Patients with FM have smaller stromal nerve thickness, lower corneal sub-basal plexus nerve density

Women with fibromyalgia had a thinner average stromal nerve thickness and decreased corneal sub-basal plexus nerve density per square millimeter compared with healthy control participants, and corneal confocal microscopy could be a useful marker for patients with fibromyalgia, according to the results of a recently published research.Researchers enrolled 17 women with fibromyalgia (FM) who met both American College of Rheumatology 1990 and 2010 criteria for FM and 17 healthy women matched for age. Participants were between 18 and 50 years of age with no concurrent diseases.
