Fibromyalgia Leads To Decrease In Brain Function

Mr. Sharma is never sure why his neck aches all the time. It was in late 2014 that the pain started. He applied some cold packs and the pain went away for a few hours. But then it always returned. Recently the pain increased after a minor car accident. He took the required medication but the pain remained. Was the doctor wrong or was it all in his head?

This could be the effect of Fibromyalgia.

No one knows why Fibromyalgia occurs. It is a common and a chronic disease that mostly strikes in the middle age. While men and children can have it, the vast majority of people with Fibromyalgia are women. Fibromyalgia affects nearly 5 million people.

Sufferers typically have fatigue with long-term pain in several areas of the body, along with tenderness in soft tissues such as the muscles, joints and tendons.

The latest research

In a study published in the journal Brain Connectivity, researchers took fMRI scans of 22 healthy
women and compared the images to that of 16 female Fibromyalgia patients. The day before the scans, the women completed tests to calibrate their pain sensitivity. A computer-controlled pressure stimulator applied pressure to their left thumb, while they rated the sensitivity.

The result

When the researchers analyzed the brain scans, they found differences in brain patterns between the healthy participants and those with Fibromyalgia. The Fibromyalgia participants showed "functional decoupling" between areas of the brain that process pain signals. The authors suggest this reduction in brain connectivity could impair pain perception.

Living with Fibromyalgia

Life with Fibromyalgia can be a challenge. But you can take steps to proactively manage your health. An active lifestyle may help you decrease your Fibromyalgia symptoms. Another helpful skill is stress management. Using techniques like meditation and Yoga, you can learn how to control stress in your daily life. Make sure you eat healthy nutrient-rich food and get regular sleep. Remember to visit your doctor regularly and seek his professional advice.
