Using simultaneous positron emission tomography (PET)/functional MR imaging and the radioligand ([&lt;sup&gt;18&lt;/sup&gt;F]-FEMPA), which binds to the translocator protein (TSPO), this study demonstrated potential glial changes in individuals with chronic low back pain (LBP) located in the primary sensory and motor cortices (S1/M1). Neuroinflammatory glial activation was higher in nociplastic LBP than nociceptive LBP and pain-free groups. This activation was correlated with various markers of sensorimotor functions (e.g. sensitivity to hot/cold stimuli and intracortical facilitation assessed by TMS) and patient characteristics (e.g. poor sleep, depression, disability and BMI). This is an ambitious proof-of-concept study, creating new testable hypotheses about the differential mechanisms of distinct types of pain. However, the study has certain limitations that need to be considered. PET targeting 18 kDa TSPO is widely used for localizing inflammation in vivo, but its quantitative interpretation remains uncertain (Nutma et al., &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;). Furthermore, given that the experiment was conducted on a small sample of individuals with LBP, it remains to be established whether these findings can be generalized and specific to a subtype of LBP associated with central sensitization.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Over the last few years, a plethora of works have pointed out the importance of precise pain phenotyping to optimize individual treatments of chronic pain. Clinical (QST, quantification of sensory systems), electrophysiological (high-density EEG/MEG/TMS) and functional imaging (MRI or PET) approaches have proved useful to disclose at the individual level some particularities of brain activity associated with different expression of LBP. However, they have rarely been used jointly to assess the contribution of glial cells to this process and to develop models of abnormal brain functioning profiles in LBP. In this sense, the findings from Shraim et al. (&lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;) may provide a valuable therapeutic basis for treating those with central sensitization resulting in nociplastic LBP by targeting neuroinflammation in S1/M1; but although the study is proof-of-principle study, the sample size is very small, particularly in the nociceptive and nociplastic subgroups (&lt;i&gt;N&lt;/i&gt; = 4 and N = 5). A larger sample size is required to confirm whether a causal relationship exists and to describe potentially relevant pathogenetic differences. Another challenge specific to pain biomarker development pertains to the complexity of pain and the impact of individual factors such as sex differences. All participants with nociplastic LBP were female.

Sociodemographic data, the presence of CP and non-chronic continuous pain, characteristics of pain, limitations on activities of daily living (ADL), the presence and level of anxiety and depression (HADS), quality of life (SF-12v2) and social support (DUKE) were collected.

Women presented a higher prevalence of both CP (30.5% vs. 21.3%) and non-chronic continuous pain (8.8% vs. 6.6%). CP was more common in the group between 55 and 75 years old (30.6%, 95% CI = 28.6–32.6%), non-chronic continuous pain affected most the population between 18 and 34 years old (11.2%, 95% CI = 9.6–12.7%). The median duration of CP was 4 years. The lumbar was the most frequent pain site (58.1%), and 27.1% did not know the cause. A greater frequency of limitations on ADL, more anxiety and depression, and worse quality of life were shown among the subjects with CP.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Conclusion&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;CP affects one in four Spanish people and impairs the mental, physical and social health.
