Although preclinical and clinical data strongly support an association between amygdala and chronic pain by the presence of mood and cognitive disturbances in affected individuals, little attention has been paid to morphometric measurement of the structure in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). In the present study, MR volumetric and surface analysis, using FMRIB's integrated registration and segmentation tool (FIRST), were performed to compare structural MR imaging data obtained from 33 patients with CLBP to those obtained from 33 demographically similar healthy controls.
