Summary

Chronic pain continues to be a major health issue, creating a significant societal burden, as
 it is an independent risk factor for opioid use disorder (OUD) and deaths. Acute pain
 episodes can often engender OUD due to lack of effective strategies to treat pain and prevent
 the transition to chronic pain. One potential non-opioid method for pain relief is
 auriculotherapy (AT), where acupuncture-like treatment is administered to the ear. The
 objective of this pilot study is to illustrate that AT-related brain effects can be found
 using functional connectivity MRI (fcMRI) in patients with low back pain.
