Characterizing fibromyalgia flares: a prospective observational study.

Introduction: Although most patients with fibromyalgia describe periods of exacerbation of their symptomatology, there are very few studies describing its characteristics.

Material And Methods: We recruited a total of 124 patients from our outpatient clinics who agreed to a follow-up of at least 6 months. All of them were asked to note and describe whether they had had any worsening of their symptoms during that time.

Modification of Alpha Brain Oscillatory Activity in Fibromyalgia After Very Low Intensity Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation.

Background: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic disease, with no effective treatments for this disorder. The origin is suspected to be a misprocessing of signals in the central nervous system. One of the experimental treatments is very low intensity transcranial magnetic stimulation (LITMS) used to perform central neuromodulation.

Improvement of digestive symptoms in fibromyalgia patients following a diet modification according to histamine release test - an observational study.

Introduction: There is growing interest in the relationship between fibromyalgia and processes related to food, such as food intolerances. In fact, different associations have been described between the control of dietary habits and the improvement of the different symptoms of fibromyalgia.

Material And Methods: We collected the results of applying a specific test of histamine release related to the diet of patients with fibromyalgia, and evaluated the changes in terms of the symptoms usually described by the patients.

Modification in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index after low intensity transcranial magnetic stimulation in patients with fibromyalgia.

Objectives: Fibromyalgia is a disease of unknown origin in which sleep involvement is very prevalent, and one of the main symptoms, even as prevalent as pain. In fact, one condition has been linked to the other, and the two may feedback on each other. We investigated what happens if by applying low-field magnetic stimulation in patients with fibromyalgia, it could improve sleep variables, and if this would be related to an improvement in the pain of the patients.
