To examine possible deficiencies in endogenous pain modulating mechanisms in fibromyalgia patients compared with matched pain-free control subjects. DESIGN/SUBJECTS/METHODOLOGY: Pain reduction was investigated in 25 female patients with fibromyalgia and 26 age-matched healthy women using the diffuse noxious inhibitory controls (DNIC) paradigm. Tonic thermal stimuli at painful and nonpainful intensities, tailored to individual heat pain thresholds, were employed to induce pain inhibition. The anticipated effect was assessed by measuring the electrical pain threshold and detection threshold, using a double staircase method. Only nontender control points were stimulated (thermode on the foot, electrodes on the inner forearm).
