Article Synopsis
  • Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) causes chronic pain and is often linked to traumatic experiences like childhood sexual abuse (CSA), making it a focus for treatment studies.
  • A study tested hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) against standard medications (Pregabalin and Duloxetine) in 48 FMS patients with CSA history, measuring outcomes like pain impacts and emotional well-being.
  • Results showed HBOT significantly improved FMS symptoms more than medications, with associated changes in brain activity suggesting HBOT enhances neuroplasticity in relevant brain areas.
