The term [[fibromyalgia]] was not used until 1976 when Dr. P.K. Hench used it to describe [[fibromyalgia]] symptoms. Many names, including "muscular [[rheumatism]]", "[[fibrositis]]", "psychogenic [[rheumatism]]", and "[[neurasthenia]]" were applied historically to symptoms resembling those of [[fibromyalgia]]. The term [[fibromyalgia]] was coined by researcher Mohammed Yunus as a synonym for [[fibrositis]] and was first used in a scientific publication in 1981. [[Fibromyalgia]] is from the Latin fibra (fiber) and the Greek words myo ([[muscle]]) and algos ([[pain]]). The first clinical, controlled study of the characteristics of fibromyalgia syndrome was published in 1981, providing support for symptom associations. In 1984, a connection between fibromyalgia syndrome and other similar conditions was proposed and in 1986, trials of the first proposed medications for [[fibromyalgia]] were published. A 1987 article in the Journal of the American Medical Association used the term "fibromyalgia syndrome" while saying it was a "controversial condition." The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) published its first classification criteria for [[fibromyalgia]] in 1990, although these are not strictly diagnostic criteria.
In 1900, the first case study of fibromyalgia was conducted. It was known by other names such as muscular [[rheumatism]] and fibrosita. In 1904, Sir William Gowers coined the term “fibrositis.In 1976, Dr. P.K. Hench used the term "fibromyalgia" for the first time.
