Do Cognitive and Physical Fatigue Tasks Enhance Pain, Cognitive Fatigue, and Physical Fatigue in People With Fibromyalgia?

Abstract

These data show that people with fibromyalgia show larger increases in pain, perceived cognitive fatigue, and perceived physical fatigue to both cognitive and physical fatigue tasks compared to healthy controls. The increases in pain and fatigue during cognitive and physical fatigue tasks could influence subject participation in daily activities and rehabilitation.
