does not include trigger points anymore.
They are no longer considered valid criteria. Fibro is now considered a CENTRALLY mediated disorder. That is in the brain, there is some genetic reason for pain signals to be interpreted higher in Fibro patients than non-fibro patients. Peripheral issues are considered pain generators now~~examples are trauma, vaccines etc. Peripheral inflammatory pain generators are still treated in the periphery (arthritis etc), but most treatments today deal with central pain centers in the brain.
