项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R21 application is designed to determine the impact of cerebellar damage on pain sensation and pain processing in the brain. Pain is a subjective experience comprised of sensory, affective, and cognitive dimensions. Human functional imaging studies investigating experimental and clinical pain consistently find cerebellar activation, though its functional implications are unclear. Initially thought to reflecta motor circuit response to pain, the characterization of cognitive and affective deficits following cerebellar damage in children and adults suggest a fundamental role in pain processing. We have also published work that suggests that the cerebellum may serve as a multimodal modulator of negative affect, a significant component in pain processing. However, as far as we know, a thorough investigation of changes in pain sensation following cerebellar tumor resection has never been reported. The hypothesis of this project is that the posterior cerebellum modulates affective brain circuits to down-regulate pain perception in response to noxious stimuli. The specific aims are (1) to define the consequences of cerebellar tumor resection on pain perception with sensory testing, and (2) define the consequences of resection on pain processing in the brain with functional magnetic resonance imaging. Boston Children's Hospital will provide an ideal clinical research environment to efficiently recruit patients, and to evaluat them with sensory testing and neuroimaging. The long-term goal is to identify the role of the cerebellum in pain processing.

描述（由申请人提供）：此R21应用旨在确定小脑损伤对大脑疼痛和疼痛处理的影响。疼痛是一种主观的经历，由感官，情感和认知维度组成。人类功能成像研究研究了实验性和临床疼痛，尽管其功能意义尚不清楚，但始终发现小脑激活。最初被认为反映了运动电路对疼痛的反应，在儿童和成人小脑损伤后的认知和情感缺陷的表征表明在疼痛处理中起着基本作用。我们还发表了工作，表明小脑可以作为负面影响的多模式调节剂，这是疼痛处理中的重要组成部分。但是，据我们所知，从未报道过小脑肿瘤切除后疼痛感觉的变化的彻底研究。该项目的假设是，后小脑会调节情感脑回路，以响应有害刺激而下调疼痛感知。（1）的具体目的是通过感觉测试来定义小脑肿瘤切除对疼痛感知的后果，以及（2）通过功能磁共振成像来定义切除对大脑疼痛处理的后果。波士顿儿童医院将提供理想的临床研究环境，以有效地招募患者，并通过感觉测试和神经影像对他们进行评估。长期目标是确定小脑在疼痛处理中的作用。
