Overtraining and Central Sensitivity Syndrome

Overtraining and Central Sensitivity Syndrome

SHC Medical has published a scientific article in the Andalusian Journal of Sports Medicine (Revista Andaluza de Medicina del Deporte) on Overtraining Syndrome, another piece in the puzzle of Central Sensitivity Syndrome (CSS). The initial focus of Overtraining Syndrome was physical overexertion with inadequate rest, resulting in severe chronic fatigue and decreased performance. Physiopathological knowledge has since evolved, and although the exact physiopathological mechanisms behind Overtraining Syndrome are not yet understood, several hypotheses have been put forward. The most prominent are: the existence of an immunoneuroendocrine imbalance and dysfunction of the central nervous system and the neuroendocrine axis For its...

SHC Medical is working on a chapter of the book “Pain. Clinical Assistance”

  Dr. Manuel Blanco Suárez and Dr. Oscar Cáceres Calle, and researcher Paola Zambrano Chacón, from the SHC Medical Unit of Viamed Santa Ángela de la Cruz Hospital, worked on Chapter 6 of the book “Pain. Clinical Assistance”, which deals with Central Sensitivity Syndrome. The chapter discusses the concept of CSS, physiopathology, the central nervous system, the immune system, mitochondrial dysfunction, intestinal microbiota, the intestinal-microbiota-brain axis, clinical manifestations of CSS, determination of cell activation and sensitisation, treatments and conclusions. The Directors-Coordinators of the book, Vicente Valentín Maganto, José Carlos Mingote Adán and Manuel López Espino, believe that the early diagnosis...

Hypoxia and Hyperoxia Oxygen Therapy (HHO) improves quality of live by more than 70% in chronic fatigue

Hypoxia and Hyperoxia Oxygen Therapy (HHO) improves quality of live by more than 70% in chronic fatigue

Interview with Dr. Manuel Blanco, internist at the SHC Medical Unit of Viamed Santa Ángela de la Cruz Hospital in Seville. What is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?   Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) or myalgic encephalomyelitis is a systemic disease characterised by intense physical and mental fatigue that does not subside significantly with rest and worsens with exertion. This chronic and debilitating disease directly and negatively affects the quality of life of the person who suffers it. Its cause is unknown although multiple factors have been implicated in its aetiology: genetic, environmental and infectious diseases, stress, immunoneuroendocrine dysfunctions, among others. This means...

“Irritable Bowel Syndrome is part of central sensitisation”

21 October is National Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Day, “a pathology that is part of Central Sensitivity Syndrome (CSS)” according to Dr. Oscar Cáceres, allergist and clinical immunologist at the SHC Medical Unit of Viamed Santa Ángela de la Cruz Hospital in Seville. This disease affects between 6% and 8% of the population, mainly women between 20 and 40 years old, according to data collected by GEMD (Spanish Group of Digestive Motility). CSS includes pathologies such as fibromyalgia, migraine and tension headache, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, multiple chemical syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and electrosensitivity syndrome, among others. What all of these processes...

Start of a new study into a possible CSS marker

Dr. Franz Martín and Dr. Francisco Berral of the University Pablo de Olavide, and Dr. Oscar Cáceres and Dr. Manolo Blanco, of the SHC Medical Unit at Viamed Santa Ángela de la Cruz Hospital in Seville, have just begun a scientific study to measure the levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in plasma samples from patients with Central Sensitivity Syndrome (CSS) and to correlate it with their clinical condition and evolution. BDNF is a growth or trophic factor, of the neurotrophin family, which is involved in the functioning of the neuronal synapse, the survival of neurons and the plasticity of...
