Summary

Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is a complex syndrome that mainly includes the musculoskeletal system and is characterized by many symptoms such as chronic widespread pain, fatigue and sleep disorders, cognitive dysfunctions, regional pain syndrome, psychiatric disorders. The existence and importance of the multidimensional nature of chronic pain in FMS has been demonstrated. Factors such as pain intensity, persistence of pain, pain-related disability, and novelty of onset are all important characteristics of a chronic pain condition. Therefore, there was a need for a global measure of chronic pain severity that summarized different measures of pain and a graded classification of chronic pain was proposed. Patients with chronic pain such as FMS are known to have a greater negative impact than many chronic medical conditions. Chronic pain severity in FMS has been found to be associated with various conditions such as function and health status, and it has been shown that reduction in pain severity provides broadly beneficial results on these conditions. However; there are no studies in which chronic pain severity in FMS is classified by grading and investigating the relationship of different pain severity degrees with disease severity and other symptoms. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the severity of the disease, kinesiophobia, and concerns about pain differ in individuals with different pain severity by grading the severity of pain in individuals with fibromyalgia syndrome.
