The impact of rumination on fibromyalgia pain after physical activity: an experimental study.

Some fibromyalgia (FM) patients engage in rumination (i.e. a chain of repetitive, passive and relatively uncontrollable thoughts focused on negative content) to cope with the pain and discomfort of daily activities.

Catastrophizing and rumination mediate the link between functional disabilities and anxiety/depression in fibromyalgia. A double-mediation model.

Unlabelled: Fibromyalgia can be considered to be a model of chronic pain resulting from dysregulation of pain processing. From a psychological point of view, it is possible to consider transdiagnostic processes that would participate in both the dysregulation of pain and associated emotions.

Objective: The aim of this study was to test the links that exist between the tendency to Repetitive Negative Thinking (RNT) and the anxious-depressive manifestations in fibromyalgia.
