Fibromyalgia (FM) is increasingly recognized as a disorder driven by oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation, contributing to pain sensitization and fatigue. This review explores the role of redox imbalance in FM and evaluates potential therapeutic interventions. A scoping literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Findings indicate elevated oxidative stress markers (MDA, 4-HNE), impaired antioxidant defenses [CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10), SOD, catalase], and mitochondrial dysfunction in FM patients. Preclinical and small-scale clinical studies suggest potential benefits of NRF2 activation, high-dose thiamine, CoQ10, molecular hydrogen, and oxygen-ozone (OO) therapy. However, human trial evidence is limited, and standardized treatment protocols are lacking. Given the absence of robust RCTs, oxidative stress modulation in FM remains investigational. Future research should prioritize high-quality RCTs to establish the efficacy, safety, and clinical application of redox-targeted therapies.
纤维肌痛(FM)越来越被认为是一种由氧化应激、线粒体功能障碍和神经炎症驱动的疾病,会导致疼痛敏感化和疲劳。本综述探讨了氧化还原失衡在纤维肌痛中的作用,并评估了潜在的治疗干预措施。使用PubMed、Scopus和谷歌学术进行了范围界定文献检索。研究结果表明,纤维肌痛患者的氧化应激标志物(丙二醛、4-羟基壬烯醛)升高,抗氧化防御功能受损(辅酶Q10、超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化氢酶),且存在线粒体功能障碍。临床前和小规模临床研究表明,激活核因子E2相关因子2、大剂量硫胺素、辅酶Q10、分子氢和氧-臭氧(OO)疗法可能有益。然而,人体试验证据有限,且缺乏标准化的治疗方案。鉴于缺乏有力的随机对照试验,纤维肌痛中的氧化应激调节仍处于研究阶段。未来的研究应优先开展高质量的随机对照试验,以确定氧化还原靶向疗法的疗效、安全性和临床应用。
