Pain Neuroscience Education

Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) is an approach that helps people understand how pain works in the brain and body. It teaches that pain is not just a simple response to injury but involves complex processes influenced by emotions, thoughts, and past experiences. By grasping how pain is produced and maintained, individuals can change their perspectives on pain, reducing fear and improving coping strategies. This understanding can empower them to manage chronic pain more effectively, leading to better outcomes in their treatment and overall well-being.
