Validation of the modified 2010 American College of Rheumatology diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia in a Spanish population

Abstract

The m-2010c, with the same cut-off points as the original version, are a valid tool for the diagnosis of FM in our population. Whenever possible, the combination of the 1990c and m-2010c is recommended (patients have to meet one of the two criteria to be diagnosed), since this approach showed the best diagnostic characteristics.
