Resum

This study examines the clinical utility of an electronic diary (ED) in the monitoring of the clinical manifestations of fibromyalgia (FM), compared to traditional paper-pencil self-reports. Fourteen women with FM completed an interview, several questionnaires, and an ED for a week (several times a day) recording pain, fatigue, sleep, difficulty in thinking, emotional distress, difficulty in daily functioning, coping with the disease, and stress. There were no differences in symptoms throughout the different moments of the day. A sleep latency of 45.36 minutes and sleep duration of 6.25 hours was observed. Significant correlations were found between ED measures depending on the time of day, and between ED measures and questionnaires. The ED showed to be useful for the evaluation of FM symptomatology and could be a key component in psychological intervention programs.
