ACR 2010 diagnostic criteria seem compelling and effective for the diagnosis of fibromyalgia among patients with chronic back pain.doi:10.1007/s43465-020-00211-6Vikas SaxenaDepartment of Orthopaedics, Government Institute of Medical Sciences, Greater Noida, India;Greater Noida, IndiaPavan Pradhan...
(1989) and ACR criteria for FMS. Patient and investigator assessments were made on a 10 cm visual analogue scale, in addition to investigator assessments of trigger-and-tender points and overall assessments of efficacy and tolerability. Forty-six patients were evaluated for efficacy; 39 completed ...
Taken together, the chronic and persistent pain of FM appears to change a patient’s brain responses during the processing of both externally driven information and internally generated thoughts. The DMN comprises a set of synchronous brain regions such as the medial prefrontal and posterior cingulate...
Therefore, a measure that implicitly evaluates those domains of most importance to an individual patient has practical utility and face validity. In the milnacipran studies, patient global was incorporated into the composite responder endpoints using the PGIC, a simple instrument that asks patients to...
(4) Consequences associated with FM include daytime fatigue, impaired concentration, poor job performance, and decreased patient self-efficacy beliefs. (1) Treatment of FM focuses on reducing pain and improving sleep and...
Considering the expert physician opinion and American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 1990 Classification as gold standards, sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios were calculated. Also, validated Hindi language versions of Brief Patient Health Questionnaire (BPHQ), Generalised Anxiety Disorder-7 (...

(Table 1). With this definition, a high level of symptoms is required in order to make FM diagnosis high likely, thus reflecting the severity of pain that the patient experiences. Those diagnostic criteria were not meant to replace the ACR classification criteria [1]. Instead, they were ...
For the control group, the treatment was framed in the patient information as “gentle hyperthermia”. The key difference between the two conditions was that subjects received significantly less heat. In order to achieve this, an insulating foil was attached on the IRATHERM1000 hyperthermia device ...
