  • System and Method for Detecting Pain and Its Components Using Magnetic Resonance
    Publication number: 20120238862
    Abstract: A system and method identifies different components of the pain experience (nociceptive (tissue damage), neuropathic (nerve damage) and psychological) and their relative contributions by the use of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to measure absolute and relative concentrations of metabolites in specific brain regions in the central nervous system or brain. The system and method can be used as a diagnostic tool for the assessment of the relative contribution of different aspects of the pain experience as well as monitoring of response to interventions directed at modifying these components.
    Type: Application
    Filed: March 21, 2012
    Publication date: September 20, 2012
    Inventors: Philip John Siddall, Carolyn E. Mountford, Anne Woodhouse, Peter Stanwell, Rajmund L. Somorjai
