Objective: Recent advances in brain imaging have deepened our knowledge of the neural activity in distinct brain areas associated with acupuncture analgesia. However, there has not been conclusive research into the frequency-specific resting-state functional changes associated with acupuncture analgesia in patients with chronic pain. Here, we aimed to characterize changes across multiple frequencies of resting-state cortical activity associated with ankle acupuncture stimulation (AAS) in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) and healthy controls.Methods: Twenty seven patients with CLBP and Twenty five age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers were enrolled in the study. Participants received tactile sham acupuncture (TSA) and AAS, respectively. The whole-brain amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) in the range 0.01–0.25 Hz was assessed for changes associated with each intervention. Further, a visual analog scale (VAS) was used to collect subjective measures of pain intensity in patients. Linear mixed-effect modeling (LME) was used to examine the mean ALFF values of AAS and TSA between patients and healthy controls.Results: The ALFF was modulated in the default mode network (an increase in the medial prefrontal cortex, and a decrease in the cerebellum/posterior ingulate/parahippocampus, P < 0.01, corrected) in both patients and controls. Decreased ALFF in the bilateral insular was frequency-dependent. Modulations in the cerebellum and right insular were significantly correlated with VAS pain score after AAS (P < 0.01).Conclusion: Hence, frequency-specific resting-state activity in the cerebellum and insular was correlated to AAS analgesia. Our frequency-specific analysis of ALFF may provide novel insights related to pain relief from acupuncture. |
