The Evolution of Fibromyalgia, Its Concepts, and Criteria
TLDR
Fibromyalgia developed in the 1950s from a substrate of difficult to explain regional and widespread pain mixed with symptoms of psychosocial distress, and it is increasingly recognized that fibromyalgia represents a dimensional, non-binary condition and that features of Fibromyalgia extend to persons who do not satisfy the criteria.
Diagnosis of fibromyalgia: comparison of the 2011/2016 ACR and AAPT criteria and validation of the modified Fibromyalgia Assessment Status.
TLDR
There is a considerable agreement between criteria-based diagnoses of FM, although the AAPT Cr perform least well in terms of percentage of correct classification.
Assessing our approach to diagnosing Fibromyalgia
  • K. Hackshaw
  • Medicine
    Expert review of molecular diagnostics
  • 2020
TLDR
A discussion of ongoing efforts to obtain a biomarker to enhance diagnostic accuracy and a need to include rheumatologists as part of the care team of patients with Fibromyalgia is emphasized.
Comparison of the AAPT Fibromyalgia Diagnostic Criteria and Modified FAS Criteria with Existing ACR Criteria for Fibromyalgia in Korean Patients
TLDR
Although the AAPT criteria and modified FAS criteria have simplified the diagnostic criteria to facilitate patient identification, their poor diagnostic accuracy will limit the adoption and spread of these criteria in routine clinical practice.
The prevalence of psychiatric and chronic pain comorbidities in fibromyalgia: An acttion systematic review.
Fibromyalgia: an update on clinical characteristics, aetiopathogenesis and treatment
TLDR
Different clinical aspects of fibromyalgia are outlined, including the burden, diagnosis and treatment of this condition, and various hypotheses of fibroitalgia etiopathogenesis are discussed.
Fibromyalgia in Older Individuals
TLDR
As FM is most often a lifelong condition, patients should be encouraged to identify their own personal strategies that can attenuate symptoms, especially when symptoms flare, and Continued life participation should be the outcome goal.
Clinimetrics of Fibromyalgia Syndrome
TLDR
The present chapter objective is to give a comprehensive albeit schematic view of the main clinimetric tests which can be used in fibromyalgia patients, and to provide a practical tool that illustrates the main characteristics and feasibility, pros and cons, of mono- and multidimensional pain scales, fatigue and sleep measures, psychology and behavioural assessment scales, and disease-specific measures.
Fibromyalgia and Depression: A Literature Review of Their Shared Aspects
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by widespread, persistent pain that lasts more than three months without an evident organic lesion. FM has been considered controversial…
Two nested syndromes: fibromyalgia and neuropathic pain in prediabetes—a pilot study
TLDR
The prevalence of neuropathic pain (NeP) and fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) in prediabetics and to compare them with normoglycemic controls is determined and the impact of NeP and FMS in disease burden is disclosed.

Evaluation of the fibromyalgia diagnostic screen in clinical practice.
TLDR
The Fibromyalgia Diagnostic Screen is a useful new clinical tool to aid in the evaluation of FM in clinical practice and demonstrated the greatest accuracy in predicting an FM diagnosis.
Development and testing of the fibromyalgia diagnostic screen for primary care.
TLDR
A patient-reported questionnaire with or without a brief physical examination may improve identification of fibromyalgia patients in primary care settings.
Implications of proposed fibromyalgia criteria across other functional pain syndromes
TLDR
FM according to the ACR 2010 criteria describes the ‘severe half’ of the spectrum of functional pain syndromes, which results in a blurring of the distinction between FM and more localized functional Pain Index and Symptom Severity Score.
Fibromyalgia Criteria and Severity Scales for Clinical and Epidemiological Studies: A Modification of the ACR Preliminary Diagnostic Criteria for Fibromyalgia
TLDR
A fibromyalgia survey questionnaire is developed using a modification of the 2010 American College of Rheumatology Preliminary Diagnostic Criteria for Fibromyalgia (ACR 2010) to allow their use in epidemiologic and clinical studies without the requirement for an examiner.
Comorbidity of fibromyalgia with medical and psychiatric disorders.
Chronic widespread pain and fibromyalgia: what we know, and what we need to know.
Overlapping conditions among patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and temporomandibular disorder.
TLDR
Preliminary evidence is provided that patients with CFS, FM, and TMD share key symptoms, and it also is apparent that other localized and systemic conditions may frequently co-occur with C FS,FM, andTMD.
Family study of fibromyalgia.
TLDR
FM and reduced pressure pain thresholds aggregate in families, and FM coaggregates with major mood disorder in families; these findings have important clinical and theoretical implications, including the possibility that genetic factors are involved in the etiology of FM and in pain sensitivity.
Understanding fibromyalgia: lessons from the broader pain research community.
Progression of fibromyalgia: results from a 2-year observational fibromyalgia and chronic pain study in the US
TLDR
The results suggest that some FM+CWP+ patients experience fluctuation in symptoms over time, which may reflect the waxing and waning nature of FM and affect diagnosis and treatment.
