Key symptom domains to be assessed in fibromyalgia (outcome measures in rheumatoid arthritis clinical trials)

Ernest H Choy et al. Rheum Dis Clin North Am. 2009 May.

Abstract

This article discusses the key symptom domains to be assessed in fibromyalgia. Development of a consensus on a core set of outcome measures that should be assessed and reported in all clinical trials is needed to facilitate interpretation, pooling, and comparison of results. This aligns with the key objective of the Outcome Measures in Rheumatoid Arthritis Clinical Trials initiative to improve outcome measurement in rheumatic diseases through a data-driven interactive consensus process.
