Sphygmomanometry-evoked allodynia--a simple bedside test indicative of fibromyalgia: a multicenter developmental study.

Background: One of the 2 classification criteria for fibromyalgia (FM) is the presence of tender points on specific anatomic sites. It has been established that these tender points reflect a state of generalized allodynia (defined as pain resulting from a stimulus that does not normally provoke pain). Patients with FM often describe pain elicitation during blood pressure testing (sphygmomanometry).

Musician's cramp: a case report and literature review.

Musician's focal dystonia is a motor dysfunction that appears in artists after years of repetitive and fine movements during performance. This is the condition most feared by musicians because it leads to difficulties in controlling movements, which can interrupt or terminate their careers. It is characterized by the onset of involuntary muscle contractions and movements; its distinguishing feature is that it only occurs during a specific and well-defined action.
