Effect of Near-Infrared Functional Imaging on Changes in Cerebral Oxygenated Hemoglobin in Patients with Chronic Spinal Pain
Objective Near-infrared functional imaging(fRINS)was used to analyze the changes of oxyhemoglobin concentration in the prefrontal cortex of patients with moderate and severe chronic spinal pain before and after treatment,so as to provide a quantitative theoretical basis for evaluating the therapeutic effect and prognosis.Methods From January 2022 to June 2022,a total of 30 patients with chronic spinal pain in the Rehabilitation Medicine Department of Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital were selected and divided into moderate pain group(14 cases)and severe pain group(16 cases)according to visual analogue score(VAS).The concentration of cerebral oxygenated hemoglobin in the prefrontal cortex was detected by fRINS.After 2 weeks of clinical treatment(etoricoxib tablets,ultrashort wave short-wave physical factors,manipulation),the VAS score was evaluated and the concentration of cerebral oxygenated hemoglobin in the prefrontal cortex were detected by fRINS.SPSS 23 software was used for data analysis.Results After treatment,both groups showed a decrease in VAS scores and levels of oxygenated hemoglobin in the prefrontal cortex compared to before treatment(P<0.05).Conclusion fRINS can quantify the degree of pain,which can be used as a simple,non-invasive and objective pain assessment index.It provides objective data for evaluating clinical analgesic efficacy and prognosis,and provides a theoretical basis for the treatment of chronic pain.
