Fibromyalgia pain and some forms of chronic pain may result from insulin resistance. Our latest study may put us on the right track to more effective treatments. By Pappolla MA et al PlosOne in press
A research study led by Dr. Pappolla and other investigators across the United States, including the National Institutes of Health, were able for the first time, to segregate a population of patients with fibromyalgia from normal controls based on a modification of a common laboratory test. This discovery may shed light on the cause of some forms of chronic pain including fibromyalgia. Preliminary research also showed a dramatic symptom improvement as a result of a novel pharmacological treatment. Here is a fast take of our findings which could lead to a paradigm shift on how to treat some forms of chronic pain. The study was accepted in the prestigious medical journal PlosOne and the full paper will be published soon. Click here to read more:
