Abstract in brief

  • The study investigates neuroinflammation in fibromyalgia (FM) patients compared to healthy controls using a specific imaging technique, finding higher neuroinflammation levels in several brain regions of FM patients.
  • Results showed significant differences in the right postcentral gyrus, occipital gray matter, and temporal gray matter, as well as a notable difference in the left isthmus of the cingulate gyrus.
  • The findings suggest that FM is linked to microglia-mediated neuroinflammation, which correlates with worsened quality of life and increased pain severity in patients.
