APPLICANT?S DESCRIPTION: This grant focuses on individual differences in the stress response as significant factors determining who develops a chronic pain syndrome characterized by widespread pain, and who is unable to recover from it. Maladaptive responses to pain and withdrawal from positive social interactions are studied as key factors that underlie the affective distress and persistence of fibromyalgia symptoms. To test this model three well established methods of inquiry are used: 1. Field assessments of responses to stress, developed in prior research on arthritis patients, and 2. Laboratory tests of stress reactivity under controlled experimental conditions. 3. Longitudinal follow-up of patient status 2 years after pre-tests. Two groups of Osteoarthritis participants are studied: (1) 150 OA participants who meet criteria for Fibromyalgia (FM), and (2) 200 participants with osteoarthritis (OA) who report levels of pain comparable to the FM group, but who do not display the classic tender point symptoms found among those with FM. Longitudinal assessments on all subjects as well as thorough initial testing will permit three types of comparisons. 1.The examination of case-control differences between groups of FM respondents and those with OA only. 2.The examination of variables predictive of recovery among those with FM. 3. The examination of those factors predictive of the onset of widespread pain among the OA sample that displayed only regional pain at the initial assessment.

申请人描述：该补助金重点关注个体差异 压力反应是决定谁发展为慢性疼痛的重要因素 以广泛疼痛为特征且无法康复的综合征 它。对疼痛的适应不良反应和退出积极的社交活动 互动被作为造成情感困扰的关键因素进行研究 以及纤维肌痛症状的持续存在。为了测试这个模型三好 使用既定的调查方法： 1. 对答复的实地评估 压力，在先前对关节炎患者的研究中开发出来，以及 2. 实验室 在受控实验条件下进行应激反应性测试。 3. 预测试后 2 年对患者状况进行纵向随访。两组 研究骨关节炎参与者：(1) 150 名 OA 参与者 纤维肌痛 (FM) 标准，以及 (2) 200 名患有骨关节炎的参与者 (OA) 报告的疼痛程度与 FM 组相当，但没有报告 显示 FM 患者中常见的典型压痛点症状。 对所有科目的纵向评估以及彻底的初步测试 将允许三种类型的比较。 1.病例对照检查 FM 受访者群体与仅 OA 受访者群体之间的差异。 2. 的 检查 FM 患者康复的预测变量。 3. 的 检查那些预测广泛疼痛发作的因素 最初评估时仅显示局部疼痛的 OA 样本。
