The date<\/strong>\u00a0honours Florence Nightingale, a renowned Brithish nursing pioneer, writer, and statistician, who is believed to have suffered from a similar, chronic, and debilitating illness, though unknown at the time. Both conditions belong to the group of\u00a0<strong>Central Sensitivity Syndromes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. M. B. Royo Salvador and his collaborators, through their research on\u00a0<strong>Filum Disease (FD) and Neuro-Cranio-Vertebral Syndrome (NCVS), identified a close relationship between these conditions and both fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.<\/strong>\u00a0This relationship has been clinically documented in patients both before the treatment with the Filum System\u00ae and in the favourable outcomes observed postoperatively.<\/p>\n<p>Many symptoms experienced by these patients are shared across all three conditions, they may overlap or lead to diagnostic confusion and uncertainty about which syndrome is the root cause.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The mechanisms currently being studied that may link Filum Disease with these syndromes<\/strong>, appear to involve abnormal traction of the Filum terminale The tension can \u00a0lead to alteration and progressive deterioration \u00a0in the nervous system, as well as neuro-endocrine and autonomic systems (see Figures 1 and 2).<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/institutchiaribcn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Filum-Disease-with-Fibromyalgia.png\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/institutchiaribcn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Filum-Disease-with-Fibromyalgia.png\" alt=\"Filum Disease with Fibromyalgia\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Figure 1. \u2013 Mechanism linking Filum Disease with Fibromyalgia.<br \/>\n(from: \u201cPatient Guide\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.eu\/d\/3ljrFsg\">https:\/\/amzn.eu\/d\/3ljrFsg<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/institutchiaribcn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Filum-Desease-with-Fatigue-Syndrome.png\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/institutchiaribcn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Filum-Desease-with-Fatigue-Syndrome.png\" alt=\"Filum Disease with Fatigue Syndrome\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Figure 2. \u2013 Mechanism linking FD with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.<br \/>\n(from: \u201cPatient Guide\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.eu\/d\/3ljrFsg\">https:\/\/amzn.eu\/d\/3ljrFsg<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Based on these findings, our neurosurgical team recommends that patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome \u2013 who are seeking an effective treatment \u2013 undergo\u00a0<strong>the established testing protocol to determine whether Filum Disease might be present.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In many cases, an impact on the occipital foramen or\u00a0<strong>descent of the cerebellar tonsils (Arnold-Chiari Syndrome 0 or I), intramedullary cavities (idiopathic syringomyelia), or idiopathic scoliosis \u2013 caused by FD and NCVS \u2013 can be identified in association with fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When such associations are confirmed<strong>, the Filum System\u00ae method can be applied, offering<\/strong>\u00a0both a surgical intervention and for postoperative rehabilitation. In most of our cases to date, this approach has led to\u00a0<strong>excellent results in improving patients\u2019 quality of life.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For more
