Study Summary

This case-control study in patients with knee osteoarthritis and pain-free control individuals aims to develop a brain biomarker of endogenous analgesia that may be used in subsequent clinical trials. Deficits in central nervous system (CNS) pain inhibition may contribute to chronic pain intensity, but quantitative sensory testing (QST) methods are limited. Incorporating brain imaging to assessments of CNS pain inhibition, by examining activity in relevant brain networks, would allow for an objective, physiologic measure of CNS pain inhibition. Preliminary data in pain-free volunteers implicate cortical activity measured with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) during CNS pain inhibition. Broadly, the investigators hypothesize that variability in CNS pain inhibition contributes to variability in clinical pain intensity.
