FMRI OF PAIN MODULATION BY COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL STRATEGIES

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 认知行为策略（CBS）被用来帮助慢性疼痛患者控制他们的疼痛水平。这个目标 研究的目的是区分两种不同认知策略的神经相关：外部注意力集中和 重新评估选择这些技术是因为它们涉及不同的行为，因此假设招募不同的 神经网络外部注意力的焦点预计会引起涉及执行功能的领域的活动（例如， 前额叶皮层）。预期重新评估会招募边缘系统结构（例如杏仁核、海马体）。这两种技术 有效减轻疼痛，因此预期对疼痛基质的共同区域产生影响。今年5月， 从而使培训更加有效和高效。

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.
