First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study tested whether teaching people with chronic low back pain about how pain works in the brain and body (pain neuroscience education) reduces disability better than standard education about spine anatomy. 88 adults with back pain for over a year took part. The goal was to see if understanding pain biology, combined with a rehab program, leads to less disability after 3 months.
