Neuroimaging of Pain
(2023) p.407-431- Abstract
The underlying mechanisms of many pain conditions are not known and many conditions have no effective treatment. Modern dynamic neuroimaging has increased the understanding of altered nervous system (CNS) processing in multiple pain conditions. This chapter describes the potential and the limitations of functional neuroimaging in the evaluation and treatment of clinical pain syndromes. It considers the wide range of neuroimaging methods (positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy, diffusion weighted, and diffusion tensor imaging) for common clinical conditions such as low back pain and the use of these methods...

The underlying mechanisms of many pain conditions are not known and many conditions have no effective treatment. Modern dynamic neuroimaging has increased the understanding of altered nervous system (CNS) processing in multiple pain conditions. This chapter describes the potential and the limitations of functional neuroimaging in the evaluation and treatment of clinical pain syndromes. It considers the wide range of neuroimaging methods (positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy, diffusion weighted, and diffusion tensor imaging) for common clinical conditions such as low back pain and the use of these methods in a group of pain conditions that include temporomandibular disorder, irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and vulvodynia. While technically not a pain syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome is included due to extensive symptom overlap with these conditions.
