Question 811 — diseases

Summary

Fibromyalgia syndrome is made up of a set of symptoms, the main one of which is chronic pain, increased in particular by exercise, accompanied by fatigue, sleep disturbances and anxiety-depressive disorders. This syndrome has no known cause. The diagnosis is made based on the persistence of symptoms and the absence of other identified disease or biological or radiological abnormality. The High Health Authority (HAS) has carried out an inventory of the available data concerning fibromyalgia syndrome in adults in July 2010. But to date there is neither specific treatment, in particular medication, nor well-established management of fibromyalgia syndrome. The different treatments aim to control symptoms and must be adapted to each patient. Therapeutic options often require support multidisciplinary. The Ministry of Health, aware of the limits of knowledge relating to this syndrome, took up this subject by requesting the National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM) for a collective expertise in 2016. This work should make it possible to take stock of scientific knowledge on fibromyalgia syndrome by including data on prevalence, diagnosis, pathophysiology and support. They will thus make it possible to have an inventory of clinical knowledge and research and to identify strategies, validated or recommended, which would make it possible to propose a care pathway for patients with fibromyalgia. It is indeed necessary to have up-to-date information on this health problem. This collective expertise will provide practical ideas for structuring the course. health of people suffering from chronic pain in order to help general practitioners coordinate care and better guide patients, to allow better consideration of the impact of fibromyalgia syndrome on the social and professional lives of patients.
