Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the primary motor cortex (M1) and dorsolateral prefrontal seem to improve pain other symptoms of fibromyalgia (FM), although evidence on effectiveness tDCS optimal target is not robust enough. Our main objective was establish area stimulation, comparing 2 classical targets a novel pain-related area, operculo-insular cortex, in sham-controlled trial. Using double-blind design, we randomly assigned 130 women with FM 4 treatment groups (M1,...
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain syndrome with strong impact on quality of life (QoL). Treatment this condition remains challenge, due to the scarce evidence for effectiveness therapeutic approaches available. Current attention focused transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), which has yielded promising results treatment. Rather than focusing only relief, in study, we aimed determine how active or sham tDCS (over three cortical targets -the primary motor cortex, dorsolateral...
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a generalized chronic pain condition associated with variety of symptoms, including altered cognitive and emotional processing. It has been proposed that FM patients show preferential allocation attention to information related the symptoms disease, particularly cues. However, existing literature does not provide conclusive evidence on presence this attentional bias, its effect functions such as inhibitory control. To clarify issue, we recorded electroencephalographic...
Background Cognitive dysfunction in fibromyalgia (FM) encompasses objective cognitive difficulties, as measured neuropsychological tests, and self-reported complaints. Although it has been suggested that FM patients display problems working memory, the data are inconsistent, overall memory status of is unclear. It also not clear whether related to complaints or how dyscognition affected by characteristic clinical symptoms FM. Methods To clarify these aspects, we explored performance for...
Abstract Objectives The present pilot study aims to investigate DNA methylation changes of genes related fibromyalgia (FM) development and its main comorbid symptoms, including sleep impairment, inflammation, depression other psychiatric disorders. Epigenetic modifications might trigger or perpetuate complex interplay between pain transduction/transmission, central processing experienced stressors in vulnerable individuals. Methods We conducted analysis by targeted bisulfite NGS sequencing...
Working memory (WM) is a critical process for cognitive functioning in which fibromyalgia (FM) patients could show disturbances. Dyscognition FM has been explained by interference from pain processing, shares the neural substrates involved cognition and may capture resources required to perform tasks. However, there not yet data about how related WM performance, neither role that other clinical variables have. The objectives of this study were (1) clarify status with its relationship...
Aim:Patients often come up with highly important information at the least opportune moment, while standing in door, about to leave consulting room.This causes delays and late running clinics.In primary care this happens between 21 36% of consultations [1,2].In pain medicine dimension is not known.Can improved skills help?
