Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish guidelines based on scientific evidence for the diagnosis of fibromyalgia. MATERIAL AND METHODS Evidence collection was performed based on 9 questions regarding the diagnosis of fibromyalgia, structured using the Patient, Intervention or Indicator, Comparison and Outcome (P.I.C.O.), with searches in the main, primary databases of scientific information. After defining the potential studies to support the recommendations, they were graded according to evidence and degree of recommendation.

Abstract
Fibromyalgia (FM) is an important cause of morbidity and health expenditure. Severe widespread extra-articular chronic pain, along with nonrestorative sleep, dominates the clinical syndrome. The pathogenesis of FM remains unclear. While dysfunction in serotoninergic neurotransmission is believed to play an important role, several neurologic and immuno-endocrine mechanisms may also be relevant. A theory is advanced based on an inherited imbalance in neuro-vegetative systems resulting from increased sympathetic tone because of a metabolic deficiency in the serotoninergic system that, when exposed to a precipitating event, leads to the development of the clinical manifestations of FM. The importance of both nonpharmacological treatments and multimodal medication management is stressed.
