Summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a 8-week pain neuroscience education programme compared to a biomedical education programme on the rehabilitation of patients who undergo arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Outcome measures included pain intensity, patients' attitudes and beliefs about pain, disability and quality of life.

Conditions

  • Rotator Cuff Injuries

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Pain Neuroscience Education

Patients received 24 sessions, in an 8-week period, of multimodal physiotherapy (therapeutic heat, manual therapy and exercises) along with four sessions of pain neuroscience education. The latter was focused on the influence of psychosocial factors in the experience of pain, differences between acute and chronic pain and central-peripheral awareness.

BEHAVIORAL

Biomedical Education

Patients received 24 sessions, in an 8-week period, of multimodal physiotherapy (therapeutic heat, manual therapy and exercises) along with four sessions of biomedical education. The latter was focused on the anatomy and pathomechanics of the shoulder.
