Abstract
Patients with fibromyalgia complain of muscle pain, increased fatiguability and low physical endurance. However, no signs of specific muscle pathology have been determined in fibromyalgia. Alterations in muscle function may r eflect effects of deconditioning or inhibition of contraction due to spinal or Supraspinal mechanisms.
