Most previous psychologic and psychiatric studies of patients with fibromyalgia have utilized instruments that do not control for pain and therefore may be falsely interpreted as indicative of increased depression, hysteria, or hypochondriasis. Future studies must utilize psychiatric techniques that take into account a coexistent medical condition and such evaluation should include patients with varying levels of severity of fibromyalgia symptoms and utilization of health care.
之前大多数针对纤维肌痛患者的心理学和精神病学研究都使用了未对疼痛进行控制的工具，因此可能会被错误地解读为表明抑郁症、癔症或疑病症有所增加。未来的研究必须采用考虑到并存医疗状况的精神病学技术，并且这种评估应包括纤维肌痛症状严重程度不同以及医疗保健利用情况各异的患者。
