From: The severity of irritable bowel syndrome or the presence of fibromyalgia influencing the perception of visceral and somatic stimuli

Figure 1

Somatic thresholds for discomfort did not significantly differ among groups at active and control sites (p = 0.4 and 0.3, respectively). The somatic perception cumulative score was significantly different among groups at active and control sites (p = 0.006 and p = 0.03, respectively). In detail, at active site mild and severe IBS patients without FMS demonstrated a significantly lower somatic perception cumulative score than severe IBS patients with FMS, whilst at control site only mild IBS patients showed a significantly lower somatic perception cumulative score compared to severe IBS with FMS.
