Course Description:
Orthopedic surgery rates are increasing. Approximately one in four patients experiences
persistent pain and disability after surgery, and postoperative rehabilitation has shown limited
efficacy in easing the pain and disability. Recent research has shown that various pain issues
surrounding orthopedic surgery—central sensitization, fear avoidance, and catastrophizing—play
a significant role in postoperative outcomes. In light of this, a preoperative pain neuroscience
education program was built for knee replacements and shoulder surgery. This course will
showcase the rationale for the program, including the evolution and development of the program.
The course takes participants through the program step-by-step, making it easy for clinical
application. This is ideal for clinicians working with patients struggling with knee and shoulder
pain in the perioperative period.
