Changes in Clinical Status after Completion of an Interdisciplinary Pain Management Programme Incorporating Pain Neurophysiology Education.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to observe the clinical outcomes of people who completed a 6-week outpatient interdisciplinary pain management programme and to determine whether a change in pain knowledge predicts these clinical outcomes (pain interference, pain severity, depression, and opioid intake). Method: A single-group, pretest-posttest analysis was conducted on data from 102 participants; five t-tests and three hierarchical multiple regressions were carried out. Results: Participants experienced significant improvements in pain knowledge, pain interference, pain severity, depression, and opioid intake between intake assessment and discharge, but change in pain knowledge did not significantly predict any clinical outcomes. Conclusions: This study provides valuable evidence to inform interdisciplinary pain management. Knowledge of pain neurophysiology, despite its potential contribution to positive clinical outcomes, did not predict clinical success. Psychosocial factors are proposed as a candidate for effectiveness of the pain neurophysiology education classes.
