  2. Soft Tissue (Non-articular) Rheumatism Prof.Mohamed Elwy AinShams U., 2015

  3. Soft-tissue rheumatic disorders causing pain outside joints may be classified as follows: 1. Generalized rheumatic pain due to systemic disorders. 2. Tendinitis and tenosynovitis. 3. Enthesopathies. 4. Bursitis. 5. Capsulitis. 6. Myositis. 7. Muscle cramps. 8. Fasciitis. 9. Fibromyalgia. 10. Panniculitis. 11. Neuritis. 12. Soft-tissue injury.

  4. The Normal Pain Processing Pathway Glutamate Substance P 4. The descending tract carries modulating impulses back to the dorsal horn • A signal is sent via the ascending tract to the brain, and perceived as pain Pain Perceived • Impulses from afferents depolarize dorsal horn neurons, then, extracellular Ca2+ diffuse into neurons causing the release of Pain Associated Neurotransmitters – Glutamate and Substance P • Stimulus sensed by the peripheral nerve (ie, skin) 1.

  5. Central Sensitization: A Theory for Pain Amplification in FM Central sensitization is believed to be an underlying cause of the amplified pain perception that results from dysfunction in the CNS1 May explain hallmark features of generalized heightened pain sensitivity2 Hyperalgesia – Amplified response to painful stimuli Allodynia - Pain resulting from normal stimuli Theory of central sensitization is supported by: Increased levels of pain neurotransmitters3,4 Glutamate Substance P fMRI data demonstrates low intensity stimuli in patients with FM comparable to high intensity stimuli in controls5 fMRI = functional magnetic resonance imaging 1.

  6. Central Sensitization Produces Abnormal Pain Signaling After nerve injury, increased input to the dorsal horn can induce central sensitization Perceived pain Nerve dysfunction Ascendinginput Descendingmodulation Nociceptive afferent fiber Induction of central sensitization Perceived pain(hyperalgesia/allodynia) Increased release of pain neurotransmitters glutamate and substance P Minimalstimuli Pain amplification Increased pain perception Increased pain perception 1.

  7. FM: An Amplified Pain Response 10 Pain in FM Normal pain response 8 Pain amplification response Hyperalgesia (when a pinprick causes an intense stabbing sensation) 6 Subjective pain intensity 4 Allodynia (hugs that feel painful) 2 0 Stimulus intensity Adapted from Gottschalk A and Smith DS. Am Fam Physician. 2001;63:1979-1986.

  8. 2.5% Why FM is important: Clauw, Daniel J. (16 April 2014). "Fibromyalgia". JAMA 311 (15): 1547. Very Common: *2-8% of the general population(Clauw and Daniel, 2014). *It is the 2nd most common Rhic. Dis. after OA. General population Ptn History 25% Misdiag.: *25% of patients referred to Rheuma.Clinics with +ve ANA had FMS. +ve ANA 25% Other speciality: In FM, anxiety/depression are present in ~25% of patients. FM

  9. ('Fibromyalgia Syndrome') (Fibrositis) ACR Rheumatol

  10. Patient presentation: Soft-tissue pain and tenderness + Sometimes with little palpable lumps Particularly in the neck and back regions (These are areas of pain but without redness, swelling nor hotness) Ptn History

  11. Clinical Feature: Exaggerated tenderness of normal tender points'. Tender point Exam: In normal subjects,  uncomfortable to firm pressure, But in fibromyalgia patients,  produce wince or withdrawal. The degree of pressure is important. “Dolorimeter” = “Standard pressure spring device” is ideal, but reasonable palpation (at 4kg) is enough for clinical exam. ولتشخيص المرض يكون 11 نقطة أو أكثر من ال18 مؤلمين ويمكن استعمال الضغط اليدوى حتى يحدث ابيضاض لجلد الأظافر. Exam. Deltoid LL Low Back UL

  12. Physical Exam Requirement Systematic palpation of the 18 tender point sites Palpation force is 4 kg or equal to the force needed to just blanch your thumbnail

  13. Clue to diagnose & Associated diagnostic findings

  14. Clue to diagnose: Fibromyalgia affects patients at 40s or 50s. Female preponderance (7/1 to 9/1) (Hawkins, Sept.2013). Clue to diagnose & Associated C/P Prof.Mohamed Elwy AinShams U., 2015

