Brief summary (from the registry)
The International Association for the Study of Pain and The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) 11 define chronic pain as pain lasting more than 3 months, regardless of the cause. For children and adolescents, chronic pain is an extremely terrible and suffering problem. Periods of persistent pain negatively affect the child's participation in school and recreational activities, leading to academic problems and social exclusion. Moreover, children are at increased risk of experiencing chronic pain problems in adulthood. Because of these difficulties children with chronic pain should be treated as soon as possible. Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) is an educational approach used in chronic pain rehabilitation. The purpose of PNE is to change individual's perception of pain. The most fundamental and crucial aspect of PNE is educating patients about the underlying causes of their pain. The primary purpose of the project is to conduct a modified Delphi survey to obtain and synthesize expert opinions on PNE materials. The second aim of this study is to investigate the effect of PNE on pain, quality of life and participation in children with chronic pain and compare it with the standard treatment program.
