Official title
Investigating Pain Processing in the Brain, Brainstem, and Spinal Cord With fMRI
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
New advances in medical imaging have allowed for the measurement of brain activity related to chronic pain. In addition to the brain, the investigators aim to use functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate pain processing in the brainstem and spinal cord in healthy subjects and chronic neck pain patients. The information gained from this study will increase the investigators understanding of how chronic pain is encoded in the nervous system and assist in developing more effective treatment strategies.
