Abstract
Fibromyalgia is a complex and heterogeneous clinical syndrome, mainly characterized by the presence of widespread pain, possibly associated with a variety of other symptoms. Fibromyalgia can have an extremely negative impact on the psychological, physical and social lives of people affected, sometimes causing patients to experience dramatically impaired quality of life. Nowadays, the diagnosis of fibromyalgia is still clinical, thus favoring diagnostic uncertainties and making its clear identification challenging to establish, especially in primary care centers. These difficulties lead patients to undergo innumerable clinical visits, investigations and specialist consultations, thus increasing their stress, frustration and even dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, research over the last 25 years regarding a specific biomarker for the diagnosis of fibromyalgia has been fruitless. The discovery of a reliable biomarker for fibromyalgia syndrome would be a critical step towards the early identification of this condition, not only reducing patient healthcare utilization and diagnostic test execution but also providing early intervention with guideline-based treatments. This narrative article reviews different metabolite alterations proposed as possible biomarkers for fibromyalgia, focusing on their associations with clinical evidence of pain, and highlights some new, promising areas of research in this context. Nevertheless, none of the analyzed metabolites emerge as sufficiently reliable to be validated as a diagnostic biomarker. Given the complexity of this syndrome, in the future, a panel of biomarkers, including subtype-specific biomarkers, could be considered as an interesting alternative research area.

J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12072750. [PMID: 37048833 PMCID: PMC10095322 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12072750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
The efficacy of current pharmaceutical treatments for fibromyalgia are limited. Vitamin D has shown promise in relieving pain. However, there is a lack of comprehensive analysis of psychological outcomes with vitamin D supplementation in fibromyalgia. This study aimed to investigate the impact of vitamin D supplementation on psychological outcomes and quality of life in fibromyalgia patients, given the unmet clinical need for effective treatment options. A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing vitamin D to placebo and prospective studies examining changes before and after vitamin D supplementation for patients with fibromyalgia was conducted to evaluate the effects of vitamin D on psychological outcomes, quality of life, and pain scores in patients with fibromyalgia. Databases were searched for relevant articles published from earliest available date to October 31, 2022. (PROSPERO number, CRD42022369889). We included 8 trials with a total of 694 participants and found that vitamin D supplementation had significant positive effects on physical function (standard mean differences (SMD) = 0.44, 95% CI = [0.10, 0.77 ]), role limitations due to emotional health (SMD = 0.57, 95% CI = [0.32, 0.82]), social function (SMD = 0.50, 95% CI = [0.08, 0.93]), and general health (SMD = 0.36, 95% CI = [0.11, 0.61]). Improvement of the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) scores was noted (SMD = -0.414, 95% CI = [-0.808, -0.021]), but not on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (SMD = -0.15, 95% CI = [-0.771, 0.471]) and the Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI) scores (SMD = -0.456, 95% CI = [-1.27, 0.30]). In conclusion, vitamin D supplementation might be an alternative option for improvement of psychological outcomes and quality of life in patients with fibromyalgia.

Abstract
Aim: Vitamin D deficiency is a prevalent condition among the general population, all around the world. Vitamin D deficiency is defined as serum levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D lower than 20 ng/ml (50 nmol/ml). It is a known actor in the skeletal system through the regulation of calcium and phosphate metabolism and bone mineralization. Still, the role of vitamin D as an immunomodulator is yet to be acknowledged by healthcare practitioners as a cause, precipitating factor, and contributor to a variety of diseases. Vitamin D is shown to be an actor in multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and irritable bowel syndrome. Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic disorder associated with a severe pain that can affect a patient's musculoskeletal system, daily routine, and mood. The clinical presentation encapsulates other disorders such as lethargy and sleep problems, brain fog and other cognitive issues, and physical and psychiatric symptoms. Methods: We have used PubMed and ResearchGate in the reviewing process of our paper. We tried to address as many topics as we judged to be adequate and relevant for the practicing clinicians. Results: Management of fibromyalgia syndrome is both nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic, which are provided in a stepwise fashion. Yet, the management of FMS remains a challenge, heeding a multidisciplinary approach. Among the dietary interventions, we chose vitamin D and its effects on FMS. Literature shows that supplementation improves pain caused by fibromyalgia syndrome, yet specific recommendations are still to be created. Conclusions: We call on all the relevant governmental bodies, public health experts and health policy makers, healthcare practitioners, and the civil society to use novel data related to fibromyalgia syndrome, and in a broader perspective, the integral role of vitamin D.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The multifaceted clinical presentation of fibromyalgia (FM) supports the modern understanding of the disorder as a more global condition than one simply affecting pain sensation. The main pharmacologic therapies used clinically include anti-epileptics and anti-depressants. Conservative treatment options include exercise, myofascial release, psychotherapy, and nutrient supplementation. METHODS Narrative review. RESULTS Nutrient supplementation is a broadly investigated treatment modality as numerous deficiencies have been linked to FM. Additionally, a proposed link between gut microbiome patterns and chronic pain syndromes has led to studies investigating probiotics as a possible treatment. Despite positive results, much of the current evidence regarding this topic is of poor quality, with variable study designs, limited sample sizes, and lack of control groups. CONCLUSIONS The etiology of FM is complex, and has shown to be multi-factorial with genetics and environmental exposures lending influence into its development. Preliminary results are promising, however, much of the existing evidence regarding diet supplementation is of poor quality. Further, more robust studies are needed to fully elucidate the potential of this alternative therapeutic option.

