Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Acidic phosphate buffer solution
pH5.2 phosphate buffer solution
|
Phosphate-buffered saline (abbreviated PBS) is a buffer solution commonly used in biological research.
It is a water-based salt solution containing disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate.
The buffer helps to maintain a constant pH.
The osmolarity and ion concentrations of the solutions match those of the human body (isotonic).

Placebo Comparator: Neutral phosphate buffer solution
pH7.4 phosphate buffer solution

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Brain functional magnetic resonance imaging
Time Frame: The whole procedures will be done within 50 minutes. Before the injection, the subject will receive anatomical MRI scan (10 minutes) and baseline fMRI scan (10 minutes) After that, the acid or pH 7.4 PBS will be given into the midpoint of the left tibial
|
All images will be acquired on a 3 Tesla MRI system (MAGNETOM Prisma, Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) with a 20-channel head coil.
To obtain an anatomical reference, high-resolution T1-weighted imaging was performed using a 3D magnetization-prepared rapid gradient echo (MPRAGE) sequence: repetition time (TR)/echo time (TE) = 2000 ms/3 ms, flip angle = 9°, field of view (FOV) = 256 × 192 × 208 mm3, acquisition matrix = 256 × 192 × 208, resulting in isotropic spatial resolution of 1 mm3.
The task fMRI will be performed using an echo planar imaging (EPI) sequence with a twice-refocused balanced echo.
The imaging parameters are: TR/TE = 2000/20 ms, slice thickness = 3.5 mm, 80 × 80 acquisition matrix, FOV = 200 × 200 mm, and in-plane spatial resolution = 3.0 mm x 3.0 mm.

The whole procedures will be done within 50 minutes. Before the injection, the subject will receive anatomical MRI scan (10 minutes) and baseline fMRI scan (10 minutes) After that, the acid or pH 7.4 PBS will be given into the midpoint of the left tibial

The visual analog scale (VAS) of "sng" in the legs
Time Frame: Through fMRI completion an average of 6 months
|
The subject will be asked for sng VAS before infusion and immediately after infusion. Scale range 0 to 10 (1)0: No Sng (2)1-3: Mild Sng (3)4-6: Moderate Sng (4)7-9: Severe Sng (5)10: Worst Sng imaginable |
Through fMRI completion an average of 6 months
|
Muscle pressure pain threshold
Time Frame: Through fMRI completion an average of 1 week

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
36-Item Short Form Health Survey (RAND)
Time Frame: Up to 6 months before signing the informed consent form
|
Investigator will evaluate the subject life quality and activity of daily life by 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (RAND) Consists of eight scaled scores, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section.
Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale on the assumption that each question carries equal weight.
The lower the score the more disability.
The higher the score the less disability i.e., a score of zero is equivalent to maximum disability and a score of 100 is equivalent to no disability.
|
Up to 6 months before signing the informed consent form
|
Oswestry disability index
Time Frame: Up to 6 months before signing the informed consent form
|
Investigator will evaluate the subject activity of daily life by Oswestry disability index The scores for all questions answered are summed, then multiplied by two to obtain the index (range 0 to 100) (1)0 -20: Minimal disability (2)21-40: Moderate Disability (3)41-60: Severe Disability (4)61-80: Crippling back pain (5)81-100: These patients are either bed-bound or have an exaggeration of their symptoms

Up to 6 months before signing the informed consent form
|
The visual analog scale (VAS) of "sng" in the back
Time Frame: Through fMRI completion an average of 6 months
|
The subject will be asked for sng VAS before infusion and immediately after infusion. Scale range 0 to 10 (1)0: No Sng (2)1-3: Mild Sng (3)4-6: Moderate Sng (4)7-9: Severe Sng (5)10: Worst Sng imaginable |
Through fMRI completion an average of 6 months
|
The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale
Time Frame: Up to 6 months before signing the informed consent form
|
Is a 14-item measure designed to assess anxiety and depression symptoms in subjects, with emphasis on reducing the impact of physical illness. Total score (Depression、Anxiety): (1)0-7 Normal (2)8-10 Borderline abnormal (borderline case) (3)11-21 Abnormal (case) |
Up to 6 months before signing the informed consent form
|
Edinburgh Handedness Inventory
Time Frame: Up to 6 months before signing the informed consent form
|
Is a measurement scale used to assess the dominance of a person's right or left hand in everyday activities, sometimes referred to as laterality. The inventory can be used by an observer assessing the person. Handedness score is calculated using this formula: 100*((Right - Left) / (Right + Left)).
