Myofascial pain syndrome may be the most difficult disorder that is differentiated from fibromyalgia

摘要

I read an article written by Di Franco M. et al. (1). There are two kinds of theories about relationship between fibromyalgia (FM) and myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). One theory is as follows: FM is distinct from MPS, and sometimes comorbid with it. The other theory is as follows: MPS is localised FM or a preclinical stage of FM. I believe the latter theory.
