Forty-five ambulatory patients with primary fibromyalgia syndrome (PFS), 30 with rheumatoid arthritis, and 32 normal controls were administered 3 psychological tests: the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), the Life Events Inventory, and the Assertiveness-Aggressiveness Inventory. The PFS patients scored significantly higher on 8 MMPI scales when compared with the normal control group and on 4 MMPI scales when compared with the rheumatoid arthritis group. Further subgrouping of PFS patients according to MMPI scores showed that only 31% were "psychologically disturbed," 33% had a typical chronic pain profile, and 36% were within the normal range. The PFS patients scored higher than the rheumatoid arthritis and normal control groups on the Life Events Inventory but not the Assertiveness-Aggressiveness Inventory.
对45例原发性纤维肌痛综合征（PFS）门诊患者、30例类风湿性关节炎患者和32名正常对照者进行了3项心理测试：明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）、生活事件量表和自信-攻击性量表。与正常对照组相比，PFS患者在8个MMPI量表上得分显著更高，与类风湿性关节炎组相比，在4个MMPI量表上得分更高。根据MMPI得分对PFS患者进一步分组显示，只有31%“存在心理障碍”，33%有典型的慢性疼痛特征，36%在正常范围内。PFS患者在生活事件量表上的得分高于类风湿性关节炎组和正常对照组，但在自信-攻击性量表上并非如此。
