Scientists use Full-Body scans to hunt for hidden pain clues

NCT ID NCT05876858

Summary

This study aims to find new, measurable signs of myofascial pain using a special full-body PET/CT scanner. Researchers will scan 53 adults with chronic low back pain to see if they can detect changes in muscle tissue related to metabolism and blood flow. The goal is to develop better tools to understand this common pain condition, not to test a new treatment.
