Pain has a detrimental impact on ones quality of life and a significant financial impact on the community. It has recently been revealed that chronic pain is associated with altered brain anatomy and function. Using human brain imaging, we aim to determine the underlying reason for these changes by following individuals during the development of pain. Defining the mechanism underlying pain will aid in the development of better treatment regimens.

疼痛对一个人的生活质量有不利影响，对社区有重大的经济影响。最近发现，慢性疼痛与大脑解剖结构和功能的改变有关。使用人脑成像，我们的目标是通过跟踪疼痛发展过程中的个体来确定这些变化的根本原因。明确疼痛的潜在机制将有助于开发更好的治疗方案。
