Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund

Die planmäßige Aktualisierung der S3-Leitlinie zum Fibromyalgiesyndrom (FMS; AWMF-Registernummer 041/004) wurde ab März 2011 vorgenommen.

Material und Methoden

Die Leitlinie wurde unter Koordination der Deutschen Interdisziplinären Vereinigung für Schmerztherapie (DIVS) von 9 wissenschaftlichen Fachgesellschaften und 2 Patientenselbsthilfeorganisationen entwickelt. Acht Arbeitsgruppen mit insgesamt 50 Mitgliedern wurden ausgewogen in Bezug auf Geschlecht, medizinischen Versorgungsbereich, potenzielle Interessenkonflikte und hierarchische Position im medizinischen bzw. wissenschaftlichen System besetzt.

Die Literaturrecherche erfolgte über die Datenbanken Medline, PsycInfo, Scopus und Cochrane Library (bis Dezember 2010). Die Graduierung der Evidenzstärke erfolgte nach dem Schema des Oxford Center for Evidence Based Medicine. Die Formulierung und Graduierung der Empfehlungen erfolgte in einem mehrstufigen, formalisierten Konsensusverfahren. Die Leitlinie wurde von den Vorständen der beteiligten Fachgesellschaften begutachtet.

Ergebnisse und Schlussfolgerung

Die klinische Diagnose des FMS kann sowohl nach den Klassifikationskriterien des American College of Rheumatology (ACR) von 1990 (mit Untersuchung der „tender points“) als auch ohne Untersuchung von „tender points“ anhand der modifizierten vorläufigen diagnostischen Kriterien des ACR von 2010 oder der Kriterien der deutschen AWMF-Leitlinie zum Fibromyalgiesyndrom erfolgen.

Abstract

Background

The scheduled update to the German S3 guidelines on fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) by the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies (“Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Wissenschaftlichen Medizinischen Fachgesellschaften”, AWMF; registration number 041/004) was planned starting in March 2011.

Materials and methods

The development of the guidelines was coordinated by the German Interdisciplinary Association for Pain Therapy (“Deutsche Interdisziplinären Vereinigung für Schmerztherapie”, DIVS), 9 scientific medical societies and 2 patient self-help organizations. Eight working groups with a total of 50 members were evenly balanced in terms of gender, medical field, potential conflicts of interest and hierarchical position in the medical and scientific fields.

Literature searches were performed using the Medline, PsycInfo, Scopus and Cochrane Library databases (until December 2010). The grading of the strength of the evidence followed the scheme of the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine. The formulation and grading of recommendations was accomplished using a multi-step, formal consensus process. The guidelines were reviewed by the boards of the participating scientific medical societies.

Results and conclusion

The clinical diagnosis of FMS can be established by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 1990 classification criteria (with tender point examination), by the modified preliminary diagnostic ACR 2010 criteria or by the diagnostic criteria of the German interdisciplinary guideline (AWMF) on FMS.
