Summary

The purpose of this study is to test whether adding a treatment using pain neuroscience education (PNE) and coping skills training (CST) to usual care, in subjects with knee osteoarthritis and pain catastrophizing, who are scheduled for a total knee arthroplasty (TKA), is more effective than only usual care. There is a high evidence level of different systematic reviews, which support the efficacy of physiotherapy treatments combined with behavioural techniques aimed to reduce pain catastrophism, pain and disability in other pathologies. The primary aim of that kind of interventions is to help the subjects to reconceptualise its own pain understanding and its role on the recovery process, as well as promoting an increase of activity and encourage the subject to resume its usual activity instead of continuing to avoid it.
