Conditions

Brain Network Functional Connectivity

Brief summary

Through longitudinal analysis of dynamic changes in DMN functional connectivity before and after sensory training intervention, combined with pain behavioral and functional improvement indicators, this study systematically reveals the central neural remodeling patterns in CNLBP and establishes an objective efficacy evaluation system based on multimodal imaging.

Detailed description

This phase of the research aims to elucidate the neuroplasticity mechanisms induced by CNLBP treatment, providing a theoretical basis for the future development of personalized rehabilitation protocols based on brain network subtypes, ultimately achieving the clinical goals of reducing pain recurrence rates and improving long-term prognosis in patients.

Exclusion criteria

* Fractures, dislocations, structural abnormalities, prior surgery, metal implants, or lumbar disc herniation; * Comorbidities such as severe cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, osteoporosis, or metabolic diseases; ③ Low back pain caused by visceral diseases; * VAS score (range 1-10) exceeding 8 points; * Pregnant or lactating women; ⑥ Symptoms of nerve root irritation; ⑦ Recent participation in core stability training.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
VASAfter 4 weeks of treatmentThe Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to assess the severity of low back pain, with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating unbearable severe pain.
JOAAfter 4 weeks of treatmentThe Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) efficacy assessment criteria for low back disorders were applied to evaluate lumbar function.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
MRIAfter 4 weeks of treatmentMagnetic resonance imaging was used to assess the effects of treatment on brain networks.
