This project uses advanced analytical approaches in functional magnetic resonance imaging, at the level of the individual, to expand our current understanding of the brain changes responsible for driving an individual's susceptibility or resistance toward prescription opioid misuse in patients with chronic low back pain.

The study is being done to find out if this approach (8 sessions of the Internet-based program with education) is better or worse than the usual approach plus education only for cancer-related pain. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for cancer-related pain.

This study will examine the effects of early childhood adversity on stress and craving among individuals with opioid use disorder. Study participants will complete a total of three visits, including a 1-month follow-up visit. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires about thier mood, anxiety, drug use, craving and adverse childhood events. They will listen to personalized scripts about a stressful situation, a time when they used opioid and a relaxing situation and their heart rate, skin conductance and cortisol are measured.

The purpose of the research is to evaluate the effectiveness of using two common drugs together to reduce chronic pain specifically in patients with fibromyalgia. These two drugs are minocycline and N-acetylcysteine . Minocycline is an antibiotic, and N-acetylcysteine is a supplement that can reduce cell damage. Minocycline and N-acetylcysteine are not FDA approved for chronic pain but have been proven in animal studies to interact with important cells in the body that play a major role in the development of chronic pain.
