Seed-based resting-state connectivity as a neurosignature in fibromyalgia and depression: a narrative systematic review by Betina Franceschini Tocchetto, Betina Franceschini Tocchetto, Andrea Cristiane Janz Moreira, Andrea Cristiane Janz Moreira, Álvaro de Oliveira Franco, Álvaro de Oliveira Franco, Iraci L. S. Torres, Felipe Fregni, Wolnei Caumo, Wolnei Caumo, Wolnei Caumo

“…BackgroundMajor depressive disorder (MDD) often co-occur with fibromyalgia (FM), and both conditions have been associated with impaired resting state functional connectivity (rs-FC). The present systematic review aims to summarize the evidence on rs-FC in individuals with MDD and FM compared with healthy controls and explore overlapping connectivity patterns and their relationships with clinical symptoms.MethodsA systematic search of the EMBASE, PubMed, Scopus and ScienceDirect databases was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. …”
