Summary
Fibromyalgia causes long term pain where mostly women are affected. It is not entirely clear
how vitamin B12 affects the human pain system, there are however many primary studies that
indicate different interesting approaches. Considering that the receptor of NMDA is involved
in both long-term pain and vitamin B12 deficiency its of most importance to evaluate whether
vitamin B12 decreases the pain sensitivity and the experience of pain i.e hyperalgesia and
allodynia, at persons with fibromyalgia.The aim of this study is therefore to evaluate the
effect of Mecobalamin (vitamin B12), and describe lived experiences of pain, health,
suffering and well-being in women with diagnosed fibromyalgia.
