Brief summary

Observational study in PET-MRI using the 5-HT1A agonist PET radiotracer \[18F\]F13640.

Interventions

PROCEDUREPET-MRI in pain-free remission period

Patients will performed PET-MRI scans. A first 30 minutes acquisition will be performed at time=60min after injection. A second 75 minutes acquisition will be performed at time=150min. Each scans will contain functional dynamic \[18F\]F13640 PET acquisition, anatomical and functional MRI images acquisition and pain evaluation using a score visual analogic scale.

Mood changing (depression)baselineHospital Anxiety and Depression scale. Scores range from 0 to 21. Scores with 7 or less are considered as normal. Scores 8 to 10 as borderline abnormal and 11 to 21 as abnormal (case).
Evaluation of painDuring PET-MRI scans, 30 minutes from t=60 to t=90 after [18F]F13640 injectionEvaluation of pain during days of PET-MRI using a VAS projected on a screen in the camera (0= no pain; 10= pain as bad as can be)
Acute anxietyAt five points during the day : (1) before scans, (2) time =70minutes, (3) time =105minutes, (4) time=155 minutes, (5) time=240 minutesEvaluation of acute anxiety during days of PET-MRI using a VAS questionnaire (0= no anxiety; 10= anxiety as bad as can be)
Change in general anxietybaselineHospital Anxiety and Depression scale. Scores range from 0 to 21. Scores with 7 or less are considered as normal. Scores 8 to 10 as borderline abnormal and 11 to 21 as abnormal (case).
