Brief summary
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of a pain neuroscience education programme applied to patients with shoulder pain.
Detailed description
A randomised controlled trial was performed. Fifty-five patients satisfied eligibility criteria, agreed to participate, and were randomized into an experimental group (n = 27) or control group (n =28). A manual therapy and exercises program was administered for both groups. In addition, a pain neuroscience education protocol was administered for the experimental group for a whole period of 4 weeks (1 session/week, 75mins per session).
Interventions
BEHAVIORALPNE
A manual therapy(Mulligan´s Mobilization with Movement) and 4 sessions of strenght exercises program was administered for both groups. In addition, a pain neuroscience education protocol was administered for the experimental group for a whole period of 4 weeks (1 session/week, 75mins per session).
PROCEDUREManual therapy
5 sessions of Mulligan´s Mobilization with Movement and 4 sessions of strenght exercises
