Associations Between Cognitive Performance and Pain in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Comorbidity with Fibromyalgia Does Matter.

Ickmans, Kelly, Meeus, Mira, De Kooning, Margot et al.·Pain physician·2015

This study looked at whether pain and thinking problems are connected in people with ME/CFS, and whether having fibromyalgia alongside ME/CFS changes this relationship. Researchers tested 48 patients with ME/CFS (some with fibromyalgia, some without) and 30 healthy people on memory and attention tasks, then measured their pain responses. They found that the type of pain problem matters: in patients with both conditions, a specific pain-processing difference predicted thinking problems, while in ME/CFS-only patients, reported pain levels predicted thinking problems.

Frequency of Migraine Headaches in Patients With Fibromyalgia.

Vij, Brinder, Whipple, Mary O, Tepper, Stewart J et al.·Headache·2015

This study examined how often people with fibromyalgia experience migraine headaches. Researchers surveyed over 1,700 fibromyalgia patients and found that about 56% met the criteria for migraines. People with both conditions were more likely to also have depression, anxiety, IBS, and chronic fatigue syndrome, suggesting these overlapping conditions increase overall burden on patients.
