There is increasing evidence that chronic pain problems are characterised by
alterations in brain structure and function. Chronic back pain is no exception.
There is a growing sentiment, with accompanying theory, that these brain changes
contribute to chronic back pain, although empirical support is lacking. This
paper reviews the structural and functional changes of the brain that have been
observed in people with chronic back pain. We cast light on the clinical
implications of these changes and the possibilities for new treatments but we
also advise caution against concluding their efficacy in the absence of solid
evidence to this effect.
