Summary

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a disabling chronic disorder characterized by widespread muscle pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points, specific places on the body that become painful with only slight pressure. Pain associated with FM cannot be explained medically, often leading to a delayed diagnosis and delayed treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how the nervous system, specifically the brain, processes pain in women with FM.
