To identify pathways and relevant individual variations for generation, propagation and subsidence of pain 5. To identify new imaging biomarkers related to chronic low back pain 6. To develop a registry of neck and low back pain subjects to help monitor the health-care management and utility to improve protocols and patient outcomes.
