Pain Medicine, 06/15/09
Cimen OB et al. - The authors found that NOS activity was significantly higher whereas arginase activity was lower in patients with FM. In the correlation analysis, NOS levels showed statistically significant positive correlation with chest pain and dyspnea parameters. NOS enzyme activities were higher in subjects with positive history of migraine, pain, and morning stiffness. On the other hand, arginase levels were lower in subjects with positive history of irritable bowel syndrome and morning stiffness. The authors think that future studies concerning clinical control of pain with selective NOS inhibitors are needed in order to determine new therapeutic approaches and the exact pathophysiologic mechanisms in FM patients.
