A comparison of the clinical manifestation and pathophysiology of myofascial pain syndrome
and fibromyalgia: implications for differential diagnosis and management
Abstract
Two prominent forms of chronic musculoskeletal pain disorders are fibromyalgia (FM) and myofascial pain
syndrome (MPS). Inconsistent diagnosis of chronic musculoskeletal pain is an important clinical issue, as MPS is often mistaken for FM. Distinction between the two diagnoses depends largely on identification of either tender points or myofascial trigger points in FM and MPS, respectively. However, ...

Fibromyalgia and unexplained widespread pain: The idiopathic cerebrospinal pressure dysregulation hypothesis
ABSTRACT
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a debilitating, widespread pain disorder that is assumed to originate from inappropriate
pain processing in the central nervous system. Psychological and behavioral factors are both believed to underlie
the pathogenesis and complicate the treatment. This hypothesis, however, has not yet been sufficiently supported by scientific evidence and accumulating evidence supports a peripheral neurological origin of the symptoms.
We postulate that FM and ...
