Evaluation of Neuropathic Pain in the Context of Clinical Symptoms, Quantitative Sensory Tests and Imaging With FMRI

NCT03890315 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 40

Last updated 2020-04-30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study is planned to evaluate patients with upper extremity neuropathic pain due to cervical radiculopathy with clinical symptoms, Quantitative Sensory Testing(QST) and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging(fMRI). Patients with similar charactheristics will be grouped and comparisons will be conducted in fMRI results, as well as QST.

Conditions

  • Neuropathic Pain
  • Radiculopathy, Cervical

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Functional MRI

In fMRI, patients will first be taking a resting state phase in case of activations. In the block design phase, they will be given tactile stimuli in affected extremity, and then healthy extremity in 3 blocks, followed by pauses. Primary and secondary sensorial cortex, insular cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, preforntal cortex and amygdala activation will be chosen as regions of interest, and their activation will be recorded for analyses.
