[Generalized tendomyopathy (fibromyalgia)].
The generalised tendomyopathy (fibromyalgia) is one of the most frequent rheumatological diseases and has a prevalence of approximately 1%. Multilocular conditions of pain of the back, the extremities and the face with increased tenderness on pressure on defined insertions and courses of the tendons clinically stand to the fore. Functional disturbances, vegetative symptoms and psychopathologic changes are frequently connected with this. Laboratory investigations are normal. The diagnosis results from the combination of multilocular conditions of pain - combined with the defined tenderness on pressure mentioned and as additional symptoms functional disturbances, vegetative symptoms and psychopathological changes. In the genesis of the disease probably reflex mechanisms on the part of the spinal column, partly also on the peripheral joints primarily play a role. Probably the generalisation is evoked above all by psychosocial factors which possibly cause the various symptoms by a continuous impulse on the reticular formation.
