It affects more than 300 million people worldwide, who suffer from pain and physical disability. Objective: To determine the results of cognitive educational interventions for pain management and psychosocial variables in adults with OA. Method: A systematic review was conducted based on searches in MEDLINE, OVID, LILACS, Scopus, PEDro, OTseeker, The Cochrane Library, EBSCO, and Google Scholar. The search strategy included the main terms neuroscience education and osteoarthritis, without any re-strictions with regard to dates or study type (PROSPERO register CRD42021222763). Results: We included four articles that implemented the intervention in 1\u20136 sessions, addressing concepts related to goal orientation and providing strategies for understanding pain. The results suggest that there is an improvement between the groups (PNE) when compared, but this cannot necessarily be attributed to pain neuroscience education (PNE), as small effect sizes for variables such as pain catastrophizing and kinesiophobia were observed. The response in the modulation of acute pain following the surgical procedure may produce a variation in the responses and this may be mediated by medications. Conclusion: The study revealed an improvement in favor of the groups managed with PNE, although more studies documenting the topic are warranted.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19052559","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,23]],"date-time":"2022-02-23T09:34:38Z","timestamp":1645608878000},"page":"2559","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Effectiveness of Interventions Based on Pain Neuroscience Education on Pain and Psychosocial Variables for Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8365-8155","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leidy Tatiana","family":"Ordo\u00f1ez-Mora","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health and Movement Research Group, Physiotherapy Program, Faculty of Health, Universidad Santiago de Cali, Santiago de Cali 760033, Colombia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marco Antonio","family":"Morales-Osorio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo Internacional de Investigaci\u00f3n Neuro-Conductual (GIINCO), Universidad de la Costa, Barranquilla 080002, Colombia"},{"name":"Facultad de Salud, Carrera de Kinesiolog\u00eda, Universidad Santo Tom\u00e1s, Arica 1000000, Chile"},{"name":"Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud, Carrera de Kinesiolog\u00eda, Universidad Arturo Prat, Iquique 1100000, Chile"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ilem D.","family":"Rosero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health and Movement Research Group, Physiotherapy Program, Faculty of Health, Universidad Santiago de Cali, Santiago de Cali 760033, Colombia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"819","DOI":"10.1136\/annrheumdis-2019-216515","article-title":"Global, regional and national burden of osteoarthritis 1990\u20132017: A systematic analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017","volume":"79","author":"Safiri","year":"2020","journal-title":"Ann.
