About this study
Official title: Knowledge, Beliefs and Attitudes of Greek Physiotherapist About the Using of Pain Neuroscience Education Program in Chronic Musculoskeletal Patients
An e-survey study will be carried out based on Checklist for Reporting Results of 52 Internet E-Surveys (CHERRIES)". The purpose of this study is to investigate the knowledge, beliefs and behaviour of Greek physiotherapists regarding the pain neuroscience education program (PNE) as an intervention in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Read the detailed description
The main questions it aims to answer are:
What physiotherapists know about a PNE program; What physiotherapists believe about the using of a PNE program in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain? Whether and how often they use a PNE program in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain? What are the barriers of using PNE in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain?
- Conditions
- Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain
- Keywords
- Pain Neuroscience Education, Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Demographic characteristics
Questions will include participants' demographic characteristics (e.g. gender, age), 2) the setting where they practice their profession (e.g. hospital, private physiotherapy clinic), 3) level of education (e.g. BSc, MSc), 5) their years of practice, 6) seminars or training programs they have attended regarding pain neuroscience education.
Measured: Baseline
Knowledge related to Pain Neuroscience Education
A question about how much do they know about Pain Neuroscience Education using a 10-point Likert scale, where 0=I don't know anything about the concept and 10=I have comprehensive knowledge on the concept."
Measured: Baseline
Beliefs related to Pain Neuroscience Education
A question about how much do they believe a Pain Neuroscience Education is useful as an intervention in chronic musculoskeletal patients, using a 6-point Likert scale, where 0=completely disagree and 10=completely agree.
Measured: Baseline
Attitudes related to Pain Neuroscience Education
A question about the application of a Pain Neuroscience Education as an intervention in chronic musculoskeletal patients, using a 6-point Likert scale, where 0=completely disagree and 10=completely agree.
Measured: Baseline
Barriers related to Pain Neuroscience Education
5 statements with specific barriers for Pain Neuroscience Education using a 6-point Likert scale, where 0=completely disagree and 10=completely agree and an open question about other barriers.
Measured: Baseline

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Greece. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Demographic characteristics (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
