Brain perfusion abnormality in patients with chronic pain.
We performed single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) of the brain in 15 patients with chronic pain (males, 7; females, 8; average age 49.1 +/- 17.9 years) and identified the locus of cerebral blood flow reduction by a new analytical method (easy Z-score Imaging System: eZIS) to clarify the functional neuroanatomical basis of chronic pain. Of the 15 patients, 6 had backache, 2 neck pa...
متن کاملBrain Wave Patterns in Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain: A Case-Control Study
Introduction: Research evidence indicates that maladaptive reorganization of the brain plays a critical role in amplifying pain experiences and pain chronification; there is, however, no clear evidence of change in brain wave activity among patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). The objective of this study was to assess brain wave activity in patients with CLBP, compared to healthy control...
متن کاملAbnormality of spontaneous brain activities in patients with chronic neck and shoulder pain: A resting-state fMRI study
Objectives Chronic gneck and shoulder pain (CNSP) is a common clinical symptom of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. Several studies using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) have reported that most chronic pain diseases are accompanied by structural and functional changes in the brain. However, few rs-fMRI studies have examined CNSP. The current study investigated ce...
متن کاملBrain morphological alternation in chronic pain patients with neuropathic characteristics
BACKGROUND Neuropathic characteristics are highly involved in the development of chronic pain both physically and psychologically. However, little is known about the relationship between neuropathic characteristics and brain morphological alteration. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanisms of chronic pain development by examining the above-mentioned relationships by ...
متن کاملAltered regional brain morphology in patients with chronic facial pain.
BACKGROUND Persistent idiopathic facial pain (PIFP) is defined as a persistent, unilateral facial pain, not associated with sensory loss or other physical signs and with no obvious structural abnormalities that would sufficiently explain pain experience. OBJECTIVE We were interested whether there is evidence of altered brain morphology in patients with PIFP as it has been described in other c...
