Fibromyalgia and chronic primary low back pain are two chronic pain conditions with a significant biopsychosocial burden. Recently, the International Association for the Study of Pain has grouped them under the term chronic primary pain. To further explore similarities and differences between these two conditions, the objective of this scoping review is to explore the pain-related, physiological and psychological outcomes in individuals with fibromyalgia and low back pain.
