Juvenile Primary Fibromyalgia in a Female Adolescent Psychiatric Population
The purpose of this study was to identify clinical characteristics and estimate the
prevalence of Juvenile Primary Fibromyalgia in a female inpatient psychiatric population. The
secondary purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of an intervention
(psychoeducational seminar and relaxation technique) on reducing the symptoms of Juvenile
Primary Fibromyalgia Syndrome. We looked at the short-term and long-term effects of this
intervention in comparison to the control (skin care seminar).

intervention in comparison to the control (skin care seminar).
The specific aims of phase one of this study were to estimate the prevalence of Juvenile
Primary Fibromyalgia Syndrome (JPFS) in an inpatient female psychiatric population and to
identify characteristics associated with JPFS in this population. We chose to explore two
primary hypotheses. Because of the common link between adult fibromyalgia and anxiety and
depression, we hypothesize that those with JPFS will score higher on measures of these
symptoms. Given the adult literature on the suspected link between physical and or sexual
abuse and adult fibromyalgia, we also hypothesized that adolescents who meet criteria for
JPFS will have higher rates of sexual and physical abuse.
The other specific aim of this study was to determine the short- and long-term impact of an
intervention on reduction of JPFS symptoms. The intervention was a psychoeducational seminar
on JPFS (pain management, diet, exercise and sleep hygiene) followed by a relaxation
technique (audio-guided CD). The control group was involved in an educational seminar on skin
care (WITHOUT relaxation technique). Study measures were obtained immediately before and
after the intervention/control seminars (short-term) and 8 weeks after discharge (long-term).
Each group was discharged with a CD player and CD with relaxation technique or skin care
seminar. Participants recorded the use of the CD's and completed follow up questionnaires 8
weeks after discharge from the hospital.
