Abstract

Fibromyalgia is one of the numerous comorbidities that may accompany inflammatory rheumatic diseases. Concomitant fibromyalgia in inflammatory rheumatic conditions can interfere with symptomatology, disease activity and overall management plan. The aim of the present narrative review article was to discuss the current evidence on (i) the prevalence/frequency of comorbid fibromyalgia in inflammatory rheumatic conditions, (ii) the role of fibromyalgia on disease activity, (iii) the impact of concomitant fibromyalgia on biological disease-modifying antirheumatic treatment outcomes and (iv) potential effectiveness of biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs on fibromyalgia-related symptoms among patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases. A literature search was conducted through PubMed/MEDLINE Cochrane and Web of Science databases by using relevant keywords and their combinations. Studies representing different geographical areas of the world revealed that frequency rates of fibromyalgia are higher in inflammatory rheumatic diseases than those in the general population. Comorbid fibromyalgia interferes not only with the disease activity scores but also with the treatment outcomes and management plan. Further evidence is warranted in order to determine the potential benefits of biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs on fibromyalgia-related symptoms in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases.

Reizdarmsyndrom: Diäten wirksamer als Medikamente

29.04.2024 Reizdarmsyndrom Nachrichten

Bei Reizdarmsyndrom scheinen Diäten, wie etwa die FODMAP-arme oder die kohlenhydratreduzierte Ernährung, effektiver als eine medikamentöse Therapie zu sein. Das hat eine Studie aus Schweden ergeben, die die drei Therapieoptionen im direkten Vergleich analysierte.

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.
