Locus Coeruleus Integrity in Older Adults with and without Chronic Pain

2021-11-03

Abstract excerpt

The locus coeruleus (LC) is a brainstem region involved in regulating pain. Chronic pain is common in older adulthood, but no studies have examined its association with the LC in humans. We used neuromelanin-sensitive imaging to study differences in LC integrity in older adults with and without chronic pain. Chronic pain was assessed in community-dwelling men from the Vietnam Era Twin Study of Aging (VETSA) in 3 s...
