Supplemental Digital Content is Available in the Text. fMRI-based measures, validated for nociceptive pain, respond to acute osteoarthritis pain, are not sensitive to placebo, and are mild-to-moderately sensitive to naproxen. Many drug trials for chronic pain fail because of high placebo response rates in primary endpoints. Neurophysiological measures can help identify pain-linked pathophysiology and treatment mechanisms. They can also help guide early stop/go decisions, particularly if they respond to verum treatment but not placebo. The neurologic pain signature (NPS), an fMRI-based measure that tracks evoked pain in 40 published samples and is insensitive to placebo in healthy adults, provides a potentially useful neurophysiological measure linked to nociceptive pain. This study aims to validate the NPS in knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients and test the effects of naproxen on this signature. In 2 studies (50 patients, 64. 6 years, 75% females), we (1) test the NPS and other control signatures related to negative emotion in knee OA pain patients; (2) test the effect of placebo treatments; and (3) test the effect of naproxen, a routinely prescribed nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug in OA. The NPS was activated during knee pain in OA (d = 1. 51, P < 0. 001) and did not respond to placebo (d = 0. 12, P = 0. 23). A single dose of naproxen reduced NPS responses (vs placebo, NPS d = 0. 34, P = 0. 03 and pronociceptive NPS component d = 0. 38, P = 0. 02). Naproxen effects were specific for the NPS and did not appear in other control signatures. This study provides preliminary evidence that fMRI-based measures, validated for nociceptive pain, respond to acute OA pain, do not appear sensitive to placebo, and are mild-to-moderately sensitive to naproxen. |
