Primary Fibromyalgia:A Clinical and Laboratory Study of 55 Patients

Abstract: The clinical symptoms of 55 patients with primary fibromyalgia (PF) were studied and compared with 30 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The PF patients expressed a more intense feeling of illness than did the RA patients. Stiffness occurred just as often in PF as in RA. Trigger points occurred less frequently in RA patients. Muscular fatigue appeared to be one of the most disabling symptoms in PF. Neurophysiological studies indicated that the fatigue was at least partly of central origin. Ischemic forea… Show more

“…Pour les sujets fibromyalgiques, la valeur moyenne est de 7,05 AE 2,8 Nmrad -1 du côté le plus raide et de 6,16 AE 2,4 Nmrad -1 du côté le moins raide (t = 1,232, p = 0,253). Pour les sujets témoins, la valeur médiane [25-75 e percentile] est de 7,70 Nmrad -1 [5,[4][5][6][7][8]9] du côté le plus raide et de 5,55 Nmrad -1 [4,[2][3][4][5][6][7]8] du côté le moins raide (W = -31, p = 0,074). En revanche, les valeurs de k vi ont permis de mettre en évidence une différence hautement significative entre les deux côtés chez les sujets fibromyalgiques.…”

“…These results demon- strate that the MOR gene product is the major molecular target for morphine activity in vivo and demonstrate that mu receptors are essential in mediating both desired and adverse effects of the prototypal opiate (rev. in (2)). Pharmacological studies using delta opioids suggests low in vivo selectivity for prototypal compounds under classical experimental conditions.…”
