Fibromyalgia and mental health in rheumatoid arthritis: a cross-sectional prevalence study from the COVID-19 pandemic
Conclusion During the COVID-19 pandemic, around one-third of our study patients had FM and depression, significantly higher than pre-COVID-19 times. Thus, mental health assessment should be incorporated into the routine management of patients with RA.

Has the COVID 19 Pandemic Impacted the Management of Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain?
We examined 30 studies (n = 18,810) from 36 countries investigating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on chronic musculoskeletal pain outcomes. The available evidence suggests that the pandemic significantly impacted pain levels, mental health, quality of life and healthcare accessibility in patients with chronic musc uloskeletal pain. Of 30 studies, 25 (83%) reported symptom worsening, and 20 (67%) reported reduced healthcare accessibility. Patients were unable to access necessary care services during the pandemic, including orthopedic surgeries, medications, and complementary therapies, leading to worsened pain , p...

Post-COVID condition or “long COVID”, return-to work, and occupational health research
In conclusion, COVID-19 remains an important topic for the occupational health research agenda, including acute and post COVID conditions. Although there is still debate about the definition of what a `post-COVID condition` entails, the sheer number of patients who are not returning to work in a timely manner or returning to work with limitations, and the lack of research interventions available should lead occupational health practitioners and researchers to work not only to prevent infection but to prevent or reduce work disability resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and future pandemics. Acknowledgements and conflict...

Could the fibromyalgia syndrome be triggered or enhanced by COVID-19?
AbstractFibromyalgia (FM) is a complex disease with an uncertain aetiology and intricate pathophysiology. Although its genesis is not fully explained, potential environmental factors, such as viral infections might trigger FM or worsen patients' clinical outcomes. The SARS-CoV-2 virus may affect central and peripheral nervous systems, leading to musculoskeletal, neurological, and psychological disturbances. These symptoms might persist at least 12  months beyond the recovery, often referred to as post-COVID syndrome, which resembles FM syndrome. In this sense, we argued the potential consequences of COVID-19 exclusively o...

Blood transcriptome and machine learning identified the crosstalk between COVID-19 and fibromyalgia: a preliminary study
CONCLUSIONS: Our study revealed the bridge role of immune dysregulation between COVID-19 and fibromyalgia, and screened underlying biomarkers to provide new clues for further clinical research.PMID:36762746 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/tz9i6y
