Abstract
Fibromyalgia is a chronic, idiopathic, non-articular disorder of pain regulation. Its etiology is unknown, and pathophysiology is uncertain [1]. Though initially called fibrositis, there is no evidence of inflammation in any of the affected tissues [2]. There are no diagnostic laboratory tests for fibromyalgia. Diagnosis is symptom based and often requires a clinician familiar with these chronic widespread pain conditions for confirmation of the diagnosis [3].
