Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

fibromyalgia 2013 criteria

Fibromyalgia 2013 criteria were derived from the 10-item symptom score from the Symptom Impact Questionnaire (SIQR) symptoms and the 28-area pain location inventory (PLI). If the patients PLI score is above 17 (range 0-28) and an SIQR symptom score is above 21 (range 0-50), the participant will be diagnosed with fibromyalgia

Time frame: Six months

Secondary Outcomes

Fibromyalgia impact questionnaire

The fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (FIQ) has 21 individual questions . All questions are based on an 11-point numeric rating scale of 0 to 10, with 10 being 'worst'. In the FIQ, all questions are framed in the context of the past 7 days. The total maximal score of the FIQ is 100.

Time frame: Six days

Pain thresholds

Pain thresholds will be recorded by applying pressure to the 28 sensitive points until the participants demonstrate pain. Manual algometry device will be used to measure the pain threshold.

Time frame: Six months
