Research Notes on Fibromyalgia Causes
A single, conclusive cause of fibromyalgia is not known. It is likely that fibromyalgia may be caused by a combination of factors.1 Psychological distress, trauma, and infection have been associated with the onset of fibromyalgia.2
Fast Facts:
- Fibromyalgia tends to run in families.1
- Studies have suggested that the brain of those who have fibromyalgia may be supersensitive to pain.2
- Since many people who suffer from fibromyalgia also experience sleep disturbances, research is being conducted on the connection between fibromyalgia and sleep.3
