Fibromyalgia is a severe and disabling chronic pain syndrome affecting millions of people worldwide. Various patients' subgroups were identified using different atheoretical measures, hardly effective to tailor treatments. Previous literature findings showed the relevance of fibromyalgia patients' illness perceptions in adjusting to the disease. The present study aims to identify clusters of fibromyalgia patients based on their illness perceptions and investigate whether they can differ across pain, mood, physical functioning, catastrophising, and pain acceptance measures.

Abstract
Fibromyalgia is a severe and disabling chronic pain syndrome affecting millions of people worldwide. Various patients' subgroups were identified using different atheoretical measures, hardly effective to tailor treatments. Previous literature findings showed the relevance of fibromyalgia patients' illness perceptions in adjusting to the disease. The present study aims to identify clusters of fibromyalgia patients based on their illness perceptions and investigate whether they can differ across pain, mood, physical functioning, catastrophising, and pain acceptance measures.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
