Summary

Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder that is commonly associated with chronic joint pain, reduced physical function, and decreased quality of life. Pain science education combined with exercise therapy has shown beneficial effects in people with chronic musculoskeletal pain; however, its effectiveness in people with hemophilia remains largely unknown. Telerehabilitation may improve access to rehabilitation by reducing geographical and transportation barriers, but its effectiveness compared with face-to-face delivery has not been established in this population.

This randomized controlled non-inferiority trial will compare a 6-week multimodal telerehabilitation program consisting of pain science education and therapeutic exercise with an equivalent face-to-face program in adults with hemophilia and chronic pain. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two interventions. Clinical outcomes will be assessed before and after the intervention by an assessor blinded to group allocation. The study aims to determine whether telerehabilitation provides clinical outcomes that are not inferior to those achieved with conventional face-to-face rehabilitation.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

other

A standardized pain neuroscience education program delivered once weekly for 6 weeks. Educational sessions focus on the neurobiology and neurophysiology of pain, pain modulation, central sensitization, the influence of cognitive and emotional factors on pain, and strategies to promote adaptive self-management and behavior change. The educational content is identical in both study arms and differs only in the mode of delivery (telerehabilitation or face-to-face).

OTHER

Exercise

A standardized supervised exercise program delivered once weekly for 6 weeks. Each session includes a warm-up, joint mobility exercises, stretching, and progressive strengthening exercises for major muscle groups. Exercise intensity is progressively increased according to participants' perceived exertion using the Borg CR10 scale. The exercise protocol is identical in both study arms and differs only in the mode of delivery.
