DIFFUSE PAIN IN FIBROMYALGIA: FROM NEUROPHYSIOLOGY TO CLINICAL
OBSERVATION
Serge Marchand, PhD, Director of Pain Research, Université de Sherbrooke, Faculty of Medicine, Neurosurgery,
Sherbrooke, Québec
Patients suffering from fibromyalgia present diffuse pain symptoms that are not characteristics of neurogenic pain.
However, some neurophysiological mechanisms, such as a disturbance of endogenous pain modulation systems, may help
understanding the mechanisms implicated. During this talk I will introduce some of our work on different factors that are
affecting the efficacy of these endogenous pain modulation mechanisms and discuss how diffuse pain may result from a
central imbalance in endogenous excitatory and inhibitory mechanisms. Recent data will be presented supporting our
understanding of the neurophysiological mechanisms of diffuse pain in fibromyalgia with some references to the clinical
signs observed in the fibromyalgia patients.
