Naturally this was of interest..........
According to the newest research, it is a disease characterized by central sensitization of the spinal cord and central nervous system (Bennett R 2005; Gerwin RD 2005). This sensitization may occur because of inflammatory cytokines that trigger inducible nitric oxide synthase (INOS) in muscle tissue. The INOS causes inappropriate stimulation of pain receptors and an increase in oxidants such as the peroxynitrite radical and other reactive oxygen species.
