Using the Chinese Indigenization FS Scale in the Diagnosis of Fibromyalgia: Specificity and Sensitivity in Clinical Practice
This study aimed to evaluate the specificity and sensitivity of the diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia after conducting local validation in China.
Duloxetine Metabolism and Fibromyalgia
People with fibromyalgia report generalized body pain ("pain all over"), increased sensitivity to painful stimulation, chronic tiredness or low energy, sleep problems, and other physical and functional problems. The exact cause of the disorder is poorly understood, and treatment can be difficult. The degree to which duloxetine is helpful for …
Pain Processing in Inflammatory and Non-Inflammatory Chronic Pain Syndromes
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic musculoskeletal pain disorder that afflicts up to 4% of the general population. The evaluation of pain mechanisms in FM has shown predominant central abnormalities and therefore has been designated as nociplastic pain syndrome. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by polyarthritis and pain from inflamed tissues, …
Ultrasound Assessment of Entheseal Sites in Patients with Seronegative Spondyloarthropathy with or Without Fibromyalgia
Seronegative spondyloarthropathies are a family of joint disorders that classically include ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) associated arthritis, reactive arthritis (formerly Reiter syndrome; ReA), and undifferentiated SpA. Enthesitis, or inflammation of the sites where the tendons or ligaments insert into the bone, is a key …
Screening for Fibromyalgia Among Patients With Suspected Endometriosis
The main purposes of the study are: To determine the prevalence of fibromyalgia among patients with suspected endometriosis during their initial visit to an endometriosis clinic. Secondary aims include staging of endometriosis in these patients according to the AAGL (16,17) endometriosis classification and correlate the prevalence of fibromyalgia with ultrasound …
Assessment of Posture, Balance, Gait Disorders in Patients With Fibromyalgia
The study aims to determine the posture, balance and gait disorders objectively in patients with fibromyalgia (FM) and to investigate their relationships with disease-related parameters.
Modulation of Cortical Brain Activity During Attentional Control
The goal of this study is to determine whether an open-loop sham neurofeedback system can effectively modulate EEG alpha rhythms, which are associated with attentional control. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does positive sham neurofeedback lead to a decrease in relative EEG alpha power compared to a …
Investigation of the Relationship Between Central Sensitization and Balance in Fibromyalgia
The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between central sensitization parameters and changes in static and dynamic balance in patients with fibromyalgia. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do central sensitization parameters differ in patients with fibromyalgia compared to healthy individuals? How is balance performance …
Investigation of the Cultural Adaptation, Validity, and Reliability of the Turkish Version of the CAP Questionnaire
The "CAP questionnaire," developed by modifying the CAP-Knee questionnaire to assess potential nociplastic pain features in painful musculoskeletal disorders, has been described. The "CAP questionnaire" is used in people with musculoskeletal pain and diagnostic subgroups of osteoarthritis, back pain, and fibromyalgia. There is no Turkish version of the CAP questionnaire. …
Electroacupuncture Pain Treatment, Mechanical Hyperalgesia, Quality of Life & Expression of Mu+ B Cells in Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a complex, multifactorial syndrome characterized by widespread chronic pain with hyperal- gesia and allodynia and a constellation of somatic and psychological manifestations, including fatigue, sleep dis- orders, depression, anxiety, gastrointestinal and cognitive disorders. FM is now recognized as one of the most common chronic pain conditions and …
