Title:
METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DIAGNOSING AND TREATING FIBROMYALGIA
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/192220
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides methods and systems for diagnosing and treating fibromyalgia in a patient. In one method, an oxygenation level at a muscle location is obtained for the patient; and fibromyalgia is diagnosed in the patient if the oxygenation value at the muscle location is lower than a threshold oxygenation level. In another method, a muscle firmness at a muscle location is obtained for the patient; and fibromyalgia is diagnosed in the patient if the oxygenation value at the muscle location exceeds a threshold muscle firmness.
