The Relationship Between Serum S100B and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive symptoms. Central sensitization is considered a key mechanism in the pathophysiology of fibromyalgia; however, the underlying biological markers have not been fully clarified. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and S100B protein have been suggested to …
Vestibular Innovation in Pain 2
Fibromyalgia is the most common centralized pain disorder, affecting up to 3% of the population. Current treatments are incompletely effective, often poorly tolerated, and costly: there remains an urgent need for novel, effective, and well-tolerated therapy. Preliminary data suggests that vestibulocortical stimulation (VCS), or irrigating the external ear canal with …
Effect of Reflexology on Pain and Sleep Disorders in Females With Fibromyalgia
This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effect of foot reflexology on pain and sleep disorders in Egyptian female patients with fibromyalgia. Sixty female participants aged 18 to 65 years diagnosed with fibromyalgia will be randomly assigned into two equal groups. The control group will receive conventional physical therapy, …
Physiotherapy Methods for Fibromyalgia
The aim of our study was to examine and compare the effects of different physiotherapy methods, namely connective tissue massage, transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation and both, on pain, health status, sleep quality, fatigue, psychosocial status, autonomic symptoms and quality of life in women with fibromyalgia.
Effectiveness of Oral Magnesium Supplementation in Fibromyalgia Patients Not Responding to Standard Treatment
Fibromyalgia is a complex widespread pain disorder. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness of oral magnesium supplementation in reducing symptom severity among fibromyalgia patients who have not responded to standard treatment, using validated scoring systems such as the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire Revised (FIQR).
Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Pain and Autonomic Dysfunction in Fibromyalgia (RESET-FMS)
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic pain condition characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, cognitive symptoms, and autonomic dysfunction, significantly impairing quality of life. Increasing evidence suggests that, beyond central pain dysregulation, patients with FMS frequently exhibit autonomic nervous system dysfunction, characterized by sympathetic nervous system (SNS) hyperactivity at …
EEG Prediction and Clinical Efficacy of tDCS in Fibromyalgia.
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the non-inferiority, and possible superiority, of a high-dose home-based tDCS protocol compared with a conventional home-based protocol, and to assess its cost-effectiveness, in patients with fibromyalgia. As complementary goals, we aim to assess the predictive value of baseline EEG for …
Self-guided Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-based Digital Smartphone Application for Management of Fibromyalgia
Introduction: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a prevalent syndrome that lacks curative treatment, imposing high healthcare and societal costs. The SMART-FM-Spain study investigates the effectiveness, physiological effects, and cost-utility of a self-guided digital intervention (STANZA-Spain) based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for patients with FM. Methodology: Six-month, 3-arm randomized controlled trial …
Duloxetine Metabolism and Fibromyalgia
People with fibromyalgia report generalized body pain ("pain all over"), increased sensitivity to painful stimulation, chronic tiredness or low energy, sleep problems, and other physical and functional problems. The exact cause of the disorder is poorly understood, and treatment can be difficult. The degree to which duloxetine is helpful for …
Evaluation of the Effect of Wet Cupping (Hijama) on Primary Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia has become one of the most prevalent chronic pain conditions that impair quality of life. Wet cupping has gained increasing popularity in treating painful conditions. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of wet cupping therapy combined with home-based exercise compared to home-based exercise alone in improving patients diagnosed …
