Key clinical point: Models of depression should differentiate between depressed patients with a chronic pain condition and those without pain.

Major finding: Depressed patients with comorbid fibromyalgia (FM) had higher levels of depressive symptoms and greater cognitive rigidity.

Study details: A comparison of the cognitive rigidity of 31 patients with depression and FM with 31 matched patients who had depression but not FM. All participants had taken part in a previous randomized controlled trial that assessed the efficacy of a dilemma-focused intervention for depression.

Disclosures: The research was funded by Spain’s Ministry of Science and Innovation.
