Abstract

Many chronic low back pain (cLBP) cases show no skeletal pathology. Because of this, investigation of brain structure and function can give insights into the mechanisms underlying the chronic pain. Our group has previously found that patients can be trained to control activation of localized brain regions by using feedback derived from real-time functional MRI.1 Further, control of activation in the rostral anterior cingulate cortex region can change perception of pain and may provide a clinical approach to treatment of severe pain associated with cLBP.
