Sleep as a window into the world of fibromyalgia syndrome.
Thomas RJ.
One of the most clinically problematic challenges in the management of
fibromyalgia syndrome (FM) is the unrefreshing nature of sleep. The
problem goes beyond misperceiving the duration or quality of sleep, to
a point where patients may feel worse after sleep =97 a complete loss of
the restorative power of sleep. This clinical feature has been
associated with changes in sleep that are not readily determined by
conventional sleep stages and scoring, but may be identified by a
number of complementary analyses. In essence, they all capture in some
form the dominance of low amplitude fluctuations in physiological
signals during sleep.
