I was just reading an article on fibromyalgia research being done, when I saw this sentence, "Researchers studied patients (mean age, 49.6 years; 95.8% female; 92.7% white) with fibromyalgia . . ."
Why the heck was this trial virtually all women and all white? I know that men get fibromyalgia at a reduced rate from women, but they are out there. I know some of them myself. We need more diverse demographic groups to study how different groups are affected by this horrid syndrome.
