Pain Science Education (PSE) has been shown to reduce pain and disability in chronic low back pain (CLBP), a prevalent and disabling condition. PSE helps reconceptualize pain using aids like pictures, metaphors, and stories, and supports pain self-management. Due to variations in pain beliefs across different cultures, the PSE resources need to be customized to accommodate respective literacy levels, cultures and languages.
