Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

Shoulder pain is the third most common cause of musculoskeletal consultation in primary care, with prevalence rates varying from 6.9% to 26% for point prevalence and up to 66.7% for lifetime prevalence in the general population Despite medical and physiotherapy treatment, a large patient group reports persisting shoulder pain. The treatment of patients with chronic pain can be complex and challenging. This chronic pain is associated with increased medical costs, decrease income and huge economic burden and it also has a negative impact on the patient’s quality of life. The purpose of this study is to find the effect of Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) and Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) on pain, function and quality of life in patients with chronic shoulder.

Results showed significant improvement in pre and post intervention in within group  (intra-group) analysis of PNE group and GMI group for all the variables. But it did not show any significant results in pre and post intervention of conventional group for pain intensity at rest, kinesiophobia and physical and mental component summary of quality of life.

For between group (inter-group) analysis,a significant difference was seen between all the three groups when compared with each other. Hence, to find out which group is more significant post hoc analysis was done where during pairwise comparison, it was found that conventional group and GMI group showed significant results in all the variables. Conventional group and PNE group also showed significant results in all variables except for external rotation component. Also, when compared between PNE group and GMI group it did not show any significant results with each other.

Thus, we concluded that pain neuroscience education (PNE) and graded motor imagery (GMI) can be an effective intervention which can be used for the treatment of patients with chronic shoulder pain and provides a strong evidence in reducing pain, pain catastrophization, kinesiophobia and improves functions thereby improving quality of life.
