Retrospective Study of Psychoattitudinal Patterns in Patients With Fibromyalgia Receiving Antalgic Therapy

Brief summary (from the registry)

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a widespread and invalidating disease that requires a multidisciplinary approach. Particularly, the psychiatric component seems to influence the algological management of these patients. Since January 2018, the HADS, SF-36, IMSA, TCI psycho-attitudinal questionnaires have been introduced in the Pain Therapy unit of Policlinico Sant'Orsola-Malpighi in an attempt to improve the care of patients diagnosed with FM. The aim of the study is to identify, through retrospective evaluation of TCI tests and its subdomains, compiled by patients with FM diagnosis, Pain Avoidance and Pain Persistance personality patterns, indicated in the literature. Anxiety and Depression incidence is also observed through retrospective evaluation of HADS tests. Patients in the Antalgic Therapy Outpatient Clinic diagnosed with FM, aged ≥18 years, who have completed selfadministered psychoattitudinal tests from January 2018 to January 2019 were considered. The data were collected in aggregate and extrapolated anonymously.
