The challenges and understanding of acute and chronic pain have been illuminated
through the advancement of central neuroimaging. Through neuroimaging research,
new technology and findings have allowed us to identify and understand the neural
mechanisms contributing to chronic pain. Several regions of the brain are known
to be of particular importance for the maintenance and amplification of chronic
pain, and this knowledge provides novel targets for future research and
treatment. This article reviews neuroimaging for the study of chronic pain, and
in particular, the rapidly advancing and popular research tools of structural and
functional MRI.
