  • Title: [Measuring pressure pain of tendons and muscles in healthy probands and patients with generalized tendomyopathy (fibromyalgia syndrome)].
    Author: Lautenschläger J, Brückle W, Schnorrenberger CC, Müller W.
    Journal: Z Rheumatol; 1988; 47(6):397-404. PubMed ID: 3239267.
    Abstract:
    A newly developed dolorimeter was tested by repeated measurements in 25 healthy volunteers to demonstrate its reliability. Repeated measurements at 12 different points demonstrated good correlation. Measurements at these points gave a highly significant difference between 100 patients with generalized tendomyopathy (fibrositis-syndrome/fibromyalgia) and a group of 50 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers.
