GUITART BOIXADER, Juan. Primary syndromes of diffuse muscle-eskeletical pain: Descriptive study and versus to the conventional fibromialgia disease. Rev. Soc. Esp. Dolor [online]. 2008, vol.15, n.5, pp.284-290. ISSN 1134-8046.

Objective. Study and contrast of primary clinical syndromes, similar to the Fibromyalgia (F.M.) but without important presence of Patient painful points. Methods. Design type cases and controls. Patient's clinical cases with generalized and persistent diffuse muscle-eskeletical pain/(≥6 months), but with ≤5 F.M points. and exclusion of forceful pathologies. Controls. Diagnosed patients of F.M. by the criteria of Wolfe of 1994. Studied variables A) Clinical characteristics. A questionnaire goes over 46 variants of the symptoms. Two samples: of 26 women in cases and 32 women in controls. B) Painful exploratory data and evolution. F.M points. Stress, anxiety and depression, semiquantitative evaluation. Muscular tensión, by semiobjective evaluation. And evolution by autoevaluation to the 6 months. Statistical Tests. Student-Fisher Tests for the comparison of ages and number of painful points, and those of chi square for the comparison of frequencies. Results. Average of painful points in cases = 1.36 and controls (10,32 P< 0,0001) very similar clinical profile in cases and controls, including the evolution. Differences: alive pain but and in rest, cases (P< 0,005); muscular tensión but frequents in controls (P< 0,01). Conclusion. These results relativist the importance diagnose and foretell of the painful points.
