Investigating Brain Structure and Functional Alterations in the Transition from Acute to Chronic Neck Pain: A Resting-State fMRI Study by Gao Z, Cui MJ, Wang HJ, Zhang J, Xu C, Ji LX

“…Low-frequency amplitude measures revealed decreased activity in the left dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus and left postcentral gyrus, among other areas, and increased activity in the right middle frontal gyrus and the opercular part of the right inferior frontal gyrus.Conclusion: Our findings indicate that dysfunction and structural changes in the limbic system and prefrontal cortex may play a pivotal role in the progression from acute to chronic neck pain. These insights provide a significant new direction for understanding the central mechanisms underlying pain chronicity.Keywords: functional magnetic resonance imaging, amplitude of low frequency fluctuation, cortical thickness, neck pain, acute pain, chronic pain…”
