Descriptive Pilot Study of the Effects of a Standardized Neuromodulation Program on Cortical Brain Function in Chronic Low Back Pain Patients (NEMOLOC)

Study Description
Brief Summary:
This study aims to evaluate neurofeedback-induced changes in brain function and the correlations between these changes and clinical scores by functional magnetic resonance imaging and electroencephalography in patients with low back pain.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Low Back Pain Chronic Low Back Pain Other: Neurofeedback treatment Other: functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans Not Applicable

Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Estimated Enrollment : 15 participants
Allocation: N/A
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Other
Official Title: Descriptive Pilot Study of the Effects of a Standardized Neuromodulation Program on Cortical Brain Function in Chronic Low Back Pain Patients
Estimated Study Start Date : June 2021
Estimated Primary Completion Date : October 2022
Estimated Study Completion Date : October 2022
Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Chronic low back pain Other: Neurofeedback treatment

20 sessions of neurofeedback of 5 minutes each consisting of :

  • The patient is equipped with an electroencephalography headset. The feedback visual has the form of a candle flame and is modulated by alpha synchrony.
  • The height of the flame is proportional to the intensity of the patient's pain. The patient has to concentrate on the height of this flame by thought to modulate it and, at the same time, to decrease the intensity of his own pain.

Other: functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans
The patient in alpha synchrony related state and in rating state will undergo an fMRI

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Description of the cortical zone activated by neurofeedback [ Time Frame: Day 20 ]
    Measure taken by electroencephalography


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Back Beliefs Questionnaire (BBQ) [ Time Frame: Day 20 ]
    Auto-Questionnaire with 14 items describing the patient beliefs about chronic low back pain. The higher the score, the more the beliefs are negative

  2. Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ) [ Time Frame: Day 20 ]
    Auto-Questionnaire with 16 items describing apprehension and avoidance in relation to professional activities and physical activities.

  3. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) [ Time Frame: Day 20 ]
    Scale used to assess the functional disability of low back pain patients.

  4. Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CSQ) [ Time Frame: Day 20 ]
    Auto-Questionnaire with 21 items evaluating coping strategies specific to pain and especially in low back pain

  5. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) [ Time Frame: Day 20 ]
    Auto-Questionnaire with 14 items used in the detection of anxio-depressive disorders. The higher the score, the more the depression is severe.

  6. Scale of lumbar pain in Quebec [ Time Frame: Day 20 ]
    Autoquestionnaire with 20 items used to measure the functional repercussions of low back pain on simple actions of everyday life. The higher the score, the more low back pains have a significant functional impact.

  7. Tampa scale [ Time Frame: Day 20 ]
    Autoquestionnaire with 17 items used to estimate the level of kinesiophobia (fear and fear) related to pain that leads to avoidance of activities considered to cause or increase pain or to cause or aggravate an injury. The higher the score, the higher the level of kinesiophobia.
