Comparing physical activity practice, pain and psychological characteristics in individuals with fibromyalgia and individuals with low back pain
Individuals reporting a diagnosis of FM exhibit greater symptoms severity and engage less in high-intensity physical activities than individuals with CLBP/FM+ and CLBP/FM-. Identifying a subgroup of individuals with CLBP/FM+ may help recognize mixed pain profiles and inform more personalized tailor management strategies.
