    Audiovestibular Dysfunction in Patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome
    (2021) Tuncer, Mehbube; Coban, Kubra; Erbek, H.Seyra; 34309557
    OBJECTIVES: Fibromyalgia syndrome is a disorder of widespread pain with unknown etiology. These patients frequently suffer from otologic complaints. This study aims to analyze the audiovestibular functions in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome. METHODS: The study included 33 fibromyalgia patients and 33 healthy volunteers. All the study subjects underwent audiological assessment, multifrequency tympanometry, transient otoacoustic emission, and ocular and cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials tests. RESULTS: Pure-tone hearing thresholds of right and left ears were found to be decreased in fibromyalgia patients compared to controls (P < 0.05). Middle ear resonance frequency values were significantly decreased in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome compared to controls (P <.05). The values for signal-to-noise ratios were higher in controls than in the FMS patients. The difference was significant for 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz (P >.005). Cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential waves were obtained in all controls, but could not be obtained in 5 right ears and 4 left ears of the fibromyalgia patients (P <.05). Also, ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials were obtained in all controls, but could not be obtained in 7 right ears and 10 left ears of the patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (P <.05). CONCLUSION: Our findings support the presence of audiovestibular dysfunction in patients with fibromyalgia. Further research that focuses on the pathogenesis of these dysfunctions is required.

    Factors Associated with Fibromyalgia Syndrome in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
    (2019) Ozelsancak, Ruya; Analan, Pinar Doruk; Leblebici, Berrin; 0000-0002-3528-3712; 0000-0002-0788-8319; 30787502; AAA-8043-2021; AAD-5716-2021
    Purpose: We evaluated the prevalence of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and whether this syndrome is associated with gender, age, duration of PD, or other laboratory parameters. Methods: A total of 60 chronic PD patients (26 women, 34 men) and 60 healthy controls (30 women, 30 men) were included. We recorded each participant's age, gender, cause of kidney failure, PD duration, laboratory parameters, education level, and symptoms related to FMS, diagnosed according to the 2010 American College of Rheumatology criteria. Results: Eleven patients (18%) in the PD group and nine (15%) in the control group met the diagnostic criteria for FMS. There were no statistically significant differences in age; gender; education level; PD duration; laboratory parameters; or sleepdisturbance, fatigue, or cognitive symptoms between the FMS and non-FMS groups among the PD patients. We next compared control and PD patients with FMS. Both groups were of a similar age and gender and had similar sleep disturbance and cognitive symptoms, but more patients had fatigue in the control group. Conclusions: The prevalence of FMS among PD patients was similar to that in the general population, and FMS was not associated with gender, age, duration of PD, or other laboratory parameters.

    Sexual dysfunction, mood, anxiety, and personality disorders in female patients with fibromyalgia
    (2016) Kayhan, Fatih; Kucuk, Adem; Satan, Yilmaz; Ilgun, Erdem; Arslan, Sevket; Illik, Faik; 26937190
    Background: We aimed to investigate the current prevalence of sexual dysfunction (SD), mood, anxiety, and personality disorders in female patients with fibromyalgia (FM). Methods: This case-control study involved 96 patients with FM and 94 healthy women. The SD diagnosis was based on a psychiatric interview in accordance with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition criteria. Mood and anxiety disorders were diagnosed using the Structured Clinical Interview. Personality disorders were diagnosed according to the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM, Revised Third Edition Personality Disorders. Results: Fifty of the 96 patients (52.1%) suffered from SD. The most common SD was lack of sexual desire (n=36, 37.5%) and arousal disorder (n=10, 10.4%). Of the 96 patients, 45 (46.9%) had a mood or anxiety disorder and 13 (13.5%) had a personality disorder. The most common mood, anxiety, and personality disorders were major depression (26%), generalized anxiety disorder (8.3%), and histrionic personality disorder (10.4%). Conclusion: SD, mood, and anxiety disorders are frequently observed in female patients with FM. Pain plays a greater role in the development of SD in female patients with FM.
