OBJECTIVE
To evaluate whether mild water-filtered near infrared whole-body hyperthermia (NI-WBH) produces an additional benefit when applied as an adjunct to a standard multimodal rehabilitation (MR) compared with MR only in patients with fibromyalgia (FM).
METHODS
One hundred thirty-nine patients
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether mild water-filtered near infrared whole body hyperthermia in patients with fibromyalgia produces a benefit when applied as an addition to a standard multimodal rehabilitation.
METHODS
In this study 67 patients at a German rehabilitation clinic
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether chronic lower body pain in a subpopulation of patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is due directly to the musculoskeletal manifestations of FMF or whether they are connected to mechanical problems in the low back and leg/foot or to other factors operative
OBJECTIVE
To determine the prevalence of juvenile fibromyalgia syndrome (JFMS) in children with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and to evaluate quality of life (QoL) and depression.
METHODS
Ninety-one FMF patients (M/F: 44/47) who fulfilled the Livneh criteria and 60 healthy children (M/F: 27/33)
BACKGROUND
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a multi-factorial disease involving physiological as well as psychological factors. The aim of the study was to investigate a multidisciplinary inpatient treatment with emphasis on hyperthermia therapy by patients with widespread pain.
METHODS
The study
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain syndrome with a high incidence in females that may involve activation of the immune system. We performed exome sequencing on chemokine genes in a region of chromosome 17 identified in a genome-wide family association study.
Exome sequence analysis of 100 FM
BACKGROUND
It is known that there is a relationship between systemic inflammation and atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is one of the best-known causes of cerebrovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to assess cerebral blood flow velocity using transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography in
BACKGROUND
A guideline for the treatment and diagnostic procedures for fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) was developed in cooperation with 10 German medical and psychological associations and 2 patient self-help groups.
METHODS
A systematic literature search including all controlled studies evaluating
Polymyalgia rheumatism and fibromyalgia are clinically similar. As there are no specific diagnostic markers, they are difficult to distinguish. A 92-year-old woman with a 3-month history of general pain, including left hip pain, was referred to our hospital. Her medical history included polymyalgia
Fifty patients with primary fibromyalgia who had been followed in an academic rheumatology practice frequently reported symptoms thought to be typical of "chronic Epstein-Barr virus infection," but not of fibromyalgia: recurrent sore throat (54%), recurrent rash (47%), chronic cough (40%), recurrent
When a 36-year-old woman with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) underwent the tuberculin test, urticaria developed on her trunk at 30 min after intradermal injection of purified protein derivative. Although the urticaria resolved, fever, facial edema, and generalized urticaria occurred after 8 h. A
"Rheumatoid" subcutaneous nodules that were at one time considered diagnostic of rheumatoid arthritis or rheumatic fever have also been found in individuals withoug known disease, in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, and in other conditions. In this report, subcutaneous nodules were
Hyperthermia is a method applied in the treatment of many diseases, including rheumatic diseases. There are relatively few reports concerning the role of that method in the treatment of these diseases, and most studies have not been randomised. Hyperthermia includes directed application of thermal
