Descriptor fibromialgia
Entry term(s) fibrositis
reumatismo muscular
síndrome de dolor miofascial difuso
Scope note: Síndrome reumático no articular, frecuente, caracterizado por mialgia y múltiples puntos de dolor muscular a la palpación (puntos desencadenantes). El dolor muscular típicamente se agrava por la inactividad o la exposición al frio. Esta afección se asocia a menudo con síntomas generales, como trastornos del sueño, fatiga, rigidez, CEFALEAS, y ocasionalmente DEPRESIÓN. Hay un significativo solapamiento entre la fibromialgia y el síndrome de fatiga crónica (SÍNDROME DE FATIGA CRÓNICA). La fibromialgia puede surgir como un proceso patológico primario o secundario. Es más frecuente en mujeres entre los 20 y 50 años (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1494-95)

Scope note: 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)
