About

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of pain neuroscience education (PNE) on physiotherapy students' knowledge, attitudes and behaviors towards pain. A total of 52 physiotherapy students will be included in the study. Students will be randomly randomly assigned to either PNE group (n=26) or control group (CG) (n=26). The PNE group will be receive a 70-min PNE based on the explanations used in "Explain Pain". The CG group will be received an education about red-flags which are special screening questions for serious pathology. The red-flags education will be discussed tissue pathology and Waddell's triage for back pain classification.Neurophysiology and the biopsychosocial model will not be discussed. Before, immediately after, and 2-months after the education sessions all students will be completed four questionnaires, the Revised Neurophysiology Pain Questionnaire (RNP-Q), the Health Care Providers' Pain and Impairment Relationship Scale(HC-PAIRS), and the red-flags questionnaire.
