Modafinil Reduces Neuronal Pyroptosis and Cognitive Decline After Sleep Deprivation
Modafinil Reduces Neuronal Pyroptosis and Cognitive Decline After Sleep Deprivation
Sleep deprivation (SD) induces systemic inflammation that promotes neuronal pyroptosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of an antioxidant modafinil on neuronal pyroptosis and cognitive decline following SD. Using a mouse model ...
reduced proinflammatory factor (IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6) production, and increased the expression of anti-inflammatory factors (IL-10).
This probably speaks to its role in combating pain in FMS.

Impact of mast cells in fibromyalgia and low-grade chronic inflammation: Can IL-37 play a role? - PubMed
Impact of mast cells in fibromyalgia and low-grade chronic inflammation: Can IL-37 play a role? - PubMed
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a disease characterized by chronic widespread pain, fatigue, aches, joint stiffness, depression, cognitive dysfunction, and nonrestorative sleep. In FM, neurotransmission and glial activation can occur with an increase in inflammatory cytokines and involvement of mast cells (MCs …

Evidence of both systemic inflammation and neuroinflammation in fibromyalgia patients, as assessed by a multiplex protein panel applied to the cerebrospinal fluid and to plasma
Evidence of both systemic inflammation and neuroinflammation in fibromyalgia patients, as assessed by a multiplex protein panel applied to the cerebrospinal fluid and to plasma
In addition to central hyperexcitability and impaired top–down modulation, chronic inflammation probably plays a role in the pathophysiology of fibromyalgia (FM). Indeed, on the basis of both animal experiments and human studies involving the ...

Is fibromyalgia associated with a unique cytokine profile? A systematic review and meta-analysis
Is fibromyalgia associated with a unique cytokine profile? A systematic review and meta-analysis
We found evidence of significant differences in the peripheral blood cytokine profiles of fibromyalgia patients compared with HC. However, the distinctive profile associated with fibromyalgia includes both pro-inflammatory (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10) cytokines in pooled analysis, as well as chemokine (eotaxin) signatures. Further research is required to elucidate the role of cytokines in fibromyalgia.

Metal-induced inflammation triggers fibromyalgia in metal-allergic patients - PubMed
Metal-induced inflammation triggers fibromyalgia in metal-allergic patients - PubMed
Note: I have a nickel allergy, but no longer knowingly come into contact with nickel, unless it's hidden in a lot of things.
Results: All FM patients tested positive to at least one of the metals tested. The most frequent reactions were to nickel, followed by inorganic mercury, cadmium and lead. Some healthy controls responded to inorganic mercury in vitro but most of the tests were negative. Objective examination 5 years later showed that half of the patients no longer fulfilled the FM diagnosis, 20% had improved and the remaining 30% still had FM. All patients reported subjective health improvement. This correlated with the normalisation of metal-specific responses in vitro. Conclusion: Metal allergy is frequent in FM patients. The reduction of metal exposure resulted in improved health in the majority of metal-sensitized patients. This suggests that metal-induced inflammation might be an important risk factor in a subset of patients with FM.
