The chronic pain brain: structural white and gray matter correlates of impaired muscle control and deficient pain processing
The present research project we will use objective and sophisticated measures of pain processing, muscle control and brain structure to examine whether structural brain alterations are associated with impaired muscle control and dysfunctional pain processing, and are related to the recurrence and/or persistence of pain in musculoskeletal discorders such as low back pain and fibromyalgia.
