I’ll be adding to this as time goes on!  For now:

The Prevalence of Fibromyalgia in Other Chronic Pain Conditions, by Muhammad Yunus.  Great article that discusses how conditions such as fibromyalgia syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, temporomandibular disorder, restless legs syndrome, and chronic fatigue syndrome share a common link in central sensitization.  (Yunus calls them central sensitivity syndromes).

History of fibromyalgia past to present (Muhammad Yunus).

Fibromyalgia and overlapping disorders: the unifying concept of central sensitivity syndromes (Yunus).

Central sensitivity syndromes: a new paradigm and group nosology for fibromyalgia and overlapping conditions, and the related issue of disease versus illness. (Yunus).

Central Sensitization: Uncovering the Relationship Between Pain and Plasticity.  Clifford Woolf, Anesthesiology, 2007.

A Randomized Controlled Trial of Intensive Neurophysiology Education in Chronic Low Back Pain: a scholarly article that discusses how Lorimer Moseley and his team found that teaching patients about pain can increase their level of function (providing evidence in support of pain neurophysiology education).

Examining the Specific Mechanisms of Central Sensitization

The role of peptides in central sensitization

The contribution of GABAA and glycine receptors to central sensitization: disinhibition and touch-evoked allodynia in the spinal cord.

• “If a precise clinical phenotypic characterization of the neuropathic pain is combined with a selection of drugs that act on those mechanisms, it should ultimately be possible to design optimal treatments for individuals.”
