Orexin neurons play contrasting roles in itch and pain neural processing via projecting to the periaqueductal gray.

Pain and itch are recognized as antagonistically regulated sensations; pain suppresses itch, whilst pain inhibition enhances itch. The neural mechanisms at the central nervous system (CNS) underlying these pain-itch interactions […]

Quantitative sensory testing in a magnetic resonance environment: considerations for thermal sensitivity and patient safety.

Quantitative sensory testing (QST) is often used to understand the perceptual basis of acute and chronic conditions, including pain. As the need grows for developing a mechanistic understanding of neurological […]

A state-of-the-art review of functional magnetic resonance imaging technique integrated with advanced statistical modeling and machine learning for primary headache diagnosis.

Primary headache is a very common and burdensome functional headache worldwide, which can be classified as migraine, tension-type headache (TTH), trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia (TAC), and other primary headaches. Managing and […]

Large-scale momentary brain co-activation patterns are associated with hyperalgesia and mediate focal neurochemistry and cross-network functional connectivity in fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia has been characterized by augmented cross-network functional communication between the brain’s sensorimotor, default mode, and attentional (salience/ventral and dorsal) networks. However, the underlying mechanisms of these aberrant communication patterns […]

Evaluation of trans- and cis-4-[18F]fluorogabapentin for brain PET imaging.

Gabapentin, a selective ligand for the α2δ subunit of voltage-dependent calcium channels, is an anticonvulsant medication used in the treatment of neuropathic pain, focal epilepsy and other neurological conditions. We […]

A Randomized, Controlled Neuroimaging Trial of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Fibromyalgia Pain.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is characterized by pervasive pain-related symptomatology and high levels of negative affect. Mind-body treatments such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) appear to foster improvement in FM via reductions in […]

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) of multifidus muscle metabolites in chronic low back pain (CLBP).

The purpose of the study was to investigate several potential imaging biomarkers of CLBP that may be useful for diagnosis and treatment efficacy evaluation. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-MRS) was […]

Abnormal preoperative fMRI signal variability in the pain ascending pathway is associated with the postoperative axial pain intensity in degenerative cervical myelopathy patients.

The moment-to-moment variability of resting-state brain activity has been suggested to play an active role in chronic pain.

White matter microstructural alterations in patients with neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury: a diffusion tensor imaging study.

Through contrastive analysis, we aimed to identify the white matter brain regions that show microstructural changes in patients with neuropathic pain (NP) after spinal cord injury (SCI).
