Abstract

A Medline literature review found that the total number of medical articles dealing with fibromyalgia (FM) has increased 5-fold during the past decade. The percentage of articles devoted to FM in rheumatology journals has increased modestly, from 1.3 to 2.6%. There is a wide variability of the number of articles on FM among these rheumatology journals. Recently, nonrheumatology journals have been publishing more articles on FM.
