Fibromyalgia is a condition characterised by chronic widespread pain together with multiple muscular tender points or associated fatigue, sleep disturbance or cognitive dysfunction in the absence of a well-defined underlying organic disease. The majority of patients present with both tender points and associated symptoms, although the exact aetiology of fibromyalgia is unknown. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson takes a look at possible triggers, diagnostic approaches, possible treatments (including non-pharmacological methods) and the prognosis for patients with this often poorly understood and underdiagnosed condition.
