Journal of Musculoskeletal Pain, 1995•Taylor & FrancisObjectives: To study the association of pain and weather in patients with primary
fibromyalgia. Methods: Daily pain recordings in 39 patients during three periods with a large
changes in atmospheric pressure. Association of pain and meteorological data was studied
by parametric correlations. Results: Pain experienced by the patients was not affected by the
changes in weather. Conclusion: The results do not support the effect of atmospheric
pressure on pain in patients with fibromyalgia.
