Objetivos

Obtener una visión genérica actualizada de la investigación en fibromialgia para entenderla mejor. Se presenta un análisis de productividad (por años y autores) y un análisis de materias (por revistas y áreas temáticas).

Método

Se ha utilizado las bases computarizadas de la Web of Knowledge: Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) y Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) de la Web of Science. Para la exploración de las áreas temáticas se ha realizado un análisis de contenido de una muestra de 356 artículos, obtenida por medio del procedimiento aleatorio simple, utilizando la tabla de números al azar (riesgo α=0,05; zα=1,962; p=q=0,5) con un error muestral del 5%, con el propósito de llegar a algunas conclusiones generalizables del estudio de este campo temático.

Resultados y conclusiones

Se han obtenido un total de 3.201 referencias de artículos. En el período 1998-2003 aumenta de forma considerable la producción de artículos (43,5%) con respecto al período anterior 1992-1997 (27,4%). En la última década (1996-2005) se triplica la producción de artículos con respecto a los primeros 15 años (1980-1995). Hay un total de 306 revistas diferentes que publican sobre esta área. El área temática más trabajada ha sido el estudio de los potenciales mecanismos patofisiológicos (31,01%). Hay un incremento de artículos de psiquiatría y psicología en los últimos años.

Objectives

To obtain a general and updated vision of research into fibromyalgia for its better understanding. A productivity analysis (by year and author) and a content analysis (by journal and topic) was carried out.

Methodology

The computer databases of the Web of Knowledge: Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIEXPANDED) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) of the Web of Science were used. For the exploration of the topics a content analysis was done on a sample of 356 articles, obtained using a simple randomized procedure based on a random number table (risk α=0.05; zα=1.962; p=q=0.5) with a sample error of 5%, with the purpose of reaching some general conclusions in the study of this topic area.

Results and conclusions

Overall, 3,201 article references have been obtained. In the years 1998 to 2003 the production of scientific articles increased considerably (43.5%) in comparison to the previous period, from 1992 to 1997 (27.4%). In the past decade (1996-2005) the production of articles tripled with respect to the first fifteen years (1980-1995). There is an overall 306 different journals that publish on this subject. The topic area that received most attention has been the study of the physiopathologic mechanisms (31.01%). There is an increment in the articles of psychiatry and psycology in the last few years.
