Psychological factors and physical and emotional distress are frequently identified in fibromyalgia (FM). Previous reports have explored the relationship between some of these variables and functional disability and emotional distress in the disease; however, additional links with other potential psychological factors are unknown. This study aimed to assess the association between psychological variables and functional disability and emotional distress in individuals with FM.
