Anterior insula activity is related to CP/CPPS pain intensity. A, peak activity from anterior insula (blue circle) identified from pain – visual contrast shows significantly larger activity in pain task vs visual task (bar graph), and shows significant positive relationship between activity and CP/CPPS pain intensity (each symbol is individual subject in scatterplot). B, correlation of peak activity from anterior insula with clinical parameters of CP/CPPS. In addition to spontaneous pain intensity MPQ exhibited significant correlation with insular activity.
