Fibromyalgia (FM) is considered to be the prototypical central chronic pain syndrome and is associated with widespread pain that fluctuates spontaneously. Multiple studies have demonstrated altered brain activity in these patients. The objective of this study was to investigate the degree of connectivity between multiple brain networks in patients with FM, as well as how activity in these networks correlates with the level of spontaneous pain.

    Inappropriate glycaemic control eventually induces microangiopathy and macroangiopathy in diabetic patients. To prevent these complications in particular diabetic neuropathy, early intervention to hyperglycemia is the most important. Unfortunately, possible methods for treatment of diabetic neuropat...
