Summary

To determine the effects of Pain Neuroscience Education in Diabetic Neuropathy

Detailed description

Pain neuroscience education (PNE) has shown to have immediate effects on various clinical signs and symptoms associated with central sensitization. Using a model of (innocuous, noxious and allodynia) PNE can be used in combination with exercise therapy, especially treating patients in which the nervous system has become increasingly hypervigilant. Teaching patients about the neuroscience of pain and lead to healthier and more positive attitudes and beliefs regarding chronic pain.
