Description

The aim of the study was to determine which brain areas are preferentially activated when healthy participants learned to activate their descending pain inhibition via a cognitive strategy. We compared participants brain activity with fMRI before and after learning a cognitive strategy via RIII-biofeedback-training. This experiment was a longitudinal MRI study with two MRI scans: MRI1: pre-intervention and MRI2: post-intervention. Intervention was a previously published feedback training (see doi:10:1002/ejp.570) to teach participants a cognitive strategy to reduce their spinal nociception.
