Abstract
Physical pain is a leading cause of healthcare spending, work-related disability, and morbidity in the United States. The development of advanced functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques such as blood oxygenation level dependent imaging, arterial spin labeling, and resting-state functional connectivity MRI offers researchers the prospect of developing objective diagnostic instruments for pain syndromes. This chapter reviews recent advancements in functional imaging, and the diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities they present in pain management.
