What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore how central sensitization symptoms influence cognitive dysfunction in individuals diagnosed with fibromyalgia. It seeks to determine the extent of this relationship and how cognitive complaints correlate with other clinical parameters, including disease severity. The study employs various assessments such as the Central Sensitization Inventory and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment to gather data on participants. By understanding these connections, the research hopes to shed light on the complexities of fibromyalgia and its impact on cognitive function.
