Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: Prospective double blind controlled study. PARTICIPANTS: RESULTS:
Norepinephrine-evoked pain was seen in 80 % of FM patients (95% confidence intervals 56.3 - 94.3%), in 30 % of rheumatoid arthritis patients and in 30 % of healthy controls (95% confidence intervals 11.9 - 54.3) (p < 0.05). Intensity of norepinephrine-evoked pain was greater in FM patients (mean +/- SD 2.5 +/- 2.5) when compared to rheumatoid arthritis patients (0.3 +/- 0.7), and healthy controls (0.3 +/- 0.8) p < 0.0001.
