A Systematic Overview of Reviews for Complementary and Alternative Therapies in the Treatment of the Fibromyalgia Syndrome
Objectives. This systematic overview of reviews aimed to summarize evidence and methodological quality from systematic reviews of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for the fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). Methods. The PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases were screened from their inception to Sept 2013 to identify systematic reviews and meta-analyses of CAM interventions for FMS. Methodological quality of reviews was rated using the AMSTAR ...

A comparison of the clinical manifestation and pathophysiology of myofascial pain syndrome
and fibromyalgia: implications for differential diagnosis and management
Abstract
Two prominent forms of chronic musculoskeletal pain disorders are fibromyalgia (FM) and myofascial pain
syndrome (MPS). Inconsistent diagnosis of chronic musculoskeletal pain is an important clinical issue, as MPS is often mistaken for FM. Distinction between the two diagnoses depends largely on identification of either tender points or myofascial trigger points in FM and MPS, respectively. However, ...

Metformin and caloric restriction induce an AMPK-dependent restoration of mitochondrial dysfunction in fibroblasts from Fibromyalgia patients
Abstract
Impaired AMPK is associated with a wide spectrum of clinical and pathological conditions, ranging from obesity,
altered responses to exercise or metabolic syndrome, to inflammation, disturbed mitochondrial biogenesis and
defective response to energy stress. Fibromyalgia (FM) is a world-wide diffused musculoskeletal chronic pain
condition that affects up to 5% of the general population and comprises all the above mentioned pathophysi...

Fibromyalgia and unexplained widespread pain: The idiopathic cerebrospinal pressure dysregulation hypothesis
ABSTRACT
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a debilitating, widespread pain disorder that is assumed to originate from inappropriate
pain processing in the central nervous system. Psychological and behavioral factors are both believed to underlie
the pathogenesis and complicate the treatment. This hypothesis, however, has not yet been sufficiently supported by scientific evidence and accumulating evidence supports a peripheral neurological origin of the symptoms.
We postulate that FM and ...

Effects of Vitamin D Therapy on Quality of Life in Patients with Fibromyalgia
ABSTRACT Objective: The role of vitamin D in the etiopathogenesis of fibromyalgia and non-specific musculoskeletal pain is controversial. In our study, we aimed to investigate the effect of vitamin D therapy on quality of life in patients with fibromyalgia.
Materials and Methods: Seventy patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia and 65 age- and sex-matched controls were included in the study. Patients were grouped as deficient (<20 ng/mL), inadequate (20-30 ng/mL), and sufficient (>30 ng/mL) according to the ...

Effects of vitamin D optimization on quality of life of patients with fibromyalgia: A randomized controlled trial
Abstract
Background: Numerous studies have been conducted to evaluate the frequency of hypovitaminosis D in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and its association with FMS symptoms. This study aimed at assessing the effect of hypovitaminosis D on the symptoms and quality of life of patients with fibromyalgia.
Methods: A total of 74 FMS patients with hypovitaminosis D were randomly assigned into group A (Trazodone 25 mg at bedtime + vitamin D 50 000 IU weekly) and ...
