Defective Endogenous Pain Modulation in Fibromyalgia: A Meta-Analysis of Temporal Summation and Conditioned Pain Modulation Paradigms
Open accessAbstract
To study the characteristics of temporal summation (TS) and conditioned pain modulation (CPM) in fibromyalgia (FM) patients, we systematically searched Pubmed and EMBASE for studies using TS or CPM comparing FM patients with healthy controls. We computed Hedges' g, risk of bias, sensitivity analysis, and meta-regression tests with 10,000 Monte-Carlo permutations. Twenty-three studies (625 female and 23 male FM patients and 591 female and 81 male healthy controls) were included. The meta-analyses showed an effect size of .53 for TS (P < .001; 95% confidence interval = .23-.83), which is a 68% relative difference between patients and controls, and of .57 for CPM (P < .001; 95% confidence interval = -.88 to -.26), representing a 65% relative difference between the groups. The qualitative analyses revealed large heterogeneity between study protocols. Although studies were of low risk of bias, lack of blinding was substantial. Sensitivity analysis and meta-regression identified type and site of stimulation, age, lab, sample size, and medication control as important sources of between-study variability. We showed a significant alteration of pain modulation mechanisms in FM patients. PERSPECTIVE This novel meta-analysis provides evidence for defective endogenous pain modulation in FM patients. We explored the effect of covariates on between-study variability in these paradigms. These biomarkers may aid in diagnosis, and treatment of patients. However, validation requires further investigation under strict methodological settings, and into individual patient covariates.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
