this is project is to implement existing knowledge into clinical practice and to adapt and test a tool (i.e., PNE4Kids) that was initially developed to explain pain to children and their parents, for its potential to teach adults in pain about contemporary pain science in a way that takes into consideration those with low degrees of health literacy. Further, we want to test its feasibility in adult pain patients at a community-based rehabilitation center. It is expected that adult patients suffering from chronic pain will find the adapted PNE4Kids, named PNE4Adults, comprehendible, will benefit from this type of pain education in terms of increased pain knowledge and self-efficacy, and decreased pain-intensity and pain catastrophizing thoughts. It is also expected that physiotherapists will find the pain education program easy to engage with and to transfer into a clinical setting.

Intervention Model

CROSSOVER

After a period of "usual care" for 2-4 weeks, we want to cross-over and add the pain education intervention.

The pain education intervention is an add-on to "usual care" and consists of an individualized pain education program in the form of Danish PNE4Adults. The education program consists of two session of +/- 1 hour each tailored individually to the needs of the patient. After the pain education, the patient will continue the planned rehabilitation program, but will integrate the knowledge obtained through the pain education, as an integrated part of the PNE4Adults program.

Primary Study Purpose

OTHER

Blinding Strategy

NONE

This study is designed as a cross-over study. As such, all participants will receive usual care before being introduced to the PNE4Adults board.

Study Groups

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

Usual care

Participants will initially undergo 2 weeks of usual care.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

PNE4Adults

Intervention Type OTHER

It is a clear and concise program, that consists of a manual for the physiotherapist delivering the education and a board game to enhance engagement and participant involvement. It not only provides the physiotherapist with a clear "how-to" manual but also provides an easy and accessible way for the patient to grasp the difficult and complex concept of pain.

PNE4Adults

Participants will undergo 2 sessions (1-2 weeks) where they will be introduced to the PNE4Adult board.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

PNE4Adults
