The effect of fear-avoidance intervention on kinesiophobia and self-efficacy in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention: study protocol for a clinical randomized controlled trial

Kinesiophobia after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may lead to decreased compliance with rehabilitation exercises. Effective interventions are essential to overcome kinesiophobia after PCI. The aim of this trial is to investigate the clinical effects of an intervention based on the fear-avoidance model (FAM) on kinesiophobia in post-PCI patients.
