Efficacy of Pain Science Education Combined With Exercise in Older Adults With Chronic Pain

This study is part of a project called PReGe, which aims to help older adults age actively and healthily through preventive physiotherapy. The goal is to determine whether a combination of adapted exercise and education about how pain works can help improve the lives of those who suffer from it. The study is supported by the City Council of Salamanca and the Faculty of Nursing and Physiotherapy, and it is carried out in collaboration with the Doctoral Program in Health, Disability, Dependency, and Well-being at the University of Salamanca. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a program that combines physical exercise with educational sessions about pain is more effective for adults over 65 years of age with chronic pain, compared to doing exercise alone. The study aims to find out whether this program improves pain, understanding of pain, mobility, quality of life and Quantitative Electroencephalography (qEEG). This is a medical research study involving participants aged 65 years or older who have experienced pain for more than three months, with an intensity of at least 3 on a 0-to-10 scale. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups, each following a different type of program: Group 1 (Control Group): will perform only adapted physical exercis…
