Article Synopsis
- Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic disorder affecting 3-6% of the general population, primarily women, causing severe pain and evaluated for the relationship between vitamin D, serotonin, and FMS severity.
- A study with 40 participants assessed medical history and used the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) to determine severity, revealing that 42.5% had mild/moderate FMS while the rest were severe/extreme, with lower serotonin levels linked to higher severity.
- The study found a significant negative relationship between serotonin levels and FMS severity, but no significant link between vitamin D levels and severity scores.
