MR(Magnetic Resonance) Imaging of Neurotransmitters in Chronic Pain

31. maj 2018 opdateret af: University of Michigan

MR (Magnetic Resonance) Imaging of the Excitatory and Inhibitory Neurotransmitters in Chronic Pain

This study is designed to assess:

Hypothesis #1: That there is a significant central pain component in a distinct subset of patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis(KOA), Chronic low back pain(CLBP), painful diabetic neuropathy(PDN.)

Hypothesis # 2: To establish a reliable strategy for differentiation of central pain predominant from peripheral pain predominant knee osteoarthritis(KOA), chronic low back pain(CLBP)and peripheral diabetic neuropathy(PDN) patients using clinical features, experimental pain testing and magnetic resonance(MR) Spectroscopy.

Studieoversigt

Detaljeret beskrivelse

This study will identify clinical and neuroimaging markers in chronic pain in an effort to provide individual-based treatments. This study will differentiate chronic pain subjects (knee osteoarthritis, low back pain and painful diabetic neuropathy) into two groups: those who have central pain predominant symptoms and those who have peripheral pain predominant symptoms. The response to medical treatment between these two groups is quite different, thus a reliable strategy to correctly categorize chronic pain sufferers offers the opportunity to provide targeted, effective treatments. Chronic pain is a prevalent problem in the VA veteran population with significant associated costs; in particular knee osteoarthritis, chronic low back pain and painful diabetic neuropathy are common in this population. The proposed study will use different clinical pain tests and advanced neuroimaging techniques to improve our understanding of chronic pain and improve patient outcomes.

Våben og indgreb

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Knee osteoarthritis (MRI, surveys, pain testing)
Subjects previously diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis will have an MRI with imaging that measures brain metabolites. There are surveys to complete and a session of pain tolerance testing.
Subjects will have an MRI scan to view specific images, and brain activity patterns thought to be affected in patients with KOA, chronic low back pain and diabetic patients with painful neuropathy. Healthy volunteers will undergo the same MRI scan that lasts about 90 min.
There will be a 1-1.5 hour session including pain tolerance testing.
Aktiv komparator: Healthy controls (MRI, surveys,pain testing)
Healthy volunteers will have an MRI with imaging that measures brain metabolites. There are surveys to complete and a session of pain tolerance testing.
Subjects will have an MRI scan to view specific images, and brain activity patterns thought to be affected in patients with KOA, chronic low back pain and diabetic patients with painful neuropathy. Healthy volunteers will undergo the same MRI scan that lasts about 90 min.
There will be a 1-1.5 hour session including pain tolerance testing.
Eksperimentel: diabetic peripheral neuropathy
Subjects previously diagnosed with diabetic peripheral neuropathy will have an MRI with imaging that measures brain metabolites. There are surveys to complete and a session of pain tolerance testing.
Subjects will have an MRI scan to view specific images, and brain activity patterns thought to be affected in patients with KOA, chronic low back pain and diabetic patients with painful neuropathy. Healthy volunteers will undergo the same MRI scan that lasts about 90 min.
There will be a 1-1.5 hour session including pain tolerance testing.
Eksperimentel: chronic low back pain
Subjects previously diagnosed with chronic low back pain will have an MRI with imaging that measures brain metabolites. There are surveys to complete and a session of pain tolerance testing.
Subjects will have an MRI scan to view specific images, and brain activity patterns thought to be affected in patients with KOA, chronic low back pain and diabetic patients with painful neuropathy. Healthy volunteers will undergo the same MRI scan that lasts about 90 min.
There will be a 1-1.5 hour session including pain tolerance testing.
