Multi-modal Imaging of Myofascial Pain

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this study is to develop new imaging biomarkers for quantitative assessments of myofascial pain.

Clinical Trial Description

This study aims to develop a multi-modal, multi-parametric, multi-scale imaging of the human myofascial unit by combining magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), surface electromyography (sEMG), and fiber-optic imaging and sensing. Participants (half with active neck/shoulder/back pain, and half healthy controls) will be recruited from pain management clinics and Volunteer for Health, or will be referred by Dr. Xioabin Yi. They will undergo all three imaging techniques and complete a number of patient questionnaires over the course of a single study visit. The study team will then identify candidate biomarkers capable of differentiating between healthy (no myofascial pain) and those with active pain to target in a future clinical trial. ;
