Summary

The primary objective of this study is to examine whether Pain Neuroscience Education for children is able to increase a child's knowledge on the neurophysiology of pain.

In addition, this study investigates the influence of PNE on several pain related outcomes; pain-related fear, pain catastrophizing and pain vigilance and awareness.

DEVICE

Pain Neuroscience Education for children

Children and their parent will receive a +/- 1h one-on-one educational session about the neurophysiology of pain, adjusted to the child's comprehension status. Parents will be present in the PNE session too. The PNE program for children contains two sections: (1) The healthy pain system and its function, divided in subsections each consisting of a specific neurophysiological pain concept (i.e. central nervous system anatomy, nociception and nociceptive pathways, up- and down-regulation of the nervous system) and (2) adaptations of the pain system following persistent pain. To ensure interaction between therapist and child, an interactive board game was developed and used throughout the full educational session.
