Stress and pain interaction study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how stress affects pain sensitivity and how the brain processes pain. It uses MRI scans to see brain activity while participants experience mild pain, which may help improve pain treatments.

This study uses MRI brain scans to look for body “signals” (biomarkers) that may relate to chronic pain, including fibromyalgia. It may help researchers better understand what’s going on in the brain for people with long-term pain.
This study tests if people with fibromyalgia can learn to control their own brain activity using real-time feedback from an MRI machine to reduce pain. It is designed to help those with long-term chronic pain find new ways to manage it.
This study looks at how the brain processes pain sensations in children with certain long-lasting pain conditions. It may help researchers understand what’s happening in the nervous system and guide better treatments.
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called tACS can help reduce chronic low back pain. Participants will have brain scans and receive the treatment over several sessions.
This study looks at MRI images of the lower back to see how body fat, back muscles, and small spine joints relate to long-term back pain. It may help doctors understand back pain better and improve future treatments.
This study looks at how the brain processes pain in people with long-term pain conditions like fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. You may be asked to undergo pain-related tasks to help researchers understand differences between inflammatory and non-inflammatory chronic pain.
