The overarching goal of this study phase, Phase II component is to perform a randomized clinical trial of the refined Computerized Chemosensory-Based Orbitofrontal Networks Training for Treatment of Pain [CBOT-Pain (or CBOT-P)] from Phase I, compared to sham Computerized Chemosensory-Based Orbitofrontal Networks Training (CBOT) in Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) to determine its short- and long-term effectiveness on Pain, Negative Affect (NA), Cognition and Cortical Brain Structure (PACS), long-term safety, and indications.
The investigators will perform a randomized clinical trial of the refined CBOT-P from Phase I, compared to sham CBOT in CLBP.
Aim 2.1: To determine if CBOT-P significantly influences: (1) acute and long-term reduction of pain severity, and (2) acute and long-term reduction of negative affect. The hypothesis is that optimized CBOT will produce faster, stronger, and longer-lasting improvements in pain severity, NA severity, cognitive impairments, and sleep and functional outcomes.
Aim 2.2 To determine if CBOT-P significantly prevents or reduces progressive shrinkage in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), cingulate cortex, and hippocampus. MRI will be acquired at baseline and 6th month. An integrative analysis will be conducted to determine the link between changes in brain structure and cognitive trajectory. The hypothesis is that the CBOT optimized with BCP significantly attenuates shrinkage in OFC and other prefrontal cortex (PFC) regions, compared to the Sham intervention.
The Development and Evaluation of Computerized Chemosensory-Based Orbitofrontal Networks Training for Treatment of Pain (CBOT-P) is a project to develop an effective, scalable, user-friendly, and home-based neuromodulatory platform for broad-spectrum treatment of chronic pain conditions with associated negative affect and cognitive impairments.
The small business, Evon Medics created the olfactory pulsing technology called Computerized Chemosensory-Based Orbitofrontal Cortex Training (CBOT-P) to enable home-based modulation of the OFC and subcortical limbic structures to treat pain and negative affect. In a stakeholder value canvassing exercise chronic pain (CP) sufferers and pain doctors unanimously desire new non-invasive, home-based, safe, and effective interventions that can reduce pain severity by more than 10%, suggesting that current treatments have limitations. Anterograde and retrograde anatomical tracings have been used to demonstrate direct (monosynaptic) anatomical connection between the OFC and the descending inhibitory pain nodes at the midbrain periaqueductal gray matter (PAG). Transition to CP is marked by weakened modulation of the PAG descending inhibition.
In this study phase, Phase II of this Fast-Track SBIR application, the investigators will conduct a multi-site study of 220 adult patients with CLBP to establish stronger evidence that the product controls pain, reduces negative mood, improves cognition, and protects the brain from shrinking in six months of treatment. Participants in this phase will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to daily treatment with CBOT-P device (i.e., CBOT with beta-caryophyllene (BCP) compared to a control (Sham) device that looks like the device but does not have the active ingredients and the programmed parameters on the ability to improve pain, mood, cognition and brain functions in chronic pain. Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be acquired at baseline and after 6 months of daily treatment with optimized CBOT (based on Phase I) or Sham CBOT device to improve masking. Pain and NA measures, Cognitive batteries, and physical and functional measures will be assessed at baseline, months 1, 3, and 6. Participants would be encouraged through mobile health prompts to complete subjective pain, affect, sleep, and functional studies at the end of each study week. CLBP volunteers, radiologists, and clinicians assessing outcome measures will be blinded to these assignments.
The investigators will also collect user experiences to help refine a final marketable CBOT product, enter the FDA breakthrough designation program for pain that would lead to Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement, engage a wider network of pain stakeholders, and establish marketing for commercial success.

| Total Sleep Time (TST) Centrepoint Insight Actigraph watch Sleep Parameters Aim 2.1 | Change in Total Sleep Time (TST) captured by Centrepoint Insight Actigraph watch: The total sleep time is the total amount of sleep time scored during the total recording time. This includes time from sleep onset to sleep offset and is distributed throughout the sleep time as minutes of Stage N1 sleep, Stage N2 sleep, Stage N3, and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. All these times are described in minutes. A low total sleep time may indicate that the patient slept for an insufficient period of time due to non-medical/non-physiological reasons, certain medical or sleep disorders, or as a result of the effect of medications. Long total sleep time may suggest prior sleep deprivation, medical conditions, or effects of medications. | Baseline and 1 month |
| Sleep Onset Latency (SOL) Centrepoint Insight Actigraph watch Sleep Parameters Aim 2.1 | Change in Sleep Onset Latency (SOL) captured by Centrepoint Insight Actigraph watch: Sleep latency is the time in minutes from 'lights out' that marks the starting of total recording time to the first epoch scored as sleep. Sleep latency also indicates if reasonable attention was paid to the patient's sleep diary and the 'lights out' time was close to the patient's routine bedtime at home. Clearly, if the lights are turned out earlier than the patient's usual bedtime, sleep latency would be spuriously long, and the patient may not fall asleep until his/her usual sleep time is reached. Similarly, if the 'lights out' time is later than the patient's usual bedtime, the patient will be sleepy and a spuriously short sleep latency will be recorded. It is of utmost importance that the patient's usual habitual sleep time is incorporated into the patient's sleep study design and 'lights out' time is approximated. | Baseline and 1 month |
| Sleep Efficiency (SE) Centrepoint Insight Actigraph watch Sleep Parameters Aim 2.1 | Change in Sleep Efficiency (SE) captured by Centrepoint Insight Actigraph watch: Sleep efficiency refers to percentage of total time in bed actually spent in sleep calculated as sum of Stage N1, Stage N2, Stage N3, and REM sleep, divided by the total time in bed and multiplied by 100. Sleep efficiency gives an overall sense of how well the patient slept, but it does not distinguish frequent, brief episodes of wakefulness. A low sleep efficiency percentage could result from long sleep latency and long sleep offset to lights on time with otherwise normal quantity and quality of sleep in between. Many laboratories report total wake time, that is, the amount of wake time during the total recording time in minutes after the sleep onset. The total amount gives a general estimation for overall quality of sleep. Total wake time is the reciprocal of total sleep time. A high total sleep time percent is always associated with low total wake time percent and vice versa | Baseline and 1 month |
| Wake After Sleep Onset (WASO) Centrepoint Insight Actigraph watch Sleep Parameters Aim 2.1 | Change in Wake After Sleep Onset (WASO) captured by Centrepoint Insight Actigraph watch: Wake after sleep onset, also known as 'WASO' refers to periods of wakefulness occurring after defined sleep onset. This parameter measures wakefulness, excluding the wakefulness occurring before sleep onset. WASO time is a better reflection of sleep fragmentation. | Baseline and 1 month |

