Major Fibromyalgia Muscle Study Points to the Mitochondria
Reduced ATP levels in the muscles suggests that mitochondrial problems are causing pain in fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions.
Painfully High Muscle Pressures in Fibromyalgia Put Old Paradigm to the Test
Muscle pressures three times normal in fibromyalgia suggest that reduced blood flows to the muscle are causing pain and fatigue in FM. They also suggest that the central sensitization cannot explain everything in fibromyalgia.
Muscle Study Finds Key Differences in Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
Chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia show differing patterns of abnormal muscle activation - suggesting that one is caused by aerobic energy production problems and the other primarily by central nervous system problems.
