Chronic muscular pain: aetiology and pathogenesis.
The conclusion is that no one single mechanism can explain FMS and is thus in that sense a compromise. FMS in some patients may start in the muscle, in other patients in the brain. The combination of peripheral and central factors is the key to the pathogenesis of FMS as long as FMS is defined as a pain syndrome.
