Cognitive Flexibility Training for Persistent Pain: Neuroimaging Pilot (COFLEX-i)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cognitive Training + fMRI for Chronic Pain and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 46 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
To determine whether a 5-week computer-based cognitive training intervention results in changes in resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) within the brain networks.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Consented subjects will be asked to participate in the study for up to five months. Patients will be consented at the Washington University Department of Anesthesiology and will be asked to complete baseline resilience, pain, and anxiety and depression questionnaires, along with cognitive tests by pencil and paper that will be administered by a member of the research team. The participants will also be required to complete a computer-based Trails-making test, Color Match test, and NCPT (Neurocognitive Performance Test) battery at baseline, and undergo a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) session. All subjects will be asked to complete the three paper-pencil and computer-based measurements along with repeat pain questionnaire again 1-3 days after completion of training, undergo a second fMRI scan at that time, and complete the questionnaires again 3 months after the completion of training.
