Is pain sensitivity in fibromyalgia associated with catechol-O-methyltransferase ( COMT ) gene?
According with previous research, our findings revealed that haplotypes of the COMT gene and genotypes of the Val158Met polymorphism play a key role on pain sensitivity in FM patients.
PEG is minimally invasive, general anesthesia may be avoided, the procedure is rapid, major complications are conspicuously absent, and the incidence of GER is smaller than that associated with alternative techniques. In addition, the cost is low. The authors consider PEG the technique of choice because it has important advantages compared with open or laparoscopic techniques.
