Fibromyalgia in women: what the research reports, and who it studied
A chronic pain condition that disproportionately affects women and is often dismissed. See how the evidence reports on who it studied.
As of 7 July 2026, OpenAlex indexes about 44,000 works matching "fibromyalgia women". FemHealth searches PubMed, Europe PMC, OpenAlex and ClinicalTrials.gov together and shows, on every result, how many of those studies actually report who was included by sex.
Most medical databases tell you what a study found. FemHealth also tells you who it studied: how many women were included where the abstract reports it, whether outcomes were analysed by sex, and whether pregnant or breastfeeding people were excluded, each labelled with where the data came from.
