To assess the information processing capabilities in 25 patients with primary fibromyalgia (FM) by comparing them with 22 patients with major depression and 18 healthy controls.
A broad range of tasks related to various subcomponents of information processing were included.
Our results indicated that patients with primary FM in general share with depressives a nonspecific deficit in information processing capacity. However, our data showed that cognitive dysfunction reflecting a presumed compromise of the right hemisphere is present in major depression, but not in primary FM.
This finding would suggest that primary FM and depression are probably different conditions.
通过将25例原发性纤维肌痛(FM)患者与22例重度抑郁症患者及18名健康对照者进行比较,评估其信息处理能力。
纳入了一系列与信息处理各个子成分相关的任务。
我们的结果表明,原发性FM患者总体上与抑郁症患者在信息处理能力方面存在非特异性缺陷。然而,我们的数据显示,反映右半球假定受损的认知功能障碍存在于重度抑郁症中,而不存在于原发性FM中。
这一发现表明原发性FM和抑郁症可能是不同的病症。
