Table 4 Practical implications

From: Use of a gamified website to increase pain neurophysiology knowledge and improve satisfaction and motivation among students studying for a degree in physiotherapy: a quasi-experimental study

Practice points

 • The limited amount of pain-related training in most healthcare grades curricula leads to a significant lack of knowledge

 • The lack of knowledge about the neurophysiology of pain may lead to difficulties in managing patients with chronic pain

 • Our gamified web platform has proven to be a valid teaching–learning method for pain neurophysiology

 • Using a gamified web platform effectively increases the knowledge about the neurophysiology of pain in Physiotherapy students

 • This teaching strategy has also been shown to be effective in increasing our students' motivation and satisfaction
