Summary
This pilot trial aimed to estimate preliminary clinical effects and to assess the feasibility of adding group-based pain neuroscience education (PNE) to exercise in women aged ≥60 years with medically diagnosed knee osteoarthritis and current knee pain. Participants were randomized to either 10 weeks of community-based exercise plus PNE or exercise alone. All participants attended weekly group exercise sessions, and those in the intervention group also participated in five in-person group-based PNE sessions lasting 30 minutes each. Physical fitness tests were administered, and participants completed questionnaires assessing disability, pain intensity, and pain neurophysiology knowledge.
