Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Interdisciplinary Pain Education Program

It is an operative group model, with the objective of promoting education in pain, where the patient occupies an active and central space in the learning process, with work focused on the dysfunctional beliefs of chronic pain, performing programmed tasks to promote autonomy in activities daily life and behavior change. The group works with one meeting per week, during the routine opening hours of the clinic, with each day a theme of a professional area being addressed, totaling 5 meetings, lasting approximately two hours.

OTHER

Conventional Physiotherapy treatment

The therapeutic approach consists of rehabilitation methods and techniques, with the aim of restoring, developing and conserving the patient's physical capacity and functionality, including manual therapy and kinesiotherapy, in addition to the use of resources such as electrotherapy, thermotherapy and auriculotherapy. The treatment is performed at the Physiotherapy outpatient clinic, twice a week, with an average duration of 45 minutes, for a period that lasts an average of 10 sessions in clinical cases of chronic musculoskeletal pain.
