Other | Brain imaging using MRI metrics | Resting-state fMRI and diffusion MRI imaging will be acquired on a 3T Philips Scanner (Achieva 3.0T (TX), Philips Healthcare Medical Systems, Best, Netherlands) with an 15-channel head coil.
Functional and anatomic connection will be assessed between several regions of interest including: the primary motor cortex and the thalamus, the thalamus and the periaqueductal gray, the nucleus accumbens and the medial prefrontal cortex, the uncinate fasciculus. |
Baseline | |
Primary | Pain intensity (average pain over the last week) | Pain score on a 11-point pain numerical rating scale (PNRS) ranging from 0 to 10, with 0 meaning no pain and 10 the worst pain imaginable. | Change from baseline to 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks | |
Secondary | Disability (ODI) | The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) version 2.1 is a self-completed questionnaire giving a subjective percentage score of disability. Includes 10 questions rated on a 6-item scale, from 0 to 5 points. The total score ranges from "0" (No disability) to "100" (Maximal disability). | Change from baseline to 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks | |
Secondary | Tampa scale of kinesiophobia (TSK) | TSK is used to assess pain-related fear of movement with a 17-item questionnaire. Each item is scored on a 4-point Likert scale. Total score ranges from 17 (minimal pain-related fear of movement) to 58 (maximal pain-related fear of movement). | Change from baseline to 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks | |
Secondary | Quality of life (SF-12) | The SF-12 is a generic quality-of-life questionnaire which consist of twelve questions evaluating eight mental and physical health domains. | Change from baseline to 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks | |
Secondary | Global rating of change | A 11-point scale ranging from -5 to 5, to evaluate the perceived change of health status after the intervention. | Change from baseline to 8 weeks |
