Introduction: Chronic pain is associated with maladaptive plasticity of the nervous system [1]. It has also been proposed that there is an association between cognitive function and chronic pain [2]. To our knowledge, there are no longitudinal studies exploring this association. The main purpose of this study is to compare cognitive function in individuals with chronic low back pain (cLBP) and asymptomatic individuals for a three-month period. Methods: Participants will be individuals with cLBP (n = 67) and asymptomatic controls (n = 67) matched for age, sex, and educational levels. Assessment of pain characteristics and cognitive function will occur three times over a 3 month period (T1-first assessment; T2 -one week after first assessment; T3 -three months after first assessment). Pain and psychological factors will be assessed using a mobile app (AvaliaDOR: pain phenotype and intensity, catastrophizing and fear of movement), and the Central Sensitization Inventory and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAS).. Cognitive function will be assessed using a web-based system (Brain on Track®). Two-point discrimination will be used as an indicator of cortical reorganization. Results: We hypothesized that individuals with cLBP will demonstrate a reduced cognitive function compared with asymptomatic individuals; and that higher pain intensity and duration, psychosocial factors and cortical reorganization will be related to decreased cognitive function. Discussion: This study may further elucidate the association between cLBP characteristics and cognitive function and provide potential recommendations for the assessment and management of cLBP and future research. Process evaluation: We anticipate difficulty in enrolling the expected number of participants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
