Current Review of Pain Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The concept that fibromyalgia may follow trauma is currently an area of intense debate within the medical field and is driven to a large extent by social and legal issues. This article questions whether the current literature supports the notion that trauma may cause fibromyalgia and explores the relative contribution of biology and psychology in the development of and sense of disability from fibromyalgia.
