What is

(Revised) Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire

The Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) is an important tool for assessing the impact of fibromyalgia on daily life. It's used in both clinical and research settings to measure the severity of symptoms and monitor treatment outcomes. The FIQR consists of 21 questions across three domains: function, overall impact, and symptoms. Patients rate their experiences over the past seven days using a numeric rating scale, with scores ranging from 0 to 10. This questionnaire is easy to administer and provides a comprehensive picture of a patient's condition, making it a valuable resource for healthcare professionals. By using the FIQR, clinicians can develop targeted treatment plans and track patient progress over time, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes. The FIQR's practical application in clinical practice supports better management of fibromyalgia.

Scoring

The Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) can be scored using one main approach. 1. The total score is calculated by summing the scores of the three domains: function (9 items, scored 0-3), overall impact (2 items, scored 0-10), and symptoms (1 item each for pain, fatigue, sleep quality, stiffness, anxiety, and depression, scored 0-10). The domain scores are then adjusted to a 0-100 scale by multiplying the function score by 3.33, the overall impact score by 1.66 (though some sources directly average or sum these without adjustment), and the symptoms score by 1.66 (or directly averaging). The three adjusted domain scores are then summed and averaged to produce a total score ranging from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater impact of fibromyalgia.