  26. Differential Diagnosis Prof.Mohamed Elwy AinShams U., 2015

  27. You Should Exclude D.D.

  28. Hypothesis of FM pathogenesis Prof.Mohamed Elwy AinShams U., 2015

  29. Many Theories: 1- Deficiency of serotonin: (or its precursor, tryptophan). 2- High substance P: increase production of substance P in the afferent neurons  increase pain awareness and sensitivity. 3- HPA dysfunction: Hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis (HPA) dysfunction, and other abnormalities of the “NeuroEndocrinal Axis”. 4- Muscle mitochondrial dysfunction & oxidative stress. 5- Viral etiology: Was reported in patients with chronic fatigue $, but in FM is lacking. 6- Life style and chronic stress. 7- Sympathetic hyperactivity. 8- Dopamine dysfunction: Some fibromyalgia patients responded in controlled trials to pramipexole, a dopamine agonist that selectively stimulates dopamine D2/D3 receptors and is used to treat both Parkinson's disease and restless leg syndrome. Theories of FM cause

  30. Many Theories (Cont.): 10- Sleep disturbance: This explain both the sleep disorder and pain associated with fibromyalgia. (due to poor relaxation at night) involving alpha-wave intrusion into Stage IV (non-REM) deep sleep. Theories of FM cause

  31. Local nodule Exam Prof.Mohamed Elwy AinShams U., 2015

  32. Local Gross Exam.  “Fibrositic” nodules: - Are small, tender lumps which may appear at or near sites of pain. - These ('trigger areas') often correspond to ‘acupuncture points‘. - Sometimes, but not always, lies on the 'classical Chinese meridians'. ******************* Local Histological Exam.   (1) Herniation of oedematous fat through fascia.  (2) Small round-cell infiltration.  (3) Type II Muscle atrophy+ fibre necrosis+ lipid accumulations. Nodules (Gross & Histology)

Adapted from Chakrabarty S and Zoorob R. Am Fam Physician. 2007;76(2);247-254.

  38. Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) “ACR” Diagnostic Criteria Widespread pain lasting ≥ 3 months 11 positive tender points out of possible 18 using 4 kg of palpation Occiput Low cervical Trapezius Supraspinatus Second rib Lateral epicondyle Gluteal Greater trochanter Knee Wolfe F, Smythe HA, Yunus MB, Bennett RM, Bombardier C, Goldenberg DL, et al. (1990) The American College of Rheumatology 1990 criteria for the classification of fibromyalgia: report of the multicenter criteria committee. Arthritis Rheum 33:160–72.

  39. (b) ACR (May, 2010) NewCriteria

  40. (b) New Criteria: (1) WPI (Widespread Pain Index) Scale: • Lists 19 areas of the body and you say where you've had pain in the last week. • You get 1 point for each area, so the score is 0-19.

  41. (2) SS Scale: a b The numbers assigned to each are added up, for a total of 0-12.

  42. For a diagnosis you need I+II+III (I) OR WPI of 3-6 And SS score of at least 9 WPI of at least 7 And SS score of at least 5, (II) Symptoms have persisted at this level for the past 3 months. Patient does not have any other disorder or cause to explain the pain. (III)

  43. Determining What’s Wrong

  44. How is FM diagnosed? Symptoms of FM are typically very non-specific, common to many other conditions. Many Symptoms cannot be objectively evaluated.

  45. Value of the New Criteria: 1- Eliminate the use of tender point exam. 2- It allows people with fewer painful areas but more severe symptoms to be diagnosed. 3- It includes cognitive symptoms. 4- It recognizes the difference between "fatigue" and "waking un-refreshed”. 5- Some flexibility is built in, which recognizes the fact that fibromyalgia impacts patients differently, and that symptoms can fluctuate. 6- Better sensitivity and accuracy than the 1990 criteria. Prof.Mohamed Elwy AinShams U., 2015

  46. Investigations FM is a diagnosis of Exclusion

  47. RF; ANA ALT & AST ESR CBC T3, T4 & TSH Blood Sugar CPK HCV Done : Either done to: Prove 1ry FMS ( being all normal ), OR: To diagnose 2ry FM.

  48. Treatment Who treat Fibromyalgia? Since the 1990s, fibromyalgia primarily has been treated by rheumatologists. Even so, it can be difficult to find a doctor who's willing and able to effectively diagnose and treat fibromyalgia. Even so, it can be difficult to find a doctor who's willing and able to effectively diagnose and treat fibromyalgia.

  49. Controversies ? It’s not a real illness, it’s in the “patient’s head” A real condition with severe physical effects in some, although psychologic factors including depression may be the major determinant of pain in others
