Brain perfusion patterns are altered in chronic knee pain: a spatial covariance analysis of arterial spin labelling MRI (2020)
Journal Article

Chronic musculoskeletal pain is a common problem globally. Current evidence suggests that maladapted central pain pathways are associated with pain chronicity, for example, in postoperative pain after knee replacement. Other factors such as low mood,...
