title = "Descending pain modulation and its interaction with peripheral sensitization following sustained isometric muscle contraction in fibromyalgia",
abstract = "Sustained isometric muscle contraction (fatiguing contraction) recruits segmental and/or extrasegmental descending inhibition in healthy subjects but not in fibromyalgia (FM). We hypothesized that fatiguing contraction may shift descending pain modulation from inhibition towards facilitation and that the effect of descending pain modulation be dependent on peripheral muscle pain sensitivity.",
