Postural control deficits are a potential cause of persistent and recurrent pain in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Although some studies have confirmed that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) contributes to pain regulation in CLBP, its role in the postural control of patients with CLBP remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the DLPFC activation of patients with CLBP and healthy controls under different upright stance task conditions.
