Applications of Realtime fMRI Phase II

The goal of this research program is to determine the potential effectiveness of real-time
fMRI training in improving mental control over pain.

A research study that looks at pain and how you experience pain. This research project aims
to use virtual reality-based real-time functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rtfMRI) to
assess brain activation during the experience of pain and while subjects attempt to mentally
control their pain response.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Age 18-65

- Chronic Pain patient or healthy control

- Ability to perform the experimental task

Exclusion Criteria:

- MRI contraindication (metal implants, claustrophobia, pregnant or planning to become
pregnant)

- History of psychiatric disorder (at the discretion of the investigator as to whether
it interferes with the experimental task)
