Focus on chronic regional pain and chronic widespread pain―Unification of disease names of chronic regional pain, chronic widespread pain, and fibromyalgia―

Focus on chronic regional pain and chronic widespread pain―Unification of disease names of chronic regional pain, chronic widespread pain, and fibromyalgia―

Katsuhiro Toda
0/5 ( ratings)
Chronic widespread pain and chronic regional pain are incomplete forms of fibromyalgia . Although the prevalence of FN is approximately 2%, the prevalence of CWP and CRP is at least 20%. The treatment of FM is effective for CWP and CRP. CRP and CWP are milder and more obscure than FM. However, the number of patients with CRP or CWP is higher than that with FM, so, CRP and CWP are more important than FM in clinical practice. Greater focus should be placed on CRP and CWP. It is not desirable for patients with CRP or CWP to be included as FM patients in clinical studies of FM. However, the differentiation is valueless from viewpoints of clinical practice. CRP, CWP, and FM should be integrated and a single disease name should be established such as fibromyalgia complex .
