Brief Summary

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

This observational study evaluates the impact of a Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) program on primary school students in Extremadura, Spain. The study examines satisfaction levels and knowledge acquisition regarding pain neuroscience among students with and without intellectual disabilities. Conducted across both rural and urban educational centers, as well as special and regular education schools, this study aims to identify the effectiveness of PNE in enhancing pain-related knowledge and addressing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) awareness. Additionally, the program includes interactive educational activities tailored for accessibility, using resources such as easy-to-read questionnaires and hands-on models, to support inclusive health education. Data collection involves pre- and post-intervention questionnaires to assess satisfaction and knowledge gains, with statistical analysis exploring differences between demographic and school-type groups.

Study Groups

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

Students in Rural Public Schools

This group consists of primary school students from rural public schools in Extremadura, Spain, participating in a Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) program.

Pain Neuroscience Education Program (PNE)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) Program is a structured educational intervention aimed at primary school students with and without intellectual disabilities. This program introduces students to basic concepts of pain neuroscience, designed to increase understanding of pain mechanisms and promote healthy pain coping strategies. The intervention was adapted to 'easy reading' format to ensure accessibility for students with intellectual disabilities, and was delivered in both rural and urban school settings in Extremadura, Spain.

Students in Urban Public Schools

This group includes primary school students from urban public schools in Extremadura, Spain, who participated in a Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) program.
