Study Shows: Specific Brain Waves Oscillations May be Associated with Fibromyalgia Symptoms

October 30, 2019

A fresh U.K. studies It indicates that in a tiny group of female patients because it seems that oscillations or differences in particular brain waves correlate with fibromyalgia (FM) pain symptoms and exhaustion.

So, the European Journal of Pain contained the research findings "Altered theta oscillations in the resting EEG of the patients with a fibromyalgia syndrome."

Earlier studies showed that fibromyalgia and other chronic
diseases can influence the activity of the brain. Many experimental studies
cannot, however, determine whether modified brain activity is due to acute pain
assaults or reflects a continuous sensitization status.

In the present research, resting brain activity was
evaluated in order to better comprehend the connection between fibromyalgia and
oscillation of the brain.

Therefore the scientists examined variations in recording between 19 female fibromyalgia and 18 age-related healthy controls, using electroencephalographic recordings (EEG). The participants ' average age was 40 years.

Different wavelength oscillations were evaluated. The delta,
theta, alpha, beta, and gamma bands were included.

The team also used the Manual Tender Point Scale (MTPS) to quantify pain and sensitivity, and other measuring instruments to evaluate mood, excitement and exhaustion in order to correlate the outcomes with fibromyalgia-associated symptoms.

Fibromyalgia patients reported greater pain and lower mood
levels and were considerably tired of healthier respondents as anticipated.

With regard to brain activity, patients with fibromyalgia
had greater concentrations in prefrontal cortex theta activity than healthy
controls and anterior cingulate cortex areas.

Oscillations have been shown to decrease pain inhibition in both the Medial Prefrontal Cortex and the Anterior Cingulate Cortex.

Importantly, the enhanced brain theta activity was
associated with pain, sensitivity and fatigue measurement on test day of this
tiny cohort of female fibromyalgia patients. There were no correlations in good
checks between these measures and brain activity.

"The results show, in brain areas, which are applicable
to cognitively-attentional elements of pain processing and endogenous
inhibition" the scientists wrote that changes to re stop-state oscillatory
activities could relate to continuing tonic pain and fatigue.

However "Increased prefrontal theta activity can contribute to permanent fibromyalgia pain or to long-term symptoms," they said. Therefore the team indicates that therapeutic procedures to normalize neural oscillations may contribute to a reduction in the symptoms of fibromyalgia patients.

Before taking any medication always concern your health care provider and it is important to be diagnosed correctly. Stay Healthizes!
