Figure 1

Comparison of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) between patients with fibromyalgia (FM) and age-matched healthy controls. Maximum intensity projections of Statistic Parametric Mapping 2 (SPM2) results from comparison of rCBF between patients with FM and age-matched healthy controls are shown. The FM patient group exhibited (a, b) significant hypoperfusion in the left culmen and (c, d) significant hyperperfusion in the right precentral gyrus, right posterior cingulate, right superior occipital gyrus, right cuneus, left inferior parietal lobule, right middle temporal gyrus, left postcentral gyrus, and left superior parietal lobule. Height threshold is less than 0.001, corrected for multiple comparison.
