The impact of pain-related fear on neural pathways of pain modulation in chronic low back pain
Abstract. Introduction:. Pain-related fear plays a substantial role in chronic low back pain (LBP) by amplifying the experienced disability. Related dysfunctional emotions and cognitions may also affect sensory aspects of pain through a modulatory pathway in which the periaqueductal gray (PAG) and t...
