Study Summary
New advances in medical imaging have allowed for the measurement of brain activity related to chronic pain. In addition to the brain, the investigators aim to use functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate pain processing in the brainstem and spinal cord in healthy subjects and chronic neck pain patients. The information gained from this study will increase the investigators understanding of how chronic pain is encoded in the nervous system and assist in developing more effective treatment strategies.
Primary Outcome
Use functional magnetic resonance imaging to characterize brain, brainstem, and spinal cord pain processing in healthy subjects (thermal pain) and chronic neck pain patients (thermal pain and spontaneous clinical pain).
Interventions
- OTHER Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
