Fibromyalgia Screenings

In recent years, as people have become more concerned about their health, a chronic pain disease called fibromyalgia has attracted widespread attention. Fibromyalgia is a common chronic inflammatory joint disease characterized by muscle and joint pain, stiffness, and limited movement. Currently, approximately 17 million people in China alone are affected by fibromyalgia. To detect and treat fibromyalgia early, doctors recommend getting patients tested. Among them, Fibromyalgia screening is a commonly used examination method by doctors. Fibromyalgia screening uses a series of physical examinations and questionnaires to find out whether patients have fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia screening includes the following aspects:

1. Doctor's consultation: The doctor will ask about the patient's symptoms, pain location, pain degree, duration, etc. , and understand the patient's basic medical history.

2. Physical examination: The doctor will touch the patient's muscles, joints, nervous system and other parts to check for symptoms such as pain, stiffness, tenderness and other symptoms.

3. Pain questionnaire: Doctors will provide patients with a series of pain questionnaires to ask about the nature, extent, impact and other factors of pain in order to more accurately understand the patient's pain status.

4. Laboratory tests: Some patients need laboratory tests such as blood and urine to rule out other diseases. The significance of Fibromyalgia screening is to detect fibromyalgia patients early so that timely diagnosis and treatment can be provided.

At the same time, Fibromyalgia screening has the advantages of non-invasive, simple and economical, and has high practical value for the majority of patients. However, Fibromyalgia screening is not completely reliable. Some patients may have false positive or false negative results.

In addition, some patients may experience pain levels that are no different than normal but are still diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Therefore, when performing Fibromyalgia screening, it is necessary to combine the patient's clinical manifestations, imaging examination results, etc. to improve the accuracy of diagnosis.

In summary, Fibromyalgia screening is a commonly used test that helps detect fibromyalgia patients early. However, it should be noted that Fibromyalgia screening is not completely reliable, and the disease should be diagnosed based on clinical manifestations and imaging examination results.
