INTRODUCTION
Although most patients with fibromyalgia describe periods of exacerbation of their symptomatology, there are very few studies describing its characteristics.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
We recruited a total of 124 patients from our outpatient clinics who agreed to a follow-up of at least 6 months. All of them were asked to note and describe whether they had had any worsening of their symptoms during that time.
RESULTS
Sixty-nine patients (75%) reported at least one flare, with a mean of 2 flares per patient. The mean duration of flares was 11 weeks. The most frequent triggers were: continuous stress (56%), intense stress (39%), physical overexertion (37%) and climatic changes (36%). The most common actions taken by patients were rest and medication.
CONCLUSIONS
Two-thirds of fibromyalgia patients experienced flares within 6 months. The symptoms and measures taken are similar to those patients usually take when they notice a worsening of symptoms.
引言
尽管大多数纤维肌痛患者描述其症状有加重期，但很少有研究描述其特征。
材料与方法
我们从门诊招募了总共124名同意至少随访6个月的患者。要求他们所有人记录并描述在此期间症状是否有任何恶化。
结果
69名患者（75%）报告至少有一次病情发作，每位患者平均发作2次。发作的平均持续时间为11周。最常见的诱因是：持续压力（56%）、强烈压力（39%）、身体过度劳累（37%）和气候变化（36%）。患者采取的最常见行动是休息和用药。
结论
三分之二的纤维肌痛患者在6个月内经历病情发作。症状和采取的措施与患者通常在注意到症状恶化时采取的措施相似。
