Course Description:
Lumbar surgery is very prevalent and ever increasing. It is currently reported that one in four
patients still experiences pain and disability after lumbar surgery. This course will showcase how
a pain neuroscience program was developed, tested, and validated for patients undergoing
lumbar surgery. Immediate post-education showed favorable changes to fear avoidance, pain
catastrophizing, and beliefs and expectations regarding surgery. Long-term results showed a
positive influence on surgical experience and healthcare utilization after surgery. Additionally,
this course will also showcase a live patient session showing the delivery of the preoperative
pain neuroscience education program. This course is suited for clinicians working with patients
undergoing lumbar surgery—both pre- and postoperatively.
