The FM/a^® Test is the first and currently the only definitive blood test to objectively diagnose fibromyalgia. It is the result of award-winning research and independent clinical studies performed at the University of Illinois College of Medicine. Since 2012, the FM/a^® fibromyalgia test has successfully diagnosed thousands of patients

Patients with fibromyalgia have been shown to have an irregular pattern of chemokine and cytokine proteins in their immune system. The FM/a® fibromyalgia test analyzes these patterns in the immune system’s white blood cells. Test results are based on a 1-100 scoring system, with scores above 50 indicating a positive fibromyalgia diagnosis.
