First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how repetitive negative thinking (rumination) affects the emotional and mental symptoms of fibromyalgia. Researchers studied 107 adults with fibromyalgia using questionnaires. The goal was to understand if rumination plays a role in depression and anxiety often seen with fibromyalgia, which could lead to better psychological support.
