Research study: A treatment for chronic back pain
If you suffer from chronic back pain you may be eligible to participate in a paid research study on the benefits of a novel mind-body treatment for chronic pain.
The research study consists of two MRI scan sessions four to six weeks apart on the CU Boulder campus, before and after treatment. Participants will be compensated $225. MRI is safe and non-invasive technology for measuring brain function, and participants will be given a photo of their brain to take home. The treatment will be administered at the Interventional Pain Management clinic at the University of Colorado Hospital at the Anschutz Denver metro campus.
Eligibility criteria:
- Age 21–70
- Back pain for the last three months or more
- No metal in the body (for MRI safety)
- No opioid use for more than four weeks in the past two years; opioids include common prescription painkillers like oxycodone (Percocet), hydrocodone (Vicodin) and meperidine
- Not pregnant due to unclear effects of MRI on a fetus
If you are interested, please email canlab@colorado.edu or call 303-492-4299.

Free print production training class Aug. 2
Join Strategic Relations for the latest no-cost print production training course: Paper Stock and Recycling. Walk-ins are welcome, but each class is limited to 15 people. Classes are held the first Wednesday of the month.
Not all papers are created equal. Asking for a brochure to be “printed on white paper” could result in a wide variety of outcomes. Learn about some little-known truths involving recycled content, carbon footprints and the sustainability certifications earned by paper mills and printing presses. And each decision can affect your cost.
Wednesday, Aug. 2, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
