We examine the associations between sensitization and fibromyalgia disease burden as measured by the polysymptomatic sistress scale (PDS) and the fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (FIQ) (range 0\u2013100).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Participants were recruited from referrals to a rheumatology outpatient clinic and the fibromyalgia diagnosis was verified by a rheumatologist. They completed the PDS and FIQ and underwent QST of pressure pain threshold (PPT) at five sites, temporal summation (TS), and conditioned pain modulation (CPM) estimated as post\u2010stimuli\/pre\u2010stimuli PPT. The associations between QST and disease burden were analysed in linear regression models adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 78 individuals with clinically verified fibromyalgia (90% women, mean age 40.9\u2009years (SD 7.3)) were recruited. Overall mean PPT was associated with the FIQ total score (<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\u20102.1, 95% CI\u20104.3, \u22120.0) and the function component (<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\u20102.1, (\u22124.3, \u22120.0)). When examining the associations between PPT at individual sites and fibromyalgia disease severity, PPTs at the distal interphalangeal joint and tibialis anterior muscle were associated with both FIQ total score and the FIQ fatigue component.
