title: Fibromyalgia: a critical digest of the recent literature.
abstract: Fibromyalgia (FM) syndrome is a chronic disease with unknown etiology, characterised by widespread pain and fatigue. Moreover, several patients manifest non-specific symptoms such as sleep disturbances, mood disorders, and neurocognitive impairment. We have reviewed the literature of the past year to underline the progress of research in the fields of etiopathogenesis, therapies and assessment, considering articles published between November 2012 and November 2013.
