Abstract This unblinded preliminary case-control study was done to demonstrate functional and structural changes in the microcirculation of patients with primary fibromyalgia FM . We studied 10 women years of age with FM diagnosed in accordance with the classification criteria of the American College of Rheumatology and controls in three groups n 10 in each group - age-matched women who were healthy or who had rheumatoid arthritis or systemic scleroderma SSc . All 40 subjects were tested within a 5-week period by the same investigators using two noninvasive methods laser fluxmetry and capillary microscopy. The FM patients were compared with the healthy controls negative controls and with rheumatoid arthritis patients and SSc patients positive controls . FM patients had fewer capillaries in the nail fold P and significantly more capillary dilatations P .
