Interested in joining our research study?
Chronic pain impacts one in every five people in the United States. In this study, we are going to use brain imaging technologies to improve our understanding of chronic pain, which could help inform future efforts to develop more effective and personalized treatment strategies for people affected by chronic pain.
Specifically, we are interested in seeing whether baseline measures of brain activity can predict future pain and pain medication use. We hope this information will help us better understand the nature of chronic pain, how it changes over time, and how this can influence pain medication use.
This study consists of:
- An initial visit lasting about 3 hours where you will complete questionnaires, play games, and undergo a clinical interview. Compensation: $45.
- One brain scan lasting 2.5-3 hours where you will play games while inside an MRI machine. Compensation for the scan: Between $40 - $80 depending on your performance in the games.
- Monthly follow-up surveys for 6 months following your scan. Compensation for completing all follow ups: $150.
You will also have the option of receiving two printed copies of your brain scans (one in black and white, one in color) after completing your follow-up surveys.
