Subtipos de pacientes con Fibromialgia, caracter铆sticas psicopatol贸gicas y calidad de vida

Introduction. The main goal of this work was to identify subgroups of patients with fibromyalgia (FM) by means of a frequently used clinical tool, the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ). Methodology. A total of 66 women diagnosed with FM participated in the study. Two subgroups of patients were identified by analysis of a hierarchical cluster of selected items from the FIQ (pain, fatigue, morning tiredness, stiffness, anxiety and depressive symptoms). Results. The type I FM-group had very high levels of fatigue, morning tiredness and anxiety, and high levels of joint stiffness, pain and depressive symptoms, while the type II FM-group had predominantly moderate levels of fatigue and morning tiredness, with moderate low levels of pain and stiffness along with a low level of depression and anxiety. Conclusions. Type I FM-group also had lower healthrelated quality of life, especially through emotional reactions and social isolation as well as more psychopathological affections than presented by type II FM-group

Resultados. El grupo de FM tipo I mostr贸 niveles muy ele- vados de fatiga, cansancio matutino y ansiedad, y niveles altos en rigidez articular, dolor y s铆ntomas depresivos. El grupo de FM tipo II present贸 un predominio de niveles moderados de fatiga y cansancio matutino, con niveles moderadamente bajos de dolor y rigidez articular, junto a un nivel bajo en depresi贸n y ansiedad. Conclusiones. El grupo de FM tipo I se caracteriza tambi茅n por tener una baja calidad de vida relacionada con la salud, espe- cialmente en reacciones emocionales y aislamiento social, junto a una mayor afectaci贸n de la esfera psicopatol贸gica que la presen- tada por el grupo de FM tipo-II
