Pain Education on Disability, Pain, Quality of Life, and Self-Efficacy for Chronic Low Back Pain .
Effects of pain education on disability, pain, quality of life, and self-efficacy in chronic low back pain: A randomized controlled trial.
PLoS One . 2024 May 28;19(5):e0294302.Ninety-two patients with chronic low back pain were randomized to receive either standard physiotherapy care with a pain education program (n=46) or standard physiotherapy care alone (n=46). The primary outcome of interest was the intensity of pain. Secondary outcomes included disability, quality of life, self-efficacy, and prognostic characteristics. Outcomes were assessed at the end of a 6-week intervention. Overall, the results of the study revealed significant improvements in pain intensity, disability, and quality of life in the group receiving pain education compared to the control group. The study suggests that incorporating pain education into standard physiotherapy care can effectively enhance pain management and overall well-being in chronic low back pain patients.
