Prevalence of fibromyalgia: literature review update
ABSTRACT The present study aimed to update the literature review on the prevalence of fibromyalgia published in 2006. A bibliographical survey was carried out from 2005 to 2014 in the MEDLINE, Web of Science, Embase, LILACS and SciELO databases and 3274 records were identified. Five researchers selected the studies, following the inclusion criteria: studies that obtained the prevalence of fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia studies in associated diseases were excluded. When screening by title and abstract, 2073 irrelevant articles were excluded. The full texts of 210 articles were evaluated for eligibility and this review included ...

Fibromyalgia and Risk of Dementia-A Nationwide, Population-Based, Cohort Study.
CONCLUSIONS: The study subjects with fibromyalgia had a 2.77-fold risk of dementia in comparison to the control group. Therefore, further studies are needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of the association between fibromyalgia and the risk of dementia. PMID: 29406043 [PubMed - in process]

Subjective Experiences and Sensitivities in Women with Fibromyalgia: A Quantitative and Comparative Study.
This study presents subjective experiences and sensitivities reported by fibromyalgia patients, which should be considered in primary care to avoid medical nomadism, as well as stigmatization of the patients. The prevalence of significant characteristics was compared with others patients consulting at the same pain unit who suffer from rebel and disabling form of chronic migraine. Psychometric tests were anonymously completed by 78 patients of the Pain Unit (44 fibromyalgia patients and 34 migraine patients). Tests evaluated pain (Visual Analog scale), childhood traumas (Childhood Trauma Questionnaire), lack of parental af...

Fibromyalgia in migraine: a retrospective cohort study
ConclusionPatients with comorbid fibromyalgia and migraine report more depressive symptoms, higher headache intensity, and are more likely to have severe headache related disability as compared to controls without fibromyalgia. Clinicians who care for patients with migraine may consider screening for comorbid fibromyalgia particularly in patients with moderate to severe depressive symptoms, high headache intensity and/or high headache related disability. This is the first matched study to look at these characterisitcs, and it replicates previous findings from unmatched studies.

A 12-week multicomponent therapy in fibromyalgia improves health but not in concomitant moderate depression, an exploratory pilot study.
CONCLUSIONS: A 12-week multicomponent therapy for fibromyalgia, well described and gradually applied, showed improvement in health-related outcome. According to our results, we recommend to exclude patients with a moderate-to-severe depression at onset before starting a multicomponent therapy protocol. Implications for rehabilitation Multicomponent therapy for fibromyalgia is beneficial on different health outcomes. Moderate depression at onset should be exclusion criteria for starting with multicomponent therapy in patients with fibromyalgia. This multicomponent therapy protocol is ready to be implemented at daily practic...

Possible Molecular Mediators Involved and Mechanistic Insight into Fibromyalgia and Associated Co-morbidities.
Abstract Fibromyalgia is a chronic complex syndrome of non-articulate origin characterized by musculoskeletal pain, painful tender points, sleep problems and co-morbidities including depression, migraine. The etiopathogenesis of fibromyalgia is complex, variable and remains inconclusive. The etiological factors that have been defined include stress, genetic predisposition and environmental components. As per the reports of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) the prevalence of fibromyalgia varies from 2 to 22% among the general population with poor diagnostic features primarily pain. Fibromyalgia encompasses...

Influence of depressive feelings in the brain processing of women with fibromyalgia: An EEG study
Depression is one of the most common mental health problems which affects more than 10% of the global population. The prevalence of this disorder is higher in fibromyalgia patients. However, the influence of the combination of depression and fibromyalgia in the brain processing is poorly understood. To explore the modifications of EEG power spectrum in women with fibromyalgia when depressive feelings are elicited. Twenty eight women with fibromyalgia participated in this cross-sectional study. They were classified as women with depression or women without depression according to the score in the Geriatric Depression Scal...

Beliefs about sharing illness experiences: Development of a scale and relationship with symptoms of fibromyalgia.
CONCLUSION: Beliefs about sharing illness experiences may be a key factor in maintaining cycles of distress and symptoms in people with fibromyalgia, together with all-or-nothing behaviours and personal/emotional support-seeking. Statement of contribution What is already known on this subject? Maintenance of fibromyalgia is likely to be a complex autopoietic relationship including symptoms, beliefs, behaviours, and emotions. Research suggests possible roles of beliefs about unacceptability of emotions and beliefs around interpersonal situations, and behaviours in social situations as well as limiting and all-or-nothing beh...

Physiotherapists' accounts of fibromyalgia: role-uncertainty and professional shortcomings.
Conclusions: The study concludes that treating fibromyalgia patients challenges physiotherapists, mainly because of professional shortcomings. The findings highlight the necessity to train physiotherapists to respond to the needs of their patients with greater competence and less ambivalence. Implications for rehabilitation Health providers need to acknowledge the difficulty physiotherapists are facing when providing treatment to fibromyalgia patients. Physiotherapists treating fibromyalgia should undergo special training to reduce their uncertainty and role ambiguity. Health providers should improve communication between ...

Physical and psychological paths toward less severe fibromyalgia: a structural equation model
Conclusions: The present model integrated the complexity of mutually influencing factors of fibromyalgia severity, which may help in better understanding the disease. It emphasised the importance of the following: 1) physical factors and psychological factors and their interconnections, 2) patients’ experiences and clinical measurements, and 3) positive and negative signs such as physical fitness and distress. Future longitudinal and experimental research should aim at testing clinical implications implied by the model. For instance, to reduce fatigue, exercise should enhance not only objective fitness but also fitness-r...

Objective and subjective measures of physical functioning in women with fibromyalgia: what type of measure is associated most clearly with subjective well-being?
Conclusions: Independent associations of the objective measures (but not the subjective assessments) of physical activity with positive affect and life satisfaction, and of sedentary behaviour with positive affect were observed. However, objective measures and subjective appraisals of physical fitness appear to be independently related to well-being, which should be considered when developing physical exercise interventions for fibromyalgia. Implications for rehabilitation The analysis of concurrent associations of objective and subjective evaluations of physical functioning with subjective well-being offers indications fo...
