Researchers are testing a new questionnaire called the Emotional Allodynia Questionnaire (AEQ) to see if it can reliably help doctors identify fibromyalgia. The study compares people with fibromyalgia to people with other chronic pain conditions to see if this questionnaire is accurate at telling them apart. This research will help doctors diagnose fibromyalgia more easily and understand how emotional sensitivity contributes to the condition.
Fibromyalgia is often hard to diagnose because it doesn't show up on standard tests like X-rays or blood work. This study exists to develop and validate a simple questionnaire tool that could help doctors recognize fibromyalgia more quickly and accurately by measuring how the nervous system responds to emotional stress and pain.

You will complete a set of self-administered questionnaires at your first visit that ask about your pain, emotions, anxiety, depression, and how you cope with difficult feelings. About 40 days later, you will complete the same questionnaires again so researchers can check if the answers are consistent. The entire process takes place at Italian pain treatment centers and involves only paper-based forms and questionnaires—no medications, procedures, or blood draws are required.
