Fibromyalgia represents one of the most frequent musculoskeletal problems. This condition, associated with widespread pain, is characterized by a number of specific tender points, as well as symptoms such as tiredness, limb stiffness, depression and a lack of refreshing sleep. Patients suffering from fibromyalgia can also demonstrate the same clinical features as temporomandibular disorders or myofascial pain. Dentists should be aware that certain dental treatments will not be effective in patients suffering from temporal and masseter pain if fibromyalgia has been diagnosed.
纤维肌痛是最常见的肌肉骨骼问题之一。这种疾病与广泛疼痛相关，其特征是有一些特定的压痛点，以及疲劳、肢体僵硬、抑郁和睡眠不佳等症状。患有纤维肌痛的患者也可能表现出与颞下颌关节紊乱或肌筋膜疼痛相同的临床特征。牙医应意识到，如果已诊断出纤维肌痛，某些牙科治疗对患有颞部和咬肌疼痛的患者将无效。
