Interventions
Pain Neuroscience Education
One face-to-face Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) session was delivered by a professional certified in PNE, with a duration of approximately 35 minutes. The session addressed the neurobiology and neurophysiology of pain, central sensitization, cortical representation of body regions, pain-related changes in body perception, and psychosocial dimensions of pain. Participants also received standard pre-anesthetic assessment, identical to the usual care group.
Usual care
Usual care consisted of standard pre-anesthetic assessment and routine perioperative management, including analgesic medication administered before, during, and after hysterectomy, according to institutional protocols and the clinical judgment of the attending physician.
