Summary

This completed pilot study looked at how lifestyle factors like diet, physical activity, sleep, stress, smoking, and alcohol use relate to pain sensitivity in 20 women with fibromyalgia. Participants wore a Fitbit, logged food, completed questionnaires, and had pain sensitivity tests and blood samples taken. The goal was to see if inflammation plays a role in these connections.
