To determine the prevalence of sexual abuse in women diagnosed as having fibromyalgia (FM) compared with controls.
A self-administered questionnaire designed to obtain information regarding demographics, health care utilization, and history of sexual and physical abuse was completed by 40 women with FM and by 42 women who had no evidence of connective tissue disease or other major medical condition.
Women with FM reported more physical symptoms and were significantly different on multiple indices of health compared with controls. Twenty-six FM subjects (65%) reported sexual abuse, in comparison with 22 controls (52%). The prevalence and type of abuse were not significantly different between groups. Sexually abused FM subjects reported significantly more symptoms than did non-sexually abused FM women, but did not differ in the number of symptoms for which they sought medical treatment.
Sexual abuse does not appear to be a specific factor in the etiology of FM, but is correlated with the number and severity of associated symptoms.
确定诊断为纤维肌痛（FM）的女性与对照组相比性虐待的患病率。
40名患有FM的女性和42名无结缔组织病或其他重大疾病证据的女性完成了一份自行填写的问卷，该问卷旨在获取有关人口统计学、医疗保健利用情况以及性虐待和身体虐待史的信息。
与对照组相比，患有FM的女性报告了更多的身体症状，并且在多个健康指标上存在显著差异。26名FM受试者（65%）报告遭受性虐待，相比之下，22名对照组受试者（52%）报告遭受性虐待。两组之间性虐待的患病率和类型没有显著差异。遭受性虐待的FM受试者报告的症状明显多于未遭受性虐待的FM女性，但在寻求医疗治疗的症状数量上没有差异。
性虐待似乎不是FM病因中的一个特定因素，但与相关症状的数量和严重程度相关。
