This study was designed to determine the prevalence of fibromyalgia in the podiatric patient population. A total of 355 consecutive patients in a podiatric outpatient clinic were evaluated to determine whether they met the criteria for this condition. Eight of the 355 patients were diagnosed with the condition. Thirty-five of 355 patients presented with plantar heel or arch pain. Seven of these 35 patients satisfied the criteria for fibromyalgia. This small study indicates that fibromyalgia may be more prevalent in podiatric patients than previously realized and must be considered in patients presenting with foot pain, especially if that pain is in the area of the plantar aspect of the heel or arch.
本研究旨在确定足病患者群体中纤维肌痛的患病率。对一家足病门诊连续就诊的355名患者进行了评估，以确定他们是否符合该疾病的标准。355名患者中有8名被诊断患有该疾病。355名患者中有35名出现足跟或足弓疼痛。这35名患者中有7名符合纤维肌痛的标准。这项小型研究表明，纤维肌痛在足病患者中的患病率可能比之前认为的更高，对于出现足部疼痛的患者，尤其是足跟或足弓跖侧区域疼痛的患者，必须考虑到这一疾病。
