Study Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this research program is to determine the potential effectiveness of real-time fMRI training in improving mental control over pain.
Detailed Description
A research study that looks at pain and how you experience pain. This research project aims to use virtual reality-based real-time functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rtfMRI) to assess brain activation during the experience of pain and while subjects attempt to mentally control their pain response.
