✦ Synopsis

Juvenile fibromyalgia syndrome, a form of nonarticular rheumatism, is a clinical condition affecting children and adolescents. To date, it has received little or no attention in the professional literature. Occupational therapists have an important role to play in the assessment and management of this paediatric client group. A literature review, the clinical symptoms, prognosis and possible aetiology of this clinical syndrome are presented. The potential role for occupational therapists with paediatric clients diagnosed with juvenile fibromyalgia syndrome is then briefly described.
