Article Synopsis
- - The term "nociplastic pain" describes pain that arises from a sensitized nociceptive system, yet cannot be classified as nociceptive or neuropathic, leading researchers to evaluate a new grading system for distinguishing chronic pain types.
- - The study involved 81 patients with conditions like fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome, osteoarthritis, and peripheral nerve injury, using various methods to classify their pain as nociplastic; results showed that most chronic primary pain was widespread and not due to clear nociceptive or neuropathic mechanisms.
- - Despite the grading system having good specificity (93%) when identifying pain types, its sensitivity was low (60%) and inadequate for screening, indicating a need for improvements,
Continuous real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) neurofeedback is gaining increasing scientific attention in clinical neuroscience and may benefit from the short repetition times of modern multiband echoplanar imaging sequences. However, minimizing feedback delay can result in technical challenges. Here, we report a technical problem we experienced during continuous fMRI neurofeedback with multiband echoplanar imaging and short repetition times.
