“…Fibromyalgia is a disease of unknown aetiology, based on the presence of chronic generalised pain lasting for more than 3 months, with chronic fatigue, sleep disorders, and other functional symptoms, that is included within the central sensitisation syndrome (1)(2)(3). In the absence of biological markers to diagnose the disease, the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) proposed a number of diagnostic criteria in 1990 (ACR 1990).…”

ObjectiveFibromyalgia is a prevalent disease of unknown aetiology and is difficult to diagnose. Despite the availability of the American College of Rheumatology criteria for diagnosis, it continues to be a challenge in the field of primary health care in terms of identifying individuals with susceptibility to developing the disease. The aim of this study is to design and validate a predictive model of fibromyalgia in subjects with a history of chronic pain. Methods This multicentre observational retrospective cohort study was performed on patients aged >18 years, who visited fourprimary health centres between 2017 and 2020, with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia or arthritis. The Bootstrapping resampling method was used for the validation of the model. Results A total of 198 subjects with fibromyalgia (93 with osteoarthritis, 20 with other types of arthritis, 4 with rheumatoid arthritis) and 120 without fibromyalgia (116 with osteoarthritis, 23 with other types of arthritis, 7 with rheumatoid arthritis) participated in the study. The predictive factors of the final model were self-reported age at onset of symptoms,first-line family history of neurological diseases, exposure to levels of stress, history of post-traumatic acute emotional stress, and personal history of chronic widespread pain prior to diagnosis, comorbidity, and pharmacological prescription during the year of diagnostic confirmation. The predictive capacity adjusted by Bootstrapping was 0.972 (95% CI: 0.955-0.986). ConclusionsThe proposed model showed an excellent predictive capacity. The risk calculator designed from the predictive model allows health professionals to have a useful tool to identify subjects at risk of developing fibromyalgia.

Objectives Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterised by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, mood disturbances, and cognitive difficulties. Psychological flexibility (PF), particularly acceptance of pain, has been associated with the physical and psychological functioning (functional status) of chronic pain patients. Further investigation is required to assess the unique contribution of PF model components to functional status in people with fibromyalgia. This study investigated the role of both pain‐related PF and general acceptance of psychological experiences in a fibromyalgia sample after accounting for self‐efficacy beliefs, the use of traditional pain management strategies, and demographic variables. Methods Participants with fibromyalgia (n = 339; 95% female) were recruited primarily from fibromyalgia social media‐based support groups and support services. Participants completed an online questionnaire measuring PF components, self‐efficacy, traditional pain management strategies, and functional status. Results Pain‐related PF, general psychological acceptance, and self‐efficacy were significantly related to functional status, with higher levels of these variables associated with higher functioning. Use of traditional pain management strategies was not significantly related to functional status. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis demonstrated pain‐related PF explained a statistically significant but small (2%) amount of variance in functional status over and above self‐efficacy, traditional pain management strategies, and demographic variables. General psychological acceptance explained a further significant 2% of unique variance in functional status. Conclusions Pain‐related PF and general psychological acceptance added benefit to functioning of individuals with fibromyalgia. Nevertheless, this additional benefit was small, suggesting other psychological variables such as self‐efficacy may be more clinically relevant to functioning with fibromyalgia.
