“…In infectious diseases this rate was found as 25% in hepatitis B and 18.9% in hepatitis C (10,22). In conditions with chronic pain, FMS frequency was determined to be 22% in migraine (23), 21.6% in cervical spine injury (11) and 27.3% in chronic low back pain (24). In the study conducted by Ozturk et al (25) In this study, we demonstrated a normal prevalence of FMS among patients with NSD.…”

Objectives: Some studies conducted with patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome [OSAS] have suggested an association between sleep-disordered breathing [SDB] and fibromyalgia syndrome [FMS]. Nasal septum deviation [NSD] is a common physical disorder of the nose and it manifests itself with similar complaints, like respiratory distress and headache, as in patients with OSAS. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of FMS in patients with NSD. Methods: Consecutive patients, 18 to 60 years old, evaluated in an academic otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic were prospectively recruited for this study. Patients with nasal septal deviation were included in the nasal septum deviation group. Patients without nasal symptom deviation were recruited to serve as controls. All recruited cases were assessed by a single physiatrist for FMS. The FMS diagnosis was made on the basis of the 1990 American College of Rheumatology Research Classification Criteria. Results: One hundred ninety-nine consecutive patients, 18 to 60 years old, were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into two groups as those with nasal symptom deviation [n ¼ 115] and those without nasal symptom deviation [control group, n ¼ 84]. Fibromyalgia syndrome was diagnosed in six NSD patients [5.2%] and in four [4.8%] control patients. No differences were noted in the prevalence of FMS between the two groups [p ¼ 0.578]. Conclusion: In this study, we demonstrated a normal prevalence of FMS among patients with NSD. Although some studies suggest a relation between sleep disordered breathing and FMS, we could not find any relationship between NSD and FMS. This result may be associated with the fact that patients with OSAS and morbid obesity were excluded from our study. Future studies are warranted to clarify the association between obstructive sleep-disordered breathing and FMS.

Purpose: This study was aimed to investigate the presence of dysphagia with multidimensional objective tests in FM female patients with and without dysphagia symptom compared to healthy female subjects. Methods: A case control study was conducted on 165 subjects (21 FM patients with dysphagia symptom, 62 FM patients without dysphagia symptom and 82 healthy subjects). All subjects were evaluated with a clinical screening test, endoscopy, electrophysiology of swallowing (dysphagia limit and swallowing intervals) and musculoskeletal ultrasound (cross-sectional thickness and area of swallowing muscles). Patients (with and without dysphagia symptom) and healthy subjects were compared in terms of all evaluation parameters. Results: The mean age of 165 subjects was [Formula: see text] years and all subjects ([Formula: see text], 100%) were female. Endoscopic evaluation results were similar among three groups ([Formula: see text]). Both the functional evaluation of swallowing measured by swallowing intervals ([Formula: see text]-value between 0.001 and 0.004) and the structural features assessed by the ultrasound ([Formula: see text]-value between 0.001 and 0.007) were significantly impaired in patient groups compared to healthy subjects. FM patients without dysphagia symptom also had significant impairments in function ([Formula: see text]-value between 0.001 and 0.004 for swallowing intervals) and structural features ([Formula: see text]-value between 0.001 and 0.007 for cross-sectional thickness and area of swallowing muscles) compared to healthy subjects. Conclusion: The structure and function of swallowing may be affected in patients with FM, even without dysphagia symptoms.
