Hypervigilance to Experimental Pain in Flbrornyalgia Pain Pa- tients. GARY B. ROLLMAN, Universityo/Westem Ontario, & STE- PHAN LAUTENBACHER, Max Planck Institute for Psychiatry, Munich-Earlier studies have demonstrated hyperresponsiveness among patients suffering from fibromyalgia, a rheumatological disorder involv- ing widespread muscle pain. Here, pressure pain thresholds, electrical pain thresholds, and heat pain thresholds were significantly lower for 26 female patients compared to an age-matched control group. Group detection thresholds were generally similar. The data indicate that hyper- vigilance to experimentally induced pain among fibromyalgia patients reflects a perceptual amplification of all noxious stimuli rather than only those which affect muscle afferents.
