# Studies list

## 80+ published studies on fibro are registered on pubmed per month..! 🙃

I just thought I’d look if there’s a new study or two on pubmed: \<fibromyalgia 2021\> brings up 394 results. Dud, I thought. Scanned thru them all. Not dud! A few are from 2020. That’s 100 studies per month! Most of them center on fibro, all of them relevant in one way or another (pain, duloxetine etc.). Update July: Gone down a little bit to 80+.
