Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Fibromyalgia syndrome is characterized by chronic pain, fatigue, sleep problems and functional symptoms. Fatigue, anxiety and depression disorders, poor quality of life, sleep disorders, decreased concentration, and impaired cognitive functions are non-specific pain-related symptoms.

Various studies have reported decreased chest expansion, maximal ventilatory volume and maximal expiratory pressure in fibromyalgia patients with widespread body pain. Additionally, dyspnea is a symptom associated with respiratory muscle weakness and is associated with general fatigue. In these individuals, lower data are obtained in daily living activities and general health evaluation surveys. We did not find any study in the literature regarding the relationship between diaphragm thickness and fibromyalgia symptoms. In the light of these data, we aimed to evaluate the thickness of the diaphragm, one of the most important inspiratory muscles, in fibromyalgia patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Demographic information of all individuals included in the study will be collected. Daily living activity will be evaluated with Short Form-36 (SF-36), Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire (PSQI) and Beck Depression Inventory. In order to evaluate the respiratory function test in both the fibromyalgia and control groups, three consecutive measurements will be taken with a hand spirometer and the arithmetic average of these three measurements will be recorded. In fibromyalgia and control patients, diaphragm thickness was measured at 8-9 degrees on the right anterior axillary line with a 6-14 Mhz linear, conventional ultrasound probe (Mindray DC-8, Shenzen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics CO. LTD., P.R. China) in the supine position. It will be measured at the end of inspiration and expiration from the intercostal space. Three measurements will be made and the arithmetic average will be evaluated.
