Researchers found spinal disinhibition in people with fibromyalgia, adding new clues about the role of central pain processing in this condition.

After a spinal cord injury, nearby cells quickly rush to action, forming protective scar tissue around the damaged area to stabilize and protect it. But over time, too much scarring can prevent nerves ...
