The efficacy of pain neuroscience education on musculoskeletal pain: A systematic review of the literature
TL;DR: Current evidence supports the use of PNE for chronic MSK disorders in reducing pain and improving patient knowledge of pain, improving function and lowering disability, reducing psychosocial factors, enhancing movement, and minimizing healthcare utilization.

Physiotherapy for functional motor disorders: a consensus recommendation

TL;DR: There appear to be specific physiotherapy techniques which are useful in FMD and which are amenable to and require prospective evaluation, and the processes involved in referral, treatment and discharge from physiotherapy should be considered carefully.

TL;DR: Clinicians can use the proposed classification algorithm for differentiating neuropathic, nociceptive, and central sensitization pain for each individual patient with chronic pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Peripheral input and its importance for central sensitization
TL;DR: Mounting evidence indicates that treatment strategies that desensitize the peripheral and central nervous systems are required, so that therapies may target the peripheral drivers of central sensitization and/or the central consequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thinking beyond muscles and joints: Therapists' and patients' attitudes and beliefs regarding chronic musculoskeletal pain are key to applying effective treatment
Jo Nijs,Nathalie Roussel,Nathalie Roussel,C. Paul van Wilgen,Albère Köke,Rob J. E. M. Smeets +5 more
TL;DR: Clinicians are provided with a 5-step approach toward effective and evidence-based care for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain that can be integrated in the clinical reasoning process and results in individually-tailored treatment programs that specifically address the patients' attitudes and beliefs in order to improve treatment adherence and outcome.

The Pain Catastrophizing Scale: Development and validation.
TL;DR: In this paper, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) was administered to 425 undergraduates and a three component solution comprising (a) rumination, (b) magnification, and (c) helplessness.

The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire
TL;DR: The Brief IPQ provides a rapid assessment of illness perceptions, which could be particularly helpful in ill populations, large-scale studies, and in repeated measures research designs.

TL;DR: It was found that this model could be considered as invariant across three samples (pain‐free students, chronic low back pain patients, and fibromyalgia patients) and across gender, indicating that the same processes are measured in different subgroups.
