3. Oxytocin
Oxytocin is not as connected to mood as serotonin and dopamine are. Oxytocin is commonly released during childbirth to mitigate as much pain as possible to help with delivering a child. Simply put, this hormone helps to reduce the amount of pain that a person feels. This is incredibly important for people suffering from fibromyalgia, as pain and pain management are major components.
Just by looking at the benefits it can have on people with chronic pain, some people have begun to study the idea of using oxytocin to manage the pain associated with fibromyalgia, as oxytocin is one of the body’s natural painkillers. Initial studies show positive impact on people with chronic pain.
