Brief summary

An e-survey study will be carried out based on Checklist for Reporting Results of 52 Internet E-Surveys (CHERRIES). The purpose of this study is to investigate the knowledge, beliefs and behaviour of Greek physiotherapists regarding the pain neuroscience education program (PNE) as an intervention in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Detailed description

The main questions it aims to answer are: What physiotherapists know about a PNE program; What physiotherapists believe about the using of a PNE program in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain? Whether and how often they use a PNE program in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain? What are the barriers of using PNE in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain?
