Abstract in brief

  • Several studies have found small fiber neuropathy in fibromyalgia patients, which could change how the condition is diagnosed and treated.
  • The discovery supports the idea that fibromyalgia is a neurological disorder related to stress and nerve damage, rather than just a centralized pain syndrome.
  • New diagnostic tools like skin biopsies and corneal confocal microscopy, along with targeted medications such as sodium channel blockers, may improve management and treatment outcomes for fibromyalgia. ]

Researchers found small fiber #neuropathy present in a large subgroup of #Fibromyalgia patients, perhaps shifting how the medical community may think about fibromyalgia. #chronicpain #COVID #longcovid #nervepain #neurology See https://t.co/fB7jP2t3mO
