Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To describe possible differences in psychological factors in men compared to women with fibromyalgia syndrome (FM). METHODS: Forty men and 160 women with FM were evaluated for anxiety, stress, and depression measured by ordinal scales and validated psychological instruments. Clinical and psychological variables were evaluated by a protocol. RESULTS: Both men and women scored high in the psychological variables measured but the results were not significantly different between them. CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference between men and women with FM in their psychological status.
