Assessing Fibromyalgia With Quantitative Electroencephalography (QEEG)

114 Recent research into fibromyalgia has suggested dysfunction in the central nervous system (CNS) as a possible contributor to this chronic pain condition. If changes in the CNS are involved in fibromyalgia, then dysfunctional brain activity should be present.

Neuropsychiatry and Quantitative Electroencephalography (qEEG) in the 21st Century

The human brain weighs about 3 pounds and consumes 40% to 60% of blood glucose. This disproportionate amount of energy is used to create electricity in about 100 billion interconnected neurons. Quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) is a real-time movie of the electrical activity of the preconscious and conscious mind at frequencies from about 1 Hz to 300 Hz. Numerous studies have cross-val...
