Preoperative Pain Neuroscience Education Combined With Knee Joint Mobilization for Knee Osteoarthritis

Abstract

Preoperative PNE combined with knee joint mobilization did not produce any additional benefits over time for knee pain and disability, and CS measures compared with biomedical education with knee joint mobilization. Superior effects in the PNE with knee joint mobilization group were only observed for psychosocial variables related to pain catastrophizing and kinesiophobia.
