Key result
Neuroimaging techniques are being explored to identify neural correlates of pain and provide physiological indicators of noxious stimulation to improve pain management strategies.
This review discusses common neuroimaging techniques and findings in the pursuit of identifying neural correlates of pain.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Neuroimaging for pain assessment remains investigational; leaves open validation before any clinical adoption.
The pursuit of a physiological indicator of noxious stimulation is desirable as it has the potential to provide mechanistic information regarding acute pain and may ultimately improve pain management strategies. Currently, there are no specific neurophysiological markers of pain to evaluate treatments. Recent attempts to identify neural correlates of pain have focused on different neuroimaging modalities. The purpose of this review is to discuss common neuroimaging techniques and findings thus far.
