Chronic pain affects 1 in 4 adults and is often refractory to treatment. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for pain has been studied for over 70 years, but an objective biomarker that can guide therapy is still lacking. Previous research was limited by focusing on experimental pain tasks in healthy individuals, constraining clinical application. This study aimed to identify real-world brain biomarkers of chronic pain to personalize DBS.
