Effects of Including a Chronic Pain Neuroscience Education Program for Individuals With Knee OA

The therapeutic exercise program will include warm-up, resistance, neuromuscular, mobility, and balance exercises. Over ten weeks, two sessions of the therapeutic exercise program will be carried out individually, lasting approximately 60 minutes each-a total of 20 therapeutic exercise sessions. Therapeutic exercise sessions will be carried out at least 24 hours between sessions. Therapeutic exercises will be performed in up to three sets of 8-12 repetitions or 30-60 seconds each, with rest intervals of 90 seconds between sets.

"In addition to the therapeutic exercise protocol previously reported in the control group, research participants allocated to the experimental group will undergo an education program in the neurosciences of chronic pain carried out one day a week between the two therapeutic exercise sessions lasting ten weeks.~The chronic pain neuroscience education program will be based on three domains. Making sense of pain, Exposure with control, and Lifestyle changes also urge modifications aimed at improving sleep, stress, and anxiety."
