Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of a Pain Science Education program to improve the conceptualization of pain in adolescents between 11 and 13 years old, schooled in the first year of Compulsory Secondary Education.

Detailed Description

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

Design:

Randomized controlled clinical trial. The primary endpoint of the study was pain conceptualization recorded by a questionnaire.

Setting:

The participants were school-age children attending a different high school in the province of Barcelona.

Participants:

Of the 450 potential school participants, 306 agreed to participate. 13 pupils were excluded when applying the eligibility criteria, so the resulting sample was of 293

Study Groups

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

Experimental group

The experimental group will carry out the sessions of the specific Pain Sciences program. This intervention is based on two educational sessions of 90 and 60 minutes each, separated by one week.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Pain Science Education

Intervention Type OTHER

The Pain Science Education program consists of two workshops, 90 and 60 minutes in length, one week apart. The content of the workshops aims to provide students with information about the contemporary pain paradigm and to re-conceptualize pain.

Control Group

The control group will not perform any specific intervention and will follow their usual academic curriculum.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
