Belenguer, Rafael Sisó, Antoni Ramos-Casals, Manuel fibromialgia clasificación dolor crónico fibromyalgia classificatión chronic pain Fibromyalgia (FM) is one of the most frequent diseases causing chronic pain. Due to the heterogeneity of its clinical expression and the lack of standardized instruments to classify the signs and symptoms, the availability of a classification system would allow more homogeneous groups of patients to be identified and would permit individualizing diagnostic and therapeutic management. Correct classification of patients with FM requires individual diagnostic evaluation by a multidisciplinary team comprising the family doctor, a specialist in rheumatology or autoimmune diseases, a trauma doctor and a psychologist/psychiatrist. The diagnostic contribution of each specialist together with analysis of the timeline of appearance of signs and symptoms is essential in order to decide to which FM subgroup the patient belongs. La fibromialgia (FM) es una de las enfermedades que con más frecuencia provoca dolor crónico en la población general. Debido a la gran heterogeneidad en su expresión clínica y a la falta de instrumentos estandarizados para ordenar y clasificar los distintos síntomas y presentaciones clínicas, el disponer de una clasificación de los pacientes con FM nos permitirá identificar grupos de pacientes más homogéneos, candidatos por tanto a recibir unas pautas diagnósticas y terapéuticas más individualizadas. Para poder clasificar correctamente a un paciente con FM, recomendamos una evaluación diagnóstica individualizada por parte de un equipo mutidisciplinario, compuesto por el médico de familia, el reumatólogo/especialista en enfermedades autoinmunes, el traumatólogo y el psicólogo/psiquiatra. El diagnóstico de cada uno de estos especialistas, así como el análisis en la relación temporal de la aparición de los distintos síntomas o procesos, resulta imprescindible para evaluar el subgrupo de FM al que pertenece el paciente.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is one of the most frequent diseases causing chronic pain. Due to the heterogeneity of its clinical expression and the lack of standardized instruments to classify the signs and symptoms, the availability of a classification system would allow more homogeneous groups of patients to be identified and would permit individualizing diagnostic and therapeutic management. Correct classification of patients with FM requires individual diagnostic evaluation by a multidisciplinary team comprising the family doctor, a specialist in rheumatology or autoimmune diseases, a trauma doctor and a psychologist/psychiatrist. The diagnostic contribution of each specialist together with analysis of the timeline of appearance of signs and symptoms is essential in order to decide to which FM subgroup the patient belongs. |
