Applying Pain Neuroscience Education in
Neurorehabilitation: Theory to Practice

Description

*This webinar is scheduled for 7:00 PM EDT / 4:00 PM PDT

You understand that pain is shaping your patient’s recovery. Now, how do you actually talk about it, teach it, and build it into your treatment?

Part 2 of this two-part series moves from foundational concepts into clinical application, equipping you with concrete strategies for delivering pain neuroscience education (PNE) in neurorehabilitation contexts. You’ll learn how to select effective metaphors, address fear-avoidant behaviors, adapt communication for patients with cognitive or language impairments, and meaningfully involve caregivers in the process. The webinar also covers how to integrate PNE with exercise, sleep, goal setting, and interdisciplinary care so pain education doesn’t exist in isolation but strengthens everything else you’re already doing.

Whether you’re new to PNE or looking to refine your approach for a neurological population, this webinar delivers the practical guidance that’s been missing from most clinical training.

This webinar is designed for physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, rehabilitation nurses, psychologists, physicians, and other rehabilitation professionals working across inpatient, outpatient, home health, and community-based neurological settings.

Learning Objectives

• Distinguish pain neuroscience education (PNE) from other pain management approaches by analyzing its principles, goals, common misconceptions, and role within neurorehabilitation for improving pain beliefs, self-efficacy, and participation.
• Apply evidence-informed strategies to deliver pain neuroscience education in neurological rehabilitation by selecting appropriate communication techniques, metaphors, therapeutic alliance strategies, and patient-centered teaching methods.
• Modify pain neuroscience education approaches for individuals with neurological conditions by adapting interventions for cognitive, communication, fatigue-related, and diagnosis-specific barriers while integrating caregivers and interdisciplinary team members into care planning.
• Integrate pain neuroscience education into interdisciplinary neurological rehabilitation by connecting PNE principles with exercise, sleep optimization, goal setting, and collaborative care planning to improve functional outcomes and self-management