A higher PROMIS T-score represents more of the concept being measured. | Baseline to month 1 visit |
| Patient Global Impression of Change Aim 2.1 | Change in Patient Global Impression of Change score The Patient Global Impression of Change scale is a single, self-administered question asking respondents to rate how their condition has changed since a certain point in time. It is a patient-reported outcome measure that can be used to assess treatment benefit in clinical trials or practice. It is based on the Clinical Global Impression of Change scale, which is an observer-rated scale of symptom severity and treatment response. The scale ranges from 1 (no change or worse) to 7 (a great deal better). | Baseline to month 1 visit |
| California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) Aim 2.1 | The California Verbal Learning Test - Third Edition (CVLT-III) is a comprehensive assessment of verbal learning and memory. It produces a variety of scores, including: d' score A raw score that reflects the difference between the hit rate (signal) and the false positive (FP) rate (noise). The d' score is calculated by subtracting the FP rate from the hit rate, after applying a z-transform to each. Total RD A score that can range from +4.0 to -4.0. A high score indicates a high number of hits and a low number of FP errors, while a low score indicates a low number of hits and a high number of FP errors. Scaled scores Scores that are adjusted for age and gender using the CVLT-3 standardization sample norms. T-scores Scores that are derived from scaled scores and demographic information using look-up tables. T-scores are a comparison of an individual's memory performance to what is expected based on their demographics. | Baseline to month 1 visit |

| Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Short Form v2.0 - Physical Function Aim 2.1 | Change in PROMIS Short Form v2.0 - Physical Function score PROMIS Physical Function instruments measure self-reported capability rather than actual performance of physical activities. The PROMIS short form v2.0 Physical function instrument is consists of 22 questions, each question has five response options ranging in value from one to five. The lowest possible raw score is 22 and the highest possible raw score is 113. PROMIS instruments are scored using item-level calibrations. Scoring method uses responses to each item for each participant, referred to as "response pattern scoring." Tables showing score conversion are available in the PROMIS manual. Use the applicable table to translate the total raw score into a T-score for each participant. The T-score rescales the raw score into a standardized T-score with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation (SD) of 10. A higher PROMIS T-score represents more of the concept being measured. | Baseline to month 6 visit |
| Patient Global Impression of Change Aim 2.1 | Change in Patient Global Impression of Change score The Patient Global Impression of Change scale is a single, self-administered question asking respondents to rate how their condition has changed since a certain point in time. It is a patient-reported outcome measure that can be used to assess treatment benefit in clinical trials or practice. It is based on the Clinical Global Impression of Change scale, which is an observer-rated scale of symptom severity and treatment response. The scale ranges from 1 (no change or worse) to 7 (a great deal better). | Baseline to month 6 visit |
| California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) Aim 2.1 | The California Verbal Learning Test - Third Edition (CVLT-III) is a comprehensive assessment of verbal learning and memory. It produces a variety of scores, including: d' score A raw score that reflects the difference between the hit rate (signal) and the false positive (FP) rate (noise). The d' score is calculated by subtracting the FP rate from the hit rate, after applying a z-transform to each. Total RD A score that can range from +4.0 to -4.0. A high score indicates a high number of hits and a low number of FP errors, while a low score indicates a low number of hits and a high number of FP errors. Scaled scores Scores that are adjusted for age and gender using the CVLT-3 standardization sample norms. T-scores Scores that are derived from scaled scores and demographic information using look-up tables. T-scores are a comparison of an individual's memory performance to what is expected based on their demographics. | Baseline to month 6 visit |
| Grey matter volumes of the cingulate cortex and other prefrontal cortex regions Aim 2.2 | Change in the structural brain MRI baseline grey matter volumes of the cingulate cortex and other prefrontal cortex regions at 6 months. The investigators will use linear mixed effect and coefficient measures, and include sex, age, opioid medications, and duration of CP as confounders and as effect modifiers. Investigators will also estimate linear and non-linear trajectories. | Baseline and 6 months |
