A system and method identifies different components of the pain experience (nociceptive (tissue damage), neuropathic (nerve damage) and psychological) and their relative contributions by the use of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to measure absolute and relative concentrations of metabolites in specific brain regions in the central nervous system or brain. The system and method can be used as a diagnostic tool for the assessment of the relative contribution of different aspects of the pain experience as well as monitoring of response to interventions directed at modifying these components.
L'invention concerne un système et une méthode permettant d'identifier différentes composantes de l'expérience de la douleur (nociceptive (lésions des tissus), neuropathique (lésions nerveuses) et psychologique) ainsi que leurs contributions relatives au moyen de la spectroscopie par résonance magnétique (SRM) afin de mesurer les concentrations absolues et relatives de métabolites dans des régions du cerveau spécifiques, dans le système nerveux central ou dans le cerveau. Lesdits système et méthode peuvent être utilisés en tant qu'outil diagnostique pour l'évaluation de la contribution relative d'aspects différents de l'expérience de la douleur ainsi que pour la surveillance de la réponse à des interventions visant à modifier lesdites composantes.
