Functional Brain Imaging of Pain Phenotype and Genotype
2018年5月1日 更新者:Jim Ibinson、University of Pittsburgh
Brain Imaging of Pain Phenotype and Genotype With Novel Scanning Techniques
This study has two purposes: first, to locate and identify the "brain activation" (the areas of the brain) which respond to pain; and second, to look at how brain activation is influenced by a person's genetics (the traits they inherited from their parents).
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner will be used to gather pictures of the brain (similar to an x-ray, but based on different scientific principles) that will be used to determine which areas are active.
The hypothesis is that the variation in brain activity between people can be partially explained by genetic differences.
This study consists of an two pain tasks applied during a one time visit to the MRI suite.
There are no followup visits.

This is a basic science study determining the brain activation that results from painful stimulation.
All subjects will have the same painful stimulations and brain images collected.

主要结果指标

措施说明 |
大体时间 |
---|---|---|
Areas of brain activity from a transcutaneous painful stimulation
大体时间:At the conclusion of the 1 hour scanning session; Visit one
|
A nerve stimulator will be turned on at the level that causes you to report 7/10 pain for 30 seconds, followed by a 30 second period of rest.
This will be repeated four times.
The areas of brain activity are determined at the end of the 1 hour scanning session by analyzing the brain images.
There are no additional followup or long term outcomes.

Areas of brain activity from a 45 minutes Capsaicin cream application
大体时间:At the conclusion of the 1 hour scanning session; Visit 1
|
The painful stimulation will now be caused by placing a piece of gauze soaked with capsaicin, the active ingredients in chili peppers, on the subject's right arm.
The areas of brain activity are determined at the end of the 1 hour scanning session by analyzing the brain images.
There are no additional followup or long term outcomes.
