Abnormal functional neurocircuitry underpinning emotional processing in fibromyalgia
European Archives of Psychiatry and Clinical Neuroscience - Fibromyalgia, a condition characterized by chronic pain, is frequently accompanied by emotional disturbances. Here we aimed to study...
These results suggest abnormal brain activation and connectivity underlying emotion processing in fibromyalgia, which could help explain the high prevalence of psychopathological symptoms in this condition.
Fibromyalgia is characterized by altered frontal and cerebellar structural covariance brain networks
Altered brain morphometry has been widely acknowledged in chronic pain, and recent studies have implicated altered network dynamics, as opposed to pro…
About half of a small group of patients with fibromyalgia — a common syndrome that causes chronic pain and other symptoms — were found to have damage to nerve fibers in their skin and other evidence of a disease called small-fiber polyneuropathy.
A review of the evidence that fibromyalgia is associated with a disruption of dopaminergic neurotransmission together with a discussion of its therapeutic implications.
