advances in the study of chronic pain from waist

. One of the most common chronic pain is the waist-which is one of the main reasons for absenteeism, for which there is no completely effective therapy.

For a long time, it was assumed that chronic pain was a sharp acute pain, which led to treat both conditions as if they were the same.
But, while not yet know the exact biological mechanism by which acute pain becomes chronic in recent years, functional magnetic resonance imaging studies showed that patients with chronic pain have some brain disorders that are correlated with the intensity and duration of the disease. "You could say that chronic pain 'hurt' the brain," illustrates the MD Dante Chialvo, a researcher at CONICET at the University of Rosario who, along with three physicians, conducted a study that casts further light on the problem and be published in the journal Neuroscience Letters.
"In patients with chronic pain in the waist, located three sites in the brain that are altered connectivity for normal controls," says Enzo Tagliazucchi, Department of Physics Faculty of Natural Sciences (FCEyN) of the UBA. "There is a change in the communication between regions of the frontal cortex and insula, an area related to the perception of pain," he adds.
