Anatomical and Functional Imaging Correlates of Chronic Pain in Cerebral Palsy (NCT05197946)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The investigators hope to use MRI biomarkers to identify and characterize sensorimotor network disruption patterns associated with chronic pain and sensory deficits in CP. Investigators will use existing information in the medical record as well as subjective reports from interview, physical exam data, and anatomical and functional MRI data to non-invasively identify brain injury correlates of pain and sensory deficits.
