Pain Neuroscience Education and Exercise for Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain
Sponsor: Hacettepe University
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effects of adding Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) to motor control exercises in individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) who also present with central sensitization. The study focuses on changes in pain intensity, pain-related factors, trunk muscle activation, gait, functionality, kinesiophobia, and quality of life.
Official title: Investigation of the Effectiveness of Exercise and Pain Neuroscience Education in Individuals With Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain With Central Sensitization

Motor Control Exercises
Participants will perform these exercises under physiotherapist supervision twice per week for 8 weeks. Exercises focus on improving deep trunk muscle coordination and stability.
Pain Neuroscience Education
A 6-week educational program with weekly sessions using slide presentations and interactive discussions, covering pain neurophysiology, central sensitization, and pain coping strategies, delivered by a certified physiotherapist.
