Brain function MRI (fMRI) could successfully demonstrate that differences in the pattern of brain activity to lower back pain (LBP) can be used as a neurological marker to distinguish between individuals with and without LBP. Medical, legal and business professionals have recognized the importance of this research topic and of developing objective measures of LBP and other chronic pain.
