Is Cortical Motor Neuron Dysfunction the Underlying Mechanism of Fatigue in Fibromyalgia?
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
The goal of this study is to test whether cortical motor neuron dysfunction plays a role in the pathogenesis of fatigue in fibromyalgia patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do fibromyalgia patients have lower v-wave compared to healthy subjects? Does cheering affect V-wave in fibromyalgia patients more than healthy subjects? Researchers will compare the V-waves of fibromyalgia patients with those of healthy subjects.

Treatments
Experimental: Fibromyalgia
Subjects with diagnosed fibromyalgia will be in this arm. Subjects will have their grip strength and 4-meter walking speed measured and will be asked to fill the fatigue severity scale.~Subjects will be tested for v-wave during voluntary foot plantarflexion.
Experimental: Healthy
Healthy subjects will be in this arm. Subjects will have their grip strength and 4-meter walking speed measured and will be asked to score the fatigue severity scale.~Subjects will be tested for v-wave during voluntary foot plantarflexion.
