What is Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ)
The Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) is a key tool for checking how fibromyalgia affects daily living and helps clinicians track patient progress. This self-report survey looks at the total spectrum of problems caused by the condition. It covers physical function plus current work status and overall well-being. Patients rate specific symptoms like morning stiffness, pain, fatigue, and depression using standard visual analogue scales. It also asks about the ability to handle normal tasks like shopping, cooking, and cleaning without needing extra help. Taking only a few minutes to finish, the FIQ is easy to use in busy clinics or research settings. The reliable scoring system turns raw numbers into a clear picture of health status. This makes it simple to spot changes over time and adjust treatment plans so patients can manage their symptoms better.
The Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) can be scored using one main approach to measure patient status. First, you assess physical functioning, work status, and symptoms like pain or fatigue across ten items. Since questions use different scales, you must normalise each response to a standard zero to ten range. For the physical function section, average the sub items. Once everything is standardised, simply add the ten scores together to get a total between zero and 100. Higher numbers mean the condition is having a bigger impact on daily life, helping doctors track changes over time.
