Brief summary (from the registry)
Brief Summary: The goal of this observational study (case series) is to determine whether Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) can influence memory function and sensory awareness in adults (18 years and older) experiencing chronic pain lasting more than one year. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a single PNE session improve memory performance, as measured by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)? Does PNE change sensory awareness, as represented by alterations in body pain drawings using a grid overlay method? Participants will: Complete pre-intervention assessments, including: Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) Body chart drawing to map pain area Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Pain Catastrophization Scale (PCS) Receive a 10-15 minute standardized PNE session delivered by a licensed clinician trained in pain science Complete the same assessments immediately after the intervention to identify any changes in memory, sensory awareness, and pain perception This study aims to explore whether PNE can positively impact cognitive and sensory functions affected by chronic pain, beyond its already-established effects on movement and pain intensity.
