Brief summary (from the registry)
This randomized controlled study investigated the effects of pain neuroscience education (PNE) on pain intensity, pain knowledge, and pain catastrophizing in elite volleyball players with chronic shoulder pain. Participants were assigned to either a PNE group or a control group, both continuing regular sports training, while the PNE group additionally received six weeks of structured education sessions.
