- Abstract
Introduction: Pain (neuro)science education (PNE) has received increasing research attention demonstrating beneficial effects on pain-related outcomes in adults, whereas studies on the effectiveness of PNE in children are scarce. Methods: This study investigated the effect of a PNE video intervention on pain-related outcomes (i.e., experienced pain intensity, pain-related fear and pain catastrophizing, heat pain threshold, pain knowledge) in 89 healthy children (8-15 years old) undergoing an experimental heat pain task. Furthermore, the moderating role of children's sex, age, baseline pain knowledge and anticipated pain intensity, pain-related fear and pain catastrophizing was examined. Participants were randomized to either an experimental condition wherein children watched a PNE video prior to the experimental pain task, or to a control condition (i.e., no video). Results: Accurate pain knowledge and pain thresholds were higher amongst children in the experimental group compared to the control group. No other main effects of the video intervention were found. Moderation analyses indicated that the video intervention contributed, compared to the control condition, to higher levels of pain knowledge amongst younger children only and to higher pain thresholds amongst boys only. Discussion: Further investigation is needed to optimize PNE video interventions and to determine whether more beneficial outcomes can be found in non-experimental situations and in children with chronic pain. Process evaluation: Published in European Journal of Pain (PMID: 34155720).
