| The Fibromyalgia Impact
Questionnaire (FIQ) is an instrument designed to quantitate the overall
impact of fibromyalgia over many dimensions (e.g. function, pain level,
fatigue, sleep disturbance, psychological distress etc.). It is scored
from 0 to 100 with the latter number being the worst case. The average
score for patients seen in tertiary care settings is about 50. The FIQ is
widely used to assess change in fibromyalgia status and has been
translated into several
languages.
The FIQ is free. You may use the FIQ
without asking permission, but it is expected that you will reference it
in any publication.
