|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deguchi, N et al. [34] | NRS | Without significant changes in the groups IG: Pain at rest pre 2.0 (2.6) post 1.1 (1.3) CG: pain at rest pre 1.9 (2.3) post 0.8 (1.2) |
PCS | Significant effects in favor of PNE IG: pre 30.3 (6.5) post 16.9 (9.7) CG: pre 30.8 (7.7) post 20.7 (8.4) |
PSEQ | No significant changes between the groups IG: pre 37.6 (10.6) post 43.4 (10.2) CG: pre 36.3 (11.1) post 38.7 (12.8) |

| Louw, A et al. [35] | NRS | Significant improvement in both groups. There was a difference attributable to time (p < 0.001) with improvements in all patients. | PCS | No significant differences between the groups F (3192) = 0.209, p = 0.819, power = 0.083. (p = 0.075), yes, difference in time (p < 0.001) |
Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia | There were no significant differences between the groups F (3192) = 1.402, p = 0.245, power = 0.358 (p = 0.247) |
WOMAC | There were no significant differences in the groups F (3195) = 1.501, p = 0.222, power = 0.355 |

| Louw, A et al. [36] | NRS | There were no significant differences between the pre- and post-intervention measures. pre PNE 5.0 IQR = 2.3–6.8 Range (0.0–8.0) post PNE 3.5 IQR = 1.0–5.0 Range (0.0–7.0) p = 0.119 |
PCS | There were no significant differences between the measures. pre 3.3–27.8 (1.0–51.0) post 7.0 IQR = 3.3–15.8 Range (0.0–36.0) p = 0.081 |
Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia | A difference in favor of the PNE post intervention. pre 42.0 IQR = 38.5–44.0 Range (31.0–54.0) post 39.0 IQR = 36.0–42.5 Range (31.0–46.0) p = 0.036 |
