Abstract
Introduction: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is one of the most common medical problems that is a combination of pain neuroscience education (PNE) and motor control exercises (MCE). The aim of this review study is to investigate and analyze the effectiveness of the combination of PNE and MCE on people with chronic low back pain.
Methods: The literature search included articles published from 2015 to 2025, which were used in the databases PubMed, Google scholar, Scopus, Pro Quest. Keywords included (randomized controlled clinical trial, pain neuroscience education, chronic low back pain, motor control exercises) and (randomized controlled trial, pain neuroscience education, pain education, pain physiology education, PNE, motor control exercise, MCE, back pain, chronic non-specific low back pain,). PEDro was used to assess the quality of the included articles.
Results: Of the 8 articles found, 5 articles were included in the study. These studies mainly studied the effect of PNE in combination with MCE, which was positive. These two interventions were recorded on these subjects in these studies.
Conclusion: The combination of PNE and MCE is for patients with chronic low back pain and helps reduce pain, disability, and fear-avoidance beliefs. PNE improves pain mechanisms and also MCE by strengthening muscle strength and coordination, can increase daily activities and reduce pain-related disability.
