FMRI OF PAIN MODULATION BY COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL STRATEGIES

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 认知行为策略(CBS)用于帮助慢性疼痛患者控制他们的疼痛水平。这样做的目的是 这项研究旨在区分两种不同认知策略的神经关联：外部注意焦点和 重新评估。这些技术之所以被选中，是因为它们涉及不同的行为，因此被假设为招募不同的 神经网络。外界关注的焦点预计会引起与执行职能有关的领域的活动(例如 前额叶皮质)。重新评估预计会招募边缘结构(例如杏仁核、海马体)。这两种技术 在减轻疼痛方面是有效的，因此预计将对疼痛基质的共同区域产生影响。这可能是 导致更有成效和效率的培训。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Cognitive behavioral strategies (CBS) are used to help chronic pain patients control their level of pain. The goal of this study is to distinguish the neural correlates of two different cognitive strategies: external focus of attention and reappraisal. These techniques were selected as they involve distinct behaviors and so are hypothesized to recruit distinct neural networks. External focus of attention was expected to evoke activity in areas involved in executive function (e.g. prefrontal cortex). Reappraisal was anticipated to recruit limbic structures (e.g. amygdala, hippocampus). Both techniques are effective in reducing pain and so are anticipated to exert influences on common areas of the pain matrix. n this may lead to more effective and efficient training.
