Resting State fMRI • Allows interrogation of myriad functional systems without the constraints of a priori hypothesis
• Imaging the brain during rest reveals large-amplitude spontaneous low-frequency (<0.1 Hz) fluctuations
• Temporally correlated across functionally related areas
• “Functional connectome”• Default mode network
Medial prefrontal cortex (MPC)
Posterior cingulate/Precuneus (PCC)
Lateral parietal cortex (LPC)

Design Overview
• OSU IRB approved research study• 7 patients• Thoracic epidural SCS in place for treatment of
CRPS or neuropathic leg pain following FBSS involving one or both lower extremities

Pre-Imaging Clinical evaluation
• Determine stimulation parameters associated with:
1. SCS Perception threshold
2. “Optimal” pain reduction
3. Uncomfortable stimulation threshold

Pain QuantificationPain Quantification
Pain quantification was based on the Visual-Analog Scale (VAS) and the measure of percentage change in pain (∆P%) was determined as follows:
∆P% = 100x (POFF – PON)/POFF
where PON is the VAS pain rating as reported by the subject during stimulation while POFF is the pain rating reported with the stimulator switched OFF.

MRI safety
• Under OSU IRB approved research study, modeling analysis and laboratory measurements were performed
• Determined that the Neuromodulation devices would perform safely under the restrictions of this particular research protocol, MRI equipment, and implant restrictions.
• Note: cannot be extrapolated to other studies or other systems

fMRI protocol• 7 subjects• 1 control – 5 sessions of resting fMRI on different days• Resting state fMRI• 3 T Achieva Philips scanner, transmit /receive head coil. • Functional EPI images acquisition: isotropic spatial resolution of 3 mm,TR/TE

Frequency Domain Analysis – Amplitude of Low Frequency Fluctuation(ALFF)
• ALFF represents the average amplitude in the low-frequency band (0.01–0.08 Hz).
• Reflects the intensity of regional spontaneous brain activity
• Calculated by averaging the square root of the power spectrum of a given low-frequency BOLD time course across the frequencies filtered
• The fALFF shows the ratio of power spectrum of low-frequency (0.01-0.08 Hz) to that of the entire frequency range. It is inverse to ALFF

Seed based correlation analysis
Involves the a priori selection of a voxel, cluster or atlas region and then calculate whole-brain, voxel-wise functional connectivity maps of co-variance with the seed region.

Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)
• Causality modeling approach
• Provide measure of effective connectivity
• Model driven (ie ROI dependent)
• Provide confirmation for hypothesis testing
• SEM does not prove causation

Conclusions• SCS influences supraspinal (cerebral) pain
neuromodulation – indirect / direct• Pain control during spinal cord stimulation is
associated with change in connectivity between anterior insula (and amygdala) and components of the default mode network (DMN)
• ALFF in the region of the DMN is lower in patients with chronic pain compared to control.
• Spatially correlated fluctuations in resting state fMRI signals may be a neuroimaging surrogate for higher order pain perception and its modulation in chronic pain states
