One of the symptoms related to cancer, which is often difficult to control, is pain. The prevalence of this symptomatology ranges between 20 and 60%. Regarding intervention options, they range from pharmacological modulation to the use of physical means (cold, electrotherapy), as well as the practice of physical exercise as a modulation mechanism. Previous research has established recommendations for the inclusion of educational interventions in palliative care. In this sense, pain neuroscience education (PNE) is a pain modulation strategy that has gained strength in the last decade. However, research is needed to examine its effectiveness in modulating cancer pain. Therefore, we sought to analyze the effectiveness of a neuroscience education program compared to conventional treatment on pain, quality of life, and functional capacity in adults with cancer pain.
