Autonomic dysfunction in patients with fibromyalgia: application of power spectral analysis of heart rate variability.
TLDR
The basal autonomic state of patients with FM is characterized by increased sympathetic and decreased parasympathetic tones, which may have implications regarding the symptomatology, physical and psychological aspects of health status.About:

Systematic review of the comorbidity of irritable bowel syndrome with other disorders: what are the causes and implications?
TL;DR: Multivariate statistical analyses suggest that gastrointestinal disorders, psychiatric disorders, and nongastrointestinal somatic disorders are distinct disorders and not manifestations of a common somatization disorder, but their strong comorbidity suggests a common feature important to their expression, which is most likely psychological.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep and pain
TL;DR: There is a reciprocal relationship between sleep quality and pain, and the recognition of disturbed or unrefreshing sleep influences the management of painful medical disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fibromyalgia: an overview.
TL;DR: The vastly improved understanding of the mechanism underlying fibromyalgia and the related spectrum of diseases has fostered rapid advances in the therapy of these chronic pain disorders by both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms underlying development of spatially distributed chronic pain (fibromyalgia).
TL;DR: It appears that central mechanisms of FM pain are dependent on abnormal peripheral input(s) for development and maintenance of this condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurobiology of depression, fibromyalgia and neuropathic pain.
TL;DR: Recent data suggesting that the high rates of comorbidity observed between major depression, fibromyalgia and neuropathic pain likely result from the fact that these disorders share multiple biological and environmental underpinnings are synthesized.

A global measure of perceived stress.
TL;DR: The Perceived Stress Scale showed adequate reliability and, as predicted, was correlated with life-event scores, depressive and physical symptomatology, utilization of health services, social anxiety, and smoking-reduction maintenance and was a better predictor of the outcome in question than were life- event scores.
