Clbp Case Studies

During the exercises, cLBP patients were asked intermittently to rating their level of pain using the 0–100 pain scale; the maneuvers were repeated until subjects reported an increase in pain of approximately 30 points on the pain scale. Once this level of pain was achieved, subjects were placed back in the scanner to repeat the same MRI resting scans that were acquired before the exercise maneuvers. For healthy controls, structural and resting state scans were only collected once.
