Method A cross-sectional survey design was used to investigate FMS patients who were continuously treated at the Department of Rheumatology

Guang′anmen Hospital

tender points count（TPC）

and the types of TCM syndromes

which were recorded by doctors; the second part was the condition of FMS

which was consisting of the assessment of physical and psychological symptoms

fibromyalgia impact questionnaire（FIQ）

multidimensional fatigue scale（MAF）

Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index（PSQI）

Baker Depression Scale 2 nd Edition（BDI-Ⅱ）

Pressure Perception Scale（PSS）

Short-Form 36-item Health Survey（SF-36）. SF-36 can be divided into 2 component domains

physical component score（PCS） and mental component score（MCS）. The total score of the physical symptom-related scale=pain VAS score+FIQ total score+MAF total score+PSQI total score+SF-36 PCS+TPC; total psychological symptom-related scale score=BDI-Ⅱtotal score+PSS total score+ SF-36 MCS. Results A total of 124 FMS patients was included

93（75%） among those with the main syndrome of liver stagnation. Pearson correlation analysis showed that in FMS patients with liver-qi stagnation syndrome

the physical symptoms were positively correlated with psychological symptoms（r=0.470

P<0.001）. Specifically

it was manifested that the FIQ total score

NAS

MAF

PSQI and SF-36 PCS had a correlation with the degree of depression
