Motor Control Exercise Modulates the Neural Plasticity of the Default Mode Network in Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain
Pain Physician Journal January 20, 2024 Chuhuai Wang
BACKGROUND: Motor control exercise (MCE) effectively alleviates nonspecific chronic low back pain (CLBP), but the neural mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: To study MCE’s neural mechanisms in patients with CLBP by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). STUDY DESIGN: A prospective, single-blind, randomized, controlled trial. SETTING:...
