What This Study Did, in Plain Language
What Was Tested
The paper reports a study of Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc in the context of chronic pain: fibromyalgia & crps, published as a clinical trial.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of vitamin D supplementation on pain, quality of life, and nerve conduction studies (NCSs) in women with chronic widespread pain (CWP) diagnosed with Vitamin D insufficiency.
Why It Was Studied
The P-value was adjusted to account for the number of comparisons performed in each assessment.
Who Took Part
PubMed indexes the participants as teenagers, young adults and adults, women only.
Thirty-three female participants with CWP and vitamin D insufficiency were included in this open-label trial.
They were evaluated by routine NCSs in upper and lower limbs, pain scales, and the Nottingham Health Profile before and 8 weeks after starting vitamin D supplementation therapy.
How the Study Was Run
The design is described as open-label.
Everyone knew when Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc was being given (open label), which is simpler to run but leaves more room for expectations to affect what is reported.
What Was Measured
The P-value was adjusted to account for the number of comparisons performed in each assessment.
PubMed files the paper under topics including Chronic Pain, Dietary Supplements, Neural Conduction, Quality of Life, Visual Analog Scale, Vitamin D and Vitamin D Deficiency.
