Emotional allodynia in fibromyalgia: a questionnaire study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares how people with fibromyalgia and those with other long-term pain conditions experience emotional pain (like feeling hurt by emotions). You will fill out a questionnaire about emotional sensitivity. The goal is to see if emotional allodynia (pain from emotions) is more common in fibromyalgia.
