Preferred Label : fibromyalgia;
Definition : A common nonarticular rheumatic syndrome characterized by myalgia and multiple points
of focal muscle tenderness to palpation (trigger points). Muscle pain is typically
aggravated by inactivity or exposure to cold. This condition is often associated with
general symptoms, such as sleep disturbances, fatigue, stiffness, headaches, and occasionally
depression. There is significant overlap between fibromyalgia and the chronic fatigue
syndrome (fatigue syndrome, chronic). Fibromyalgia may arise as a primary or secondary
disease process. It is most frequent in females aged 20 to 50 years. (From Adams et
al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1494-95) [MeSH];
