Abstract

This article examines the biological, genetic, and environmental aspects of fibromyalgia that may have an impact on its pathogenesis. Symptoms of fibromyalgia may be related to aberrations in the endogenous inhibition of pain as well as changes in the central processing of sensory input. Genetic research has revealed familial aggregation of fibromyalgia and other related disorders like major depressive disorder. Dysfunctional pain processing may also be influenced by exposure to physical or psychological stressors, abnormal biologic reactions in the autonomic nervous system, and neuroendocrine responses. With more research the pathophysiology of fibromyalgia will be better understood, leading to more logical and focused treatment options for fibromyalgia patients.
