Decoding Chronic Pain With fMRI

NCT01766973 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 76

Summary

Recent evidence suggests that chronic pain is associated with abnormal connectivity between brain regions associated with the processing of pain. We aim to test the diagnostic power of resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to diagnose patients with chronic back pain. Using new methods of image acquisition and analysis we aim to develop a computational method to correctly classify patients and matched control subjects.
