- Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) and temporal summation (TS) tests assess pain inhibition and pain sensitivity in fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), but their clinical relevance is debated.
- A study reviewed nine trials involving 484 participants and analyzed the relationship between changes in CPM/TS tests and clinical improvements in FMS after various treatments.
- Results indicated that while overall changes in TS and CPM were not significant due to conflicting effects from different interventions, non-pharmacological treatments particularly helped normalize CPM/TS levels, suggesting these tests could serve as biomarkers for effective FMS management.
