Tramadol decreased activation in the supramarginal gyrus during observation of other's pain compared with placebo. Supramarginal gyrus activation correlated negatively with the thermal pain threshold. Tramadol decreased activation in angular gyrus in cognitive empathy for pain compared
with placebo but did not change brain activity in emotional empathy for pain.
