摘要: Background The spontaneous component of neuropathic pain (NP) has not been explored sufficiently with neuroimaging techniques, given the difficulty to coax out brain components that sustain background ongoing pain. Here, we address for first time correlates this in an fMRI study a group eight patients suffering from diabetic and healthy control subjects. Specifically, studied functional connectivity is associated spatial independent analysis (sICA).
