“…The sensitization process seems to be more frequent among patients with posttraumatic neck pain in comparison to those with non-traumatic neck pain (25,26) The current definition of widespread pain/central sensitization is closely related to the diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia as defined by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) in 1990 (27) and 2010 (28); the latter is still being discussed (29). Alternative criteria for central sensitization have also been introduced, categorizing pain distribution as local, regional, or widespread (26,30,31).…”

The importance of "female sex" as risk factor for the development of persistent pain after neck trauma needs to be discussed further. The high frequency of regional and widespread pain among patients with persistent neck pain after trauma calls for both multidisciplinary assessments and treatment strategies. The relationships between different pain distribution patterns, disability, activity, and psychological factors need to be studied further. Implications for rehabilitation Patients suffering from pain and disability after neck trauma constitute a significant proportion of patients with persistent pain. The importance of the risk factor "female sex" should be further discussed in the development of persistent pain after neck trauma. The high frequency of regional and widespread pain among patients with persistent neck pain after trauma calls both for multidisciplinary assessments and treatment strategies. The relationships between different pain distribution patterns, disability, activity, and psychological factors need to be studied further.

“…Eleven of the 27 2011 cases met the 1990 criteria, based on the examiner's tender point count . In general, most studies have shown that the 2011 criteria function well with respect to the 1990 criteria , but aside from the study just cited, there have been no evaluations of the ACR 2010 criteria.…”

Objective. The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 2010 preliminary fibromyalgia diagnostic criteria require symptom ascertainment by physicians. The 2011 survey or research modified ACR criteria use only patient self-report. We compared physician-based (MD) (2010) and patient-based (PT) (2011) criteria and criteria components to determine the degree of agreement between criteria methodology. Methods. We studied prospectively collected, previously unreported rheumatology practice data from 514 patients and 30 physicians in the ACR 2010 study. We evaluated the widespread pain index, polysymptomatic distress (PSD) scale, tender point count (TPC), and fibromyalgia diagnosis using 2010 and 2011 rules. Bland-Altman 95% limits of agreement (LOA), kappa statistic, Lin's concordance coefficient, and the area under the receiver operating curve (ROC) were used to measure agreement and discrimination. Results. MD and PT diagnostic agreement was substantial (83.4%, k 5 0.67). PSD scores differed slightly (12.3 MD, 12.8 PT; P 5 0.213). LOA for PSD were 28.5 and 7.7, with bias of 20.42. The TPC was strongly associated with both the MD (r 5 0.779) and PT PSD scales (r 5 0.702). Conclusion. There was good agreement in MD and PT fibromyalgia diagnosis and other measures among rheumatology patients. Low bias scores indicate consistent results for physician and patient measures, but large values for LOA indicate many widely discordant pairs. There is acceptable agreement in diagnosis and PSD for research, but insufficient agreement for clinical decisions and diagnosis. We suggest adjudication of symptom data by patients and physicians, as recommended by the 2010 ACR criteria.

“…The polysymptomatic distress score (PDS) can be used to diagnose FMS. It is derived from a compilation of the number of pre-specified painful regions, which a patient has plus a rating of the severity of pain, sleep disturbance, fatigue and cognitive dysfunction, headache, abdominal pain, and depression [81]. Although there is no satisfactory treatment for FMS as yet, many patients with FMS utilize complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies in addition to conventional medicine.…”

Human placental extract has been used to treat fatigue, postmenopausal symptoms, wound healing, and growth retardation in Korea. Combined with acupuncture therapy, placental extract extends its therapeutic limit to pain control. Recently, we have reported acupuncture point injection (API) with placental extract modulated inflammationinvolving pain symptoms in chronic pain diseases. In order to rehabilitate patients suffering from chronic pain and restricted joint mobility, placental extract was injected into acupuncture points localized on the joints, surrounding muscles acting in concert with the joints, and paravertebral muscles affecting the innervation of the joints. Here, we describe the pathology of pain syndromes including neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, knee arthritis, fibromyalgia, and complex regional pain syndrome and propose methodology of APIs with placental extract in treating these pain diseases.
