Fibromyalgia has been known by French rheumatologists for more than 15 years. However, only recently have teaching and basic, clinical and epidemiological research been developed on this topic in France. Management of the fibromyalgia patient should benefit from this recent evolution, all the more so since the French government took action to facilitate the medical treatment of chronic pain and to support the development of algology in France.
