Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to compare the uptake of 18FFTC-146 in healthy volunteers to that of individuals suffering from chronic pain with Spinal or Peripheral Nerve Origin
Primary Objectives
A To quantify the bio-distribution of 18F FTC-146 uptake in subjects with Spinal or Peripheral Nerve Origin pain and compare it with healthy controls
B To determine whether painful schwannomas can be differentiated from non-painful schwannomas based on imaging
Secondary Objectives
A To assess the reproducibility of 18FFTC-146 PET imaging within the same healthy volunteer subjects using Test-Retest analysis
B To investigate whether post-treatment 18FFTC-146 uptake differs from pre-treatment uptake and correlate the imaging with subject reported pain level after treatment

Detailed Description:
Chronic pain represents a significant and widespread problem affecting approximately one-fifth person of the global population As reported by the Institute of Medicine in 2011 chronic pain impacts 116 million American adults surpassing the combined prevalence of heart disease cancer and diabetes The economic burden associated with chronic pain is staggering with an estimated annual expenditure of 635 billion on medical management and lost productivity1 Chronic pain can interfere with a persons daily life and lead to depression insomnia and anxiety which can make the chronic pain worse Chronic pain has many forms and appears across the body For this study we will focus on chronic pain with spinal or peripheral nerve origin
Chronic pain in the spinal cord or peripheral nerves can be caused by neuropathic pain which occurs when the nervous system is damaged or malfunctions Tumors specifically schwannomas are known to cause neuropathic chronic pain in subjects The chronic pain can also be caused by nociceptive pain which is a type of pain that occurs when body tissue is damaged by physical or chemical agents such as trauma surgery or chemical burns
Pain is common and debilitating in people with schwannomatosis Pain is the defining feature of most forms of schwannomatosis While neurologic deficits eg weakness are relatively rare pain is extremely common Pain correlates with greater disability and pain-related interference in daily activities correlates with poorer quality of life
In patients with schwannomatosis due to the presence of multiple tumors and frequent non-tumorigenic sources of pain identifying the pain-generating tumors can be difficult This is particularly true since there does not seem to be any correlation between tumor size or active tumor growth and pain Furthermore even when pain can be localized to a specific nerve distribution the nerve in question often will have multiple tumors along its course
Current clinical methods for diagnosing and localizing pain generators are inadequate highlighting the urgent need for more objective molecular assays capable of identifying sites of enhanced nociceptive activity This will facilitate better diagnosis and targeted therapy for the patient Additionally the limited number availability of analgesic options for chronic and neuropathic pain patients coupled with significant adverse effects underscores the critical need for safer and better-tolerated analgesics
