Fig. 3 — Region of interest analysis of changes in V_T [¹¹C]DPN in the brainstem. (A) PAG (yellow), pontine (red) and medullary (green) regions of interest were defined for each subject allowing extraction of mean [¹¹C]DPN V_T. (B) Analysis of the PAG cluster and entire ROI showed a decrease in V_T with DBS for every patient that was significant at a group level for the cluster. (C and D) No correlation was found between the change in [¹¹C]DPN V_T in the PAG cluster and either the pain NRS or the POMSsv (best fit linear regression lines shown with confidence intervals overlapping zero). (E) DBS did not produce a significant change in medullary, pontine or cerebellar [¹¹C]DPN V_T.
