“…Our results are in partial agreement with a recent study [40] which found no significant difference in the TSH concentration among 82% of FMS patients while only 18% FMS patients were found with elevated level of TSH which was probably due to the misdiagnosis of subclinical hypothyroidism as FM [40]. It has been found that the levels of thyroid hormones are usually in normal range even if the patients show some symptoms of hypothyroidism [41].…”

Objectives: The present study was conducted to estimate cortisol and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and to find correlation if any between hormone levels and pain duration in FMS.Methods: Plasma cortisol and TSH concentration were determined by electro chemiluminescence immunoassay in 89 female patients with FMS and 74 age-matched healthy women.Results: No significant difference in TSH level was observed between FMS and healthy subjects. Ten patients had higher cortisol levels than the standard reference range, 48 patients with reduced cortisol and 31 patients with normal cortisol levels. No significant correlation was observed between pain duration and levels of cortisol. Conclusion:The study has confirmed the equivocal data regarding cortisol/hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis related dysfunction in FMS. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first Indian study on FMS which assessed the cortisol and TSH levels and their correlation with pain duration if any.

“…BAT can be located deep within the neck and trunk, near the great vessels, in the supraclavicular, supra-axial, paraspinal, and perirenal regions, in sympathetic ganglia and striations of the skeletal muscles and, finally, just below the skin 7 , 15 , 18 . Resting BAT activity and FM incidence are higher in women 15 , 19 – 21 , with lower adaptive thermogenesis in this group 7 .…”

This exploratory retrospective study aims to investigate the thermal changes in the thyroid gland region of patients with hypothyroidism and fibromyalgia by analyzing the temperature of the brown adipose tissue (BAT). A total of 166 individuals from 1000 thermographic electronic medical records were classified into four groups: Group HP + FM-50 individuals with hypothyroidism and fibromyalgia; Group FM-56 individuals with fibromyalgia only; Group HP-30 individuals with hypothyroidism only, and Group Control-30 healthy individuals. The thermal images from the electronic medical records were acquired by a FLIR T650SC infrared camera (used for thermometry) and the temperature data for each group were statistically analyzed. Group HP + FM showed r = 0, meaning that the average temperatures of the thyroid and BAT are independent of each other. Groups FM, HP and Control showed r = 1, meaning that the average temperatures of the thyroid and BAT were directly related. Our findings showed that the average temperatures of the thyroid and BAT regions are similar. Also, there was no correlation between thyroid gland temperature and the presence of hypothyroidism or fibromyalgia using thermometry.
