Official title
Development of a Pain Neuroscience Education Program for Patients Who Are Opioid Dependence With Concurrent Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) is estimated to affect over 100 million adults and is targeted as an instigator of opioid dependence (OpD). Opioid medications are often the first response for patients suffering with CMP; yet over 10 million people admit to misusing opioids annually. With the opioid epidemic, the healthcare system now has a population of patients who experience CMP with concurrent OpD (CMP/OpD). This persistent problem can create a perfect storm of kinesiophobia, reduced self-efficacy, and physical dysfunction. A critical component to chronic pain management is understanding how patients view their pain experience. Education may be one key that unlocks the door to functional improvement, but traditional physical therapy (PT) education utilizes anatomical models that focus on tissue damage and peripheral sources of pain. Researchers have explored educating people about pain via Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE), a cognitive-based intervention that facilitates understanding of the biological processes underpinning the pain state. PNE may facilitate understanding pain experiences that are normal and expected, with the intent to reduce fear and increase pain self-efficacy. As yet, utilization of PNE has not been researched in patients with CMP/OpD. Therefore, authors hypothesize that the introduction of an adapted PNE (a-PNE) curriculum, as a single intervention, may facilitate positive changes in kinesiophobia, pain self-efficacy, and knowledge of the neurophysiology of pain for patients with CMP/OpD.
