Current Rheumatology Reports Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The application of functional imaging techniques has revolutionized the field of human pain physiology and has elaborated the understanding of mechanisms involved in pain processing at the cortical and subcortical levels. With these insights, new therapeutic interventions are being developed in the treatment of acute and chronic pain conditions.
