Pain in the brain! check out the thread: bsky.app/profile/drdami… on the new preprint: osf.io/preprints/psya…

Alert!!!! Anybody out there?!?! “An Action Networks Model for Pain” We propose a new model for chronic pain — and highlight two functionally connected cortical networks that could revolutionize how we treat it. 👉 thread below 🧵 osf.io/preprints/ps...

Chronic pain affects 1 in 5 adults, yet current treatments — meds, DBS, SCS — often fail. Motor cortex stimulation sometimes works. 🤔 But why? We now have the answer: it’s not just the motor cortex. It’s how the brain integrates pain with action.

Two newly characterized brain networks are critical: * SCAN (Somato-Cognitive Action Network) * AMN (Action-Mode Network) These aren’t just "motor" or "cognitive" areas. They are core pain-processing hubs, tightly linked to action planning and control.

Figure 1 (attached) shows how these networks: • Interdigitate with traditional motor areas • Align closely with pain activations (r=0.73) • Vary dramatically between individuals These are non-sensory pain networks. That’s why classic targeting misses.

So, we examined it in our prior cortical stimulation patients. Two patients with central neuropathic pain. * One had electrodes over both SCAN & AMN. *One hit only SCAN. Pain relief tracked exactly with network engagement. Precision matters!!!!

Great work by Dr David Darrow, MD and his team to try to better understand facial pain, we need more of this so that we can identify potential new treatments for our paints suffering from these disorders.

This is exactly the point and why the goal is to intervene at all possible levels with neuromodulation whether cortical stim #dbs #tms #ultrasound and also why understanding behavior is critical to understanding our patients in #pain Alexander B. Herman MD, PhD
