These results show the potential for fMRI-guided, personalized SCS programming - moving beyond trial-and-error approaches toward precision neuromodulation, and highlight the complexity of central mechanisms in chronic pain.

Optimal SCS enhances PAG and midbrain activity while reducing signals in emotional/cognitive hubs like the ACC and insula. On a network level it strengthens descending pain inhibition and modulates affective/cognitive pain pathways for effective analgesia. (3/4)

We saw that paresthesia-free or low-frequency (40 Hz) stimulation augments prefrontal engagement, while high-frequency (1200 Hz) modulates sensorimotor cortices. (2/4)

Chronic pain arises from interactions among sensory, cognitive, and emotional circuits. Our recent fMRI investigation published in Brain Stimulation of SCS reveals how neuromodulation may help restore equilibrium in these central pain pathways. (1/4) t.co/VFH7dfHb0s
