Chronic Back Pain Is Associated with Decreased Prefrontal and Thalamic Gray Matter Density
A. Vania Apkarian,Yamaya Sosa,Sreepadma P. Sonty,Robert M. Levy,R. Norman Harden,Todd B. Parrish,Darren R. Gitelman +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, brain morphology of 26 chronic back pain patients to matched control subjects was compared using magnetic resonance imaging brain scan data and automated analysis techniques, using voxel-based morphometry and nonparametric statistics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proposed new diagnostic criteria for complex regional pain syndrome.
TL;DR: Results of validation studies to date suggest that the IASP/CRPS diagnostic criteria are adequately sensitive; however, both internal and external validation research suggests that utilization of these criteria causes problems of overdiagnosis due to poor specificity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic Pain and the Emotional Brain: Specific Brain Activity Associated with Spontaneous Fluctuations of Intensity of Chronic Back Pain
Marwan N. Baliki,Dante R. Chialvo,Paul Geha,Robert M. Levy,R. Norman Harden,Todd B. Parrish,A. Vania Apkarian +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that subjective spontaneous pain of CBP involves specific spatiotemporal neuronal mechanisms, distinct from those observed for acute experimental pain, implicating a salient role for emotional brain concerning the self.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting total knee replacement pain: a prospective, observational study.
Victoria A. Brander,S. David Stulberg,S. David Stulberg,Angela Adams,R. Norman Harden,Stephen Bruehl,Steven P. Stanos,Timothy T. Houle +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a prospective, observational study assessing clinical and radiographic variables preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after total knee arthroplasty was conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI

A. Vania Apkarian,Yamaya Sosa,Beth R. Krauss,P.Sebastian Thomas,Bruce E. Fredrickson,Robert E. Levy,R. Norman Harden,Dante R. Chialvo +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence indicates that chronic pain is associated with a specific cognitive deficit, which may impact everyday behavior especially in risky, emotionally laden, situations.
