In various chronic pain conditions cortical reorganisation seems to play a role in the symptomatology. The aims of this study were to investigate cortical reorganisation in patients with pain caused by chronic pancreatitis (CP) and to correlate putative cortical reorganisation to clinical pain scores. ⋯ The findings indicate that sustained pain in CP leads to functional reorganisation of the insular cortex. We suggest its physiological correlate to be an adaptive response to chronic pain. and IAP.
