Brief summary (from the registry)
This study aims to examine the immediate effects of a single-session Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) program in physiotherapy students who experience chronic non-specific low back pain. The PNE session focuses on explaining pain mechanisms, central sensitization, and the role of psychological, cognitive, and behavioral factors in chronic pain. Participants complete outcome measures assessing pain intensity, pain knowledge, pain catastrophizing, and kinesiophobia before and immediately after the intervention. The purpose of the study is to determine whether a brief educational session can produce immediate improvements in pain-related outcomes in a student population.
