Neural correlates of cognitive dysfunction in fibromyalgia patients: Reduced brain electrical activity during the execution of a cognitive control task

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a generalized chronic pain syndrome of unknown aetiology. Although FM patients frequently complain of cognitive dysfunction, this is one of the least studied symptoms. Research on brain activity associated with the perceived cognitive impairment is particularly scarce. To addres...

Description
Summary:Fibromyalgia (FM) is a generalized chronic pain syndrome of unknown aetiology. Although FM patients frequently complain of cognitive dysfunction, this is one of the least studied symptoms. Research on brain activity associated with the perceived cognitive impairment is particularly scarce. To address this gap, we recorded the brain electrical activity in participants during a cognitive control task. This study was supported by funding from from the Spanish Government (Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad; grant number PSI2013-45818-R] and from the Galician Government (Conselleria de Cultura, Educacion e Ordenacion Universitaria; axudas para a consolidacion e Estruturacion de unidades de investigacion competitivas do Sistema universitario de Galicia; grant number GPC 2014/047). A.G.V. was supported by a grant from Xunta de Galicia (Axudas de apoio a etapa de formacion posdoutoral 2018).
