Myalgia is the medical term for muscle aches and pain.[1]
Presentation[edit | edit source]
Prevalence[edit | edit source]
- In a 2001 Belgian study, 87.1% of patients meeting the Fukuda criteria and 90.1% of patients meeting the Holmes criteria, in a cohort of 2073 CFS patients, reported myalgia.[2]
- Katrina Berne, PhD, reports a prevalence of 65-95% for muscle and/or joint pain, neck pain.[3]
Symptom recognition[edit | edit source]
- In the Canadian Consensus Criteria (CCC), pain is a required criteria for diagnosis. It requires that "there is a significant degree of myalgia. Pain can be experienced in the muscles, and/or joints, and is often widespread and migratory in nature. Often there are significant headaches of new type, pattern or severity."[4]
- In the Fukuda criteria, the symptom of muscle pain can be used to help form a diagnosis.[5]
- In the Holmes criteria, muscle discomfort or myalgia is an optional criteria for diagnosis, under the section Minor Symptom Criteria.[6]
Muscle pain is a potential symptom of Long COVID in the World Health Organization's definition.[7]
