Endometriosis, RA, And IBD Increase Fibromyalgia Risk, Study SuggestsTuesday 11 June 2019
Endometriosis, RA, and IBD Increase Fibromyalgia Risk, Study Suggests Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), endometriosis, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) increase the chances of a person developing fibromyalgia and chronic widespread pain later in life, a study says. The study, “A diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, endometriosis or IBD is associated with later onset of fibromyalgia and chronic widespread pain,” was published in the European Journal of Pain. Widespread pain, a common feature among many chronic disorders, is thought to be caused by an underlying disease that triggers a state of central sensitization — where patients develop pain hypersensitivity because of repeated pain episodes. “However, this argument is currently limited by evidence that has not sufficiently captured the temporal nature of the relationship between diagnosis of the underlying disease and onset of widespread pain,” the investigators wrote.
