Definition

  • Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) consists of a pervasive set of unexplained physical symptoms with generalized pain and hypersensitivity to palpation at specific body locations (tender points, or TPs; Wolfe et al., 1990; see Figure 1) as the cardinal features. In addition, patients report persistent fatigue, sleep disturbance, feelings of stiffness, depression, anxiety, cognitive impairment, and general malaise sometimes referred to as “fibro fog” (Baumstark & Buckelew, 1992).
