Study Summary
The proposed study will examine how intensive interdisciplinary pain treatment (IIPT, specifically the Rehabilitation for Amplified Pain Syndrome, or RAPS, program at Children's Mercy Hospital) impacts neurofunctional mechanisms of emotional and physical pain processing in patients. There has been recent interest in characterizing the brain regions responsible for processing pain (Wager et al., 2013), but little research has included youth. A better understanding of the physiological mechanisms of pain can lead to better treatment outcomes.
Primary Outcome
Participants will undergo scanning without intravenous contrast, performed with a 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. Structural scan will be completed for spatial normalization and registration with the functional data. Functional scans use blood-oxygen level dependent (BOLD) assessments during active tasks to determine regional brain activation while viewing pictures and experiencing somatosensory stimulation.
