Brief Summary

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

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of a pain neuroscience education programme applied to patients with shoulder pain.

Detailed Description

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

A randomised controlled trial was performed. Fifty-five patients satisfied eligibility criteria, agreed to participate, and were randomized into an experimental group (n = 27) or control group (n =28). A manual therapy and exercises program was administered for both groups. In addition, a pain neuroscience education protocol was administered for the experimental group for a whole period of 4 weeks (1 session/week, 75mins per session).
