Chronic Pain/Fibromyalgia and Premature Brain Aging The following are quotes from a very important research article ( bolds and colors added by Dr. Z.) Accelerated Brain Gray Matter Loss in Fibromyalgia Patients: Premature Aging of the Brain? Beginning of quotes: Fibromyalgia is an intractable widespread pain disorder that is most frequently diagnosed in women. It has traditionally been classified as either a musculoskeletal disease or a psychological disorder. Accumulating evidence now suggests that fibromyalgia may be associated with CNS dysfunction. In this study, we investigate anatomical changes in the brain associated with fibromyalgia. Using voxel-based morphometric analysis of magnetic resonance brain images, we examined the brains of 10 female fibromyalgia patients and 10 healthy controls. We found that fibromyalgia patients had significantly less total gray matter volume and showed a 3.3 times greater age-associated decrease in gray matter than healthy controls. The longer the individuals had had fibromyalgia, the greater the gray matter loss, with each year of fibromyalgia being equivalent to 9.5 times the loss in normal aging. In addition, fibromyalgia patients demonstrated significantly less gray matter density than healthy controls in several brain regions, including the cingulate, insular and medial frontal cortices, and parahippocampal gyri. The neuroanatomical changes that we see in fibromyalgia patients contribute additional evidence of CNS involvement in fibromyalgia. In particular, fibromyalgia appears to be associated with an acceleration of age-related changes in the very substance of the brain. Moreover, the regions in which we demonstrate objective changes may be functionally linked to core features of the disorder including affective disturbances and chronic widespread pain. End of quotes
What a great article. Terrifying discoveries. In my clinical practice, I see it again and again: whenever you improve brain function, chronic pain and fibromyalgia tends to decrease or vanish altogether. However, I did not realize until reading this article: the volume of gray matter shrinks with chronic pain/fibromyalgia. This means that a person with chronic pain/fibromyalgia loses brain cells/neurons at a highly accelerated rate, up to 9.5 times the loss of normal brain aging. The other important discovery: the longer a person suffers from chronic pain/fibromyalgia, the faster the rate of brain aging, the rate of brain cell/neuron loss. In my book this means that
You can beat Fibromyalgia - The Three Pillars of Brain Health Chronic pain/fibromyalgia is an indicator that your brain is in big trouble, that your brain is aging prematurely and rapidly. The question is: what can you do today to change that? The answer is actually relatively simple. You must give your brain what it needs to be happy.
