Attentional deficits in fibromyalgia: an ERP study with the oddball dual task and emotional stroop task.

ABSTRACT: The present study investigated the neural correlates of attentional deficits in fibromyalgia through an Oddball Dual Task and an Emotional Stroop Task, both performed during EEG recordings. Thirty female participants were recruited, being divided into two groups: a group of patients with fibromyalgia (FM, n = 15, M_age = 51.87, SD_age = 7.12) and a healthy control group (HC, n = 15, M_age = 46.13, SD_age = 8.41). In the Emotional Stroop Task, the behavioural results showed that patients with FM had less hits and longer times reactions than healthy controls. These results were consistent with those obtained with our Event-related Potential (ERP) methodology, which evidenced that patients with FM had higher frontal latencies in the P200 time-window com
