It is characterized by moderate to severe musculoskel - etal pain and allodynia, but its pathogenesis appears confined to the nociceptive structures of the central nervous system. From a pathogenetic point of view, indeed, no clear muscle pathology has been demonstrated in FMS (1, 2), while increasing evidence suggests a disturbance in pain perception that is genetically conditioned. In our review we will consider five “keypoints” that we think determine the origin and maintenance of the pain syndrome that we define as fibromyalgia...}, number={s1}, journal={Reumatismo}, author={Stisi, S. and Cazzola, M. and Buskila, D. and Spath, M. and Giamberardino, M.A. and Sarzi-Puttini, P. and Arioli, G. and Alciati, A. and Leardini, G. and Gorla, R. and Marsico, M. and Ceccherelli, F. and Bazzichi, L. and Carignola, R. and Gracely, R.H. and Salaffi, F. and Altomonte, L. and Atzeni, F.}, year={2008}, month={Mar.}, pages={25–35} }
