First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a single 70-minute Pain Neuroscience Education session could improve pain knowledge and attitudes in 155 undergraduate physiotherapy students. The session covered pain neurophysiology, chronic pain mechanisms, and biopsychosocial factors. Students completed questionnaires before and right after the session to measure changes. The goal was to see if a brief educational intervention could shift how future physiotherapists understand and approach pain.
