Objective
The FIQR was developed in response to known deficiencies of the FIQ with the help of a patient focus group.
Intended Population
Patient suffering from Fibromyalgia
Method of Use
The FIQR has the same 3 domains as the FIQ (that is, function, overall impact and symptoms). It differs from the FIQ in having modified function questions and the inclusion of questions on memory, tenderness, balance and environmental sensitivity. All questions are graded on a 0–10 numeric scale.
