Impact of a Pain Neuroscience Education Program on Primary Students with and Without Intellectual Disabilities

The Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) Program is a structured educational intervention aimed at primary school students with and without intellectual disabilities. This program introduces students to basic concepts of pain neuroscience, designed to increase understanding of pain mechanisms and promote healthy pain coping strategies. The intervention was adapted to 'easy reading' format to ensure accessibility for students with intellectual disabilities, and was delivered in both rural and urban school settings in Extremadura, Spain.
