Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is the second most common diagnosis made in rheumatology clinics ,
yet its aetiology remains a source of controversy. It has been
suggested that fibromyalgia is a functional/psychological disorder and
that the symptoms of fibromyalgia are simply due to somatisation of
distress [2].
In support of this construct, there is definite evidence from
population-based studies that psychological distress, particularly
early-life trauma such as parental loss and abuse, can predict the
future development of chronic widespread pain and fibromyalgia.
However, such observations leave unanswered the question of exactly how
psychological factors translate into chronic physical pain.
