PET/MRI in the Diagnosis of Chronic Pain

Trial ID or NCT#

NCT03556137

Status

recruiting iconRECRUITING

Purpose

Several studies have implicated involvement of sigma-1 receptors (SR1s) in the generation of chronic pain, while others are investigating anti SR1 drugs for treatment of chronic pain. Using \[18F\]-FTC-146 and positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI), the investigators hope to identify the source of pain generation in patients with chronic pain. The purpose of this study is to compare the uptake of \[18F\]FTC-146 in healthy volunteers to that of individuals suffering from chronic pain.
