An interventional study of PNE+Physiotherapy and Physiotherapy in Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain, sponsored by University of Malaga. Completed at 1 site in Spain. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-06-04.

Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) is highly prevalent, disabling and with high socio-economic costs, with many negative effects on quality of life. CMP affects the ability to perform work, social, recreational and domestic tasks by changing the mood and concentration of this population that suffers.
In a study carried out in 2010, 17% of the Spanish population had experienced pain in the last month and according to the severity of symptoms 12% felt severe , 64% moderate and 24% mild pain. In this same study it is specified that 61% was due to back pain, 29% due to neck pain and 23% due to shoulder pain.
Pain neuroscience education (PNE) has been shown as an effective treatment strategy in increasing knowledge and understanding of neurobiology, neurophysiology and pain processing, modifying beliefs about it, improving patient skills and encouraging to the accomplishment of physical and social activities in different chronic pathologies.
Study design and setting: The design of the present study will be a quasi-experimental study with 2 follow-ups (one month and four months after intervention) that will be performed between Apr 2018 and Apr 2020 in public health system in Malaga, Spain. The outcomes will be assessed at baseline (t0), one month (t1) and four months after the physiotherapy treatment begins (t2). Written informed consent will be acquired for all participants prior to their participation.
493 studies on the registry are indexed under Musculoskeletal Pain; 113 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 100 is above the median of 69 across 346 interventional studies indexed under Musculoskeletal Pain.
