Fibromyalgia is a kind of neuropathic pain, mainly manifested as extensive muscle pain, fatigue, etc., which is easily misdiagnosed as rheumatic disease. At present, there is no special laboratory or imaging examination method in clinical practice to confirm the diagnosis of fibromyalgia, while ultrasound scanning technology is a reliable diagnostic method and has been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of fibromyalgia. This article will investigate the application of fibromyalgia and ultrasound scanning technology.

1、 Symptoms and diagnosis of fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia typically manifests as alternating generalized pain, muscle fatigue, sleep disorders, headaches, and other symptoms, commonly found in women aged 20-50. Although fibromyalgia has a wide range of pain areas, it usually occurs in areas such as the head, neck, chest, waist, buttocks, and limbs. It is difficult to detect abnormal manifestations in routine physical examinations and imaging examinations. Therefore, the diagnosis of fibromyalgia is usually based on clinical symptoms and physical examination, defined as the presence of widespread pain for at least three months and excluding other causes of pain.

2、 The Principle and Application of Ultrasonic Scanning Technology

Ultrasonic scanning technology is an imaging technology based on sound waves and echoes. It uses ultrasonic pulses to emit and receive echoes into human tissues, and calculates the differences in three dimensions of the echo signal, including time delay, frequency change, and intensity, to generate images of the tissue structure. Ultrasound scanning technology can help doctors observe and diagnose many diseases, such as fetal malformations, vascular diseases, heart diseases, etc.

For the diagnosis of fibromyalgia, we mainly use the "spot" test using ultrasound scanning technology, which is a method that can detect one of the key features of fibromyalgia. A spot refers to a pain sensitive area, also known as a pain spot. These spots can usually be found on the body of patients with fibromyalgia, and after verification by ultrasound scanning technology, it can be found that these spots have abnormal tissue ultrasound echo signals. Spot testing usually uses high-frequency probes, which can provide a clearer view of the appearance and structure, and can effectively evaluate the condition of muscle tissue and fibers.

3、 The advantages of ultrasound scanning technology in the diagnosis and treatment of fibromyalgia

1. Non invasive: Ultrasound scanning technology does not require incision of the human body, reducing pain for patients and increasing safety.

2. More intuitive diagnostic results: Through spot testing, echo information in the spot area can be directly observed, which can further confirm the existence of fibromyalgia from a more intuitive perspective.

3. Higher diagnostic accuracy: Compared to simple verbal judgment and symptom assessment, assisted by ultrasound scanning technology, it can more accurately confirm the diagnostic results and prevent misdiagnosis caused by other symptoms.

4. The treatment plan is more accurate: Through spot testing, the degree and source of pain in different parts can be evaluated, providing a more rigorous basis for developing personalized treatment plans.

4、 Application of ultrasound scanning technology in the treatment of fibromyalgia

In addition to the diagnosis of fibromyalgia, ultrasound scanning technology can also be used to treat fibromyalgia.

In the process of treating fibromyalgia, ultrasound scanning technology has been applied to high-frequency pulse sound wave therapy, which is a physical therapy based on resonance. Through regular vibration waves, muscles can relax, promote local blood circulation, promote metabolism and circulation, and thereby alleviate muscle pain and improve fibromyalgia symptoms. Due to the vibration and transmission effects of ultrasound, muscle tissue can generally receive greater stimulation compared to surrounding tissues during treatment, which can stimulate muscle regeneration and promote the continuity and intensity of treatment. At the same time, the stimulation of soft tissue by ultrasound also helps to restore muscle function.

In summary, ultrasound scanning is a medical tool with precise diagnosis, excellent therapeutic effect, and non-invasive invasiveness. It provides an efficient means and presentation for the diagnosis and treatment of fibromyalgia. The application of ultrasound scanning technology greatly simplifies the detection process of fibromyalgia, which is not only patient friendly, but also provides doctors with more convenient and abundant data, promoting the research and treatment process of diseases.
