Description
Alberto Corriero and co-authors publish a 2026 first test of a new questionnaire in fibromyalgia care. The scale measures what they call emotional allodynia: strong upset feelings in response to mild social cues, such as a slow reply. No standard tool measured this trait before.
Just over a hundred clinic patients filled in the eleven-item scale plus well-known pain and mood measures. The items hung together very well, and one clear dimension sat behind the answers. Scores moved with central sensitization, pain catastrophizing, trouble handling emotions, depression, and anxiety. Splitting patients by this scale and a sensitization list gave four profiles with clear contrasts. The authors call the tool promising and ask for larger repeat studies.
