Summary

The goal of this observational study is to better understand the role of the brain in chronic low back pain patients.

Detailed description

Chronic pain affects millions of people worldwide, and the main cardinal sign of any arthritis condition is pain. Several arthritis conditions can cause chronic low back pain (CLBP).The mechanisms that contribute to CLBP are not yet fully understood, but considering the role of the brain in the context of chronic pain, it is only logical to investigate structural and functional brain properties in CLBP, in order to improve diagnosis and treatment of this condition.

Conditions

• Chronic Low-back Pain
