What Researchers Did
Researchers reviewed existing literature on musculoskeletal oxygenation alterations in fibromyalgia and myalgic encephalomyelitis patients and presented three case studies.
What They Found
The review highlighted that patients with fibromyalgia and myalgic encephalomyelitis often experience musculoskeletal oxygenation alterations and respond to treatments like hyperbaric oxygen therapy and coenzyme Q10. Additionally, three patients with severe symptom exacerbations showed successful responses to treatment with pure oxygen for a limited time.