Abstract
Juvenile primary fibromyalgia syndrome (JPFS) is a chronic musculoskeletal pain syndrome affecting children and adolescents. In part one of this review, we discussed the epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and diagnosis of JPFS. Part two focuses on the treatment and prognosis of JPFS. Early intervention is important. The standard of care is multidisciplinary, combining various modalities-most importantly, exercise and cognitive behavioral therapy. Prognosis varies and symptoms may persist into adulthood.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION FM is a chronic musculoskeletal disorder characterized by the presence of generalized pain. There are contradictory results regarding the prevalence and supplementation effect of vitamin D deficiency on FM patients. We aim to determine the safety and efficacy of a 12-week vitamin D supplementation on FM patients. METHODS We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial. We included female participants of 18 years old or older, who met 1990 or 2010 ACR criteria for fibromyalgia. The Spanish validated FIQ and the VAS of pain were applied at baseline. The participants were then randomized to receive placebo or 50,000 IU of Vitamin D3 PO, weekly for 12 weeks. RESULTS We included 80 patients. There was no statistical difference in the initial and final FIQ between both groups. The FIQ delta also did not prove to be different at the end of the study. The increase in vitamin D levels in the intervention group was corroborated. Regarding serious adverse effects, none was reported in both groups. There was no statistical difference in minor adverse events. CONCLUSION In this double-blind placebo-controlled randomized study conducted to measure the efficacy and safety of vitamin D exclusively in patients with FM, we found that there is no evidence of a trend in favor of vitamin D treatment, since we did not observe improvement in the VAS of pain or FIQ. TRIAL REGISTRY Clinical Trials.gov number: NCT03369379 Key Points • There are conflicting results in vitamin D to treat fibromyalgia. • In this double-blind, randomized controlled trial, we did not find a difference in the VAS nor FIQ with vitamin D supplementation. • The increase in vitamin D levels in the intervention group was corroborated.

Abstract
Anxiety, mood disturbance, eating and sleep disorders, and dissatisfaction with body image are prevalent disorders in women with fibromyalgia. The authors of this study aimed to determine the effects of tryptophan (TRY) and magnesium-enriched (MG) Mediterranean diet on psychological variables (trait anxiety, mood state, eating disorders, self-image perception) and sleep quality in women with fibromyalgia (n = 22; 49 ± 5 years old). In this randomized, controlled trial, the participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group and the placebo group. The intervention group received a Mediterranean diet enriched with high doses of TRY and MG (60 mg of TRY and 60 mg of MG), whereas the control group received the standard Mediterranean diet. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire, Body Shape Questionnaire, State–Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Profile of Mood States (POMS-29) Questionnaire, Eating Attitudes Test-26, and Trait Anxiety Inventory were completed before and 16 weeks after the intervention. Significant differences were observed between groups after the intervention for the mean scores of trait anxiety (p = 0.001), self-image perception (p = 0.029), mood disturbance (p = 0.001), and eating disorders (p = 0.006). This study concludes that tryptophan and magnesium-enriched Mediterranean diet reduced anxiety symptoms, mood disturbance, eating disorders, and dissatisfaction with body image but did not improve sleep quality in women with fibromyalgia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic clinical condition characterized by pain, fatigue, altered sleep, and cognitive disturbances. The purpose of this study was to compare two alternative treatments (nutraceutical and acupuncture) in FMS patients through a randomized clinical trial. RESEARCH METHODS A total of 60 FMS female patients were randomized for treatment with a nutritional combination containing coenzyme Q10, vitamin D, alpha-lipoic acid, magnesium, and tryptophan (Migratens® Group) or acupuncture treatment (Acupuncture Group) performed according the principles of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), both for 3 months. Changes in pain and in quality of life (QoL) measured with a Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire Score-Revised (FIQ-R) and the Fibromyalgia Severity Scale (FSS) were performed at 1, 3, and 6 months after the start of treatments. RESULTS A total of 55 patient completed the study (21 in the Migratens® Group and 34 in the Acupuncture Group). Migratens® treatment shows a statistically significant reduction of pain 1 month after the start of therapy (T1, p = 0.025), strengthened after 3 months with maintenance of treatment (p = 0.012). The efficacy in reducing pain was apparent in the Acupuncture Group at all post-treatment determinations and at follow-up (T1 and T2 p = <0.001). Regarding QoL, improvement in FIQ-R and FSS values was revealed in both groups. CONCLUSION The nutraceutical approach with Migratens® seems to be an effective option to for patients with FMS. Our experience confirmed also the validity of acupuncture in these patients. Considering the complexity of the management of FMS patients, our results suggest a cyclical and sequential, or even concurrent treatment with different approaches, to improve the efficacy and the compliance of patients to long-term treatment.
