Brief Summary:
Researchers at the West Virginia University Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute are looking for volunteers to participate in a research study to evaluate what effects Float-REST (Restricted environmental Stimulation Technique) has on the stress response caused by chronic lower back pain.
Detailed Description:
Chronic lower back pain has a profound impact on a patient's life and body. These patients face a litany of internal and external stressors. These stressors cause a detrimental sustained activation of the endogenous stress response, which is mediated by the autonomic nervous system. Our central hypothesis is that this high stress load exacerbates the symptoms of chronic pain by causing changes in how the brain processes pain signals from the periphery. If researchers can better understand how stress plays a role in the mitigation of pain, then there may be improvements in patient's quality of life. Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy (REST) flotation has been identified as a possible alternative treatment to pharmacological intervention for several conditions like generalized anxiety disorder by helping to reduce stress. However, there have yet to be any investigation into what affects that REST flotation has in chronic lower back pain.
