A systematic review of EEG neurofeedback for the treatment of fibromyalgia found most treatments showed significant improvements of the main symptoms of the disease. [232] However, the protocols were so different, and the lack of controls or randomization impede drawing conclusive results.
Congenital fiber type disproportion (CFTD) is an inherited form of myopathy with small type 1 muscle fibers that may occur in a number of neurological disorders. [3] It has a relatively good outcome and follows a stable course. [4] While the exact genetics is unclear, there is an association with mutations in the genes TPM3, ACTA1 and SELENON. [5]
Congenital fiber type disproportion affects skeletal muscle, typically causing weakness in the shoulders, upper arms, thighs, and hips. Skeletal muscle is made up of two kinds of fiber, type 1 and type 2. In congenital fiber type disproportion, type 1 fibers are not only smaller but often more abundant than type 2 fibers. [12]

In Malaysia, diethylcarbamazine dosages (6 mg/kg weekly for 6 weeks; 6 mg/kg daily for 9 days) reduced microfilariae by 80% for 18–24 months after treatment in the absence of mosquito control. [2] Microfilariae numbers slowly return many months after treatment, thus requiring multiple drug doses over time in order to achieve long-term control.
According to Cleveland Clinic, you should also avoid taking NSAIDs if you are pregnant, or have a history of stroke or heart attack, heart failure, stomach ulcers, Crohn’s disease or ulcerative ...
A skin biopsy for the measurement of epidermal nerve fiber density is an increasingly common technique for the diagnosis of small fiber peripheral neuropathy. [13] Physicians can biopsy the skin with a 3-mm circular punch tool and immediately fix the specimen in 2% paraformaldehyde lysine-periodate or Zamboni's fixative. [ 20 ]
