Summary

This study aims to evaluate neurofeedback-induced changes in brain function and the correlations between these changes and clinical scores by functional magnetic resonance imaging and electroencephalography in patients with low back pain.

Conditions

  • Low Back Pain
  • Chronic Low Back Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Neurofeedback treatment

20 sessions of neurofeedback of 5 minutes each consisting of : * The patient is equipped with an electroencephalography headset. The feedback visual has the form of a candle flame and is modulated by alpha synchrony. * The height of the flame is proportional to the intensity of the patient's pain. The patient has to concentrate on the height of this flame by thought to modulate it and, at the same time, to decrease the intensity of his own pain.

OTHER

functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans

The patient in alpha synchrony related state and in rating state will undergo an fMRI
