  Integrated review of the association of cytokines with fibromyalgia and fibromyalgia core symptoms 2010

  The purpose of this article is to describe and synthesize the results of research studies focused on the relationship of cytokines with FMS and core symptoms of FMS. The integrated review suggests that there is some empirical evidence for the relationship of cytokines with FMS and core symptoms of FMS; however, there is little consistency among study findings and most research to date has notable methodological limitations. Although the use of cytokine biomarkers must be considered exploratory at this time, future biobehavioral research focused at understanding the relationships of FMS with cytokines and its core symptoms may lead to a better understanding of this complex syndrome. This knowledge may ultimately contribute to the development of interventions for symptom management that address not only the symptom manifestation but also a potential biological mediator of symptoms.
