Neuroimaging study reveals neurovascular coupling may be at the root of chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and other disorders.
Using eyeglasses that filter a specific wavelength on the green light spectrum reduces pain-related anxiety and could decrease the need for opioids for those with fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions.
TENS nerve stimulation resulted in significant improvements in movement-related pain and fatigue in women who suffer from fibromyalgia.
Using a range of clinical techniques, including deep learning, researcher identify changes in the microbiome of people with fibromyalgia which were not associated with diet, medications or aging. Additionally, the severity of symptoms was directly correlated with an increased presence, or more pronounced absence, of certain bacterias.
Study finds a pathogenic relationship between insulin resistance and fibromyalgia. Treating fibromyalgia with metformin, a drug that combats insulin resistance, resulted in a dramatic reduction of pain levels for patients.
The herpes simplex virus 1, the virus responsible for cold sores, may account for 50% of Alzheimer's disease cases. HSV1 causes protein deposits which are characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. Findings also reveal antiviral treatments can help to reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's in those with HSV1.
A new biomarker for fibromyalgia has been identified in blood samples taken from patients suffering from the condition.
A new study reveals elevated glial activation in the brains of those with fibromyalgia.
University of Michigan researchers report hyperreactive brain networks may play a role in hypersensitivity associated with fibromyalgia.
Neuroimaging study reveals people who report widespread pain have increased gray matter and functional connectivity in sensory and motor areas of the brain.
The microglia in women's brains are more active in regions involved in pain processing, a new study reports.
A new study reports 20 minutes of moderate exercise can act as an anti-inflammatory. The findings could be beneficial for those with inflammatory diseases such as fibromyalgia and arthritis.
