BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Widespread pain sensitivity in patients with FM suggests a
CNS processing problem. The purpose of this study was to assess alterations in perfusion …

This paper examines the use of neuroimaging to measure change in regional cerebral blood
flow (rCBF) produced by pain in patients with fibromyalgia and in healthy individuals …

Objective To determine whether regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) is abnormal in any
cerebral structure of women with fibromyalgia (FM), following a report that rCBF is reduced …

Objective. This study analyzed the temporal dynamics of cerebral blood flow (CBF)
modulations, during painful stimulation in fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), using functional …

Objectives Increased cerebral blood flow during processing of acute pain has repeatedly
been observed in fibromyalgia syndrome. The study investigated the time dynamics of the …

To study the CNS in chronic muscular pain typical of fibromyalgia we compared PET
measures of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in eight fibromyalgic patients and controls …

Objectives: Technetium‐99m ethyl cysteinate dimer (Tc‐99m ECD) brain single photon
emission computed tomography (SPECT) has been used to detect abnormal regional …

Brain imaging studies have provided objective evidence of abnormal central regulation of
pain in fibromyalgia (FM). Resting brain blood flow studies have reported mixed findings for …

Objectives: Compare resting state regional cerebral blood flow [rCBF] in patients with
fibromyalgia [FMS], non-patients with FMS, and healthy controls as a function of insidious or …

Studies with functional neuroimaging support the hypothesis of central pain augmentation in
fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) with functional differences in areas of the medial pain system …
