Brief Summary:
There is lack of structured pain neuroscience education in patients with lumber radiculopathy. Previously researches were done on pain neuroscience education before surgery of lumber radiculopathy. However this study will provide structured educational plan about pain neuroscience education along with therapeutic exercises to positively influence pain knowledge, dysfunction, and fear avoidance, limitation in movement and healthcare utilization in patients who have diagnosed with lumbar radiculopathy and don't want to undergo surgery.
Detailed Description:
Radicular pain or radiculopathy, defined as spinal nerve root dysfunction causing dermatomal discomfort and paresthesia's, myotome weakness, and/or reduced deep tendon reflexes, is frequently associated with axial spine pain. It affects both men and women and is believed to impact 3 to 5 percent of the population. Radiculopathy is pain that radiates down the legs and is described as electric, burning, and acute pain. Radiculopathy is most caused by irritation of a specific nerve, which can occur anywhere along the nerve and is most often caused by a compressive force. It could be caused by bulging or herniated discs, facet or ligamentous hypertrophy, spondylolisthesis, or even neoplastic or infectious diseases.
LR is the second leading cause of disability according to a research published by Global Burden of Disease (GBD).Pain neuroscience education (PNE), also known as therapeutic neuroscience education (TNE), is a series of instructional sessions for patients that cover the neurobiology and neurophysiology of pain, as well as how the nervous system processes pain. PNE alters the way a patient perceives pain at first. For example, a patient may have assumed that damaged tissues were the source of their pain; yet, after learning more about pain neurophysiology, the patient realises that pain may not accurately reflect tissue health and instead be caused by extra-sensitive nerves.
