L'elaborazione e l'integrazione dei segnali corporei multisensoriali sono fondamentali per la consapevolezza corporea di sé (BSC, Bodily Self-Consciousness), ossia l'insieme dei processi mentali che permettono alle persone di identificarsi con il proprio corpo (senso di appartenenza del corpo), controllare i propri movimenti (senso di agentività) e sperimentare dal punto di vista della prima persona il luogo in cui il corpo si trova (auto-localizzazione) (1, 2).

Laboratorio di Malattie del Sistema Nervoso Periferico e Neurofisiopatologia del Dolore - Pain Lab

The Pain Lab brings together neurophysiologists, neurologists, and technicians to investigate the mechanisms underlying chronic pain, with a particular emphasis on painful neuropathies. Using advanced neurophysiological testing and immunofluorescence microscopy, the lab aims to identify objective biomarkers and mechanistic pathways linking peripheral neural abnormalities to chronic pain. 

AB0924 The role of self-limiting behaviour, depression and sleep in the severity of fatigue in patients with fibromyalgia

Abstract
Background Fatigue and sleep disturbances are prominent symptoms in Fibromyalgia (FM) and significantly affect the level of the patients' impairment. Some studies reported a synergic interaction of depression and poor sleep quality associated with fatigue (e.g. [1]); while Marques et al. [2] showed a significant association of the fatigue severity with a limiting behaviour self-regulatory style of the patients, i.e. reducing daily activities and excessive resting.
