Abstract:
Fibromyalgia is a controversial pain syndrome with chronic widespread pain (occurring on both sides of the body as well as axially below and above the waist) and unexplained fatigue as the predominating features. Fibromyalgia involves lots of symptoms focusing on different organ systems. In sensory examination the most significant finding is general allodynia. The widespread chronic pain and tender points at certain locations as reported by the patient differentiate fibromyalgia patients from those suffering from other diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
