Fibromyalgia: Updates on Diagnosis and Clinical Management

Dear Colleagues,

Collaborating as Guest Editors in the Special Issue “Fibromyalgia: Updates on Diagnosis and Clinical Management” is a pleasure for us. Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and functional symptoms. The etiopathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, and classification criteria of fibromyalgia are still debated, leading to varying strategies for treating the condition. Fibromyalgia is the third most frequent musculoskeletal condition, and its prevalence increases with age. Despite improvements in diagnostic criteria, further research is needed to focus on global prevalence, etiology, pathomechanisms, and their implications for further treatment. Interdisciplinary research is crucial for the future and is welcome. Any research group investigating fibromyalgia is encouraged in this new volume of this Special Issue. We invite researchers to contribute with original articles, narrative reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, scoping reviews, or potential hypotheses of potential mechanisms.
