Aim: Fibromyalgia is a disease that is characterized by chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain, sleep disorders, fatigue and decreased pain threshold. The purpose of our study was to investigate the effect of physiotherapy on pain, depression and neck functions in patients with chronic cervical disc hernia accompanied by fibromyalgia. Materials and Methods:In total, 20 chronic cervical disc hernia patients who were diagnosed with fibromyalgia according to the 2010 American College of Rheumatology diagnostic criteria and 20 chronic cervical disc hernia patients without fibromyalgia were included in our study. Visual analogue scale (VAS), Beck depression inventory (BDI), and neck disability index (NDI) were performed to evaluate pain, depression and neck functions respectively. Patients were evaluated before therapy, immediately after therapy, and at 1-month control follow-up. Results:In both groups, VAS, BDI and NDI scores were significantly decreased in the period after therapy and at 1-month control follow-up compared to the pre-treatment period. No statistical difference was observed between two groups in terms of VAS, BDI and NDI scores before and after treatment. However, we found that VAS, BDI and NDI scores of cervical disc hernia patients with fibromyalgia were significantly higher than cervical disc hernia patients without fibromyalgia before treatment, after treatment and at 1-month control follow-up. Conclusion:We demonstrated that the effect of physical therapy on pain, depression, and neck function was the same in the group with fibromyalgia compared to the group without fibromyalgia.

This study aims to estimate the reliable prevalence of fibromyalgia using meta-analysis method. Available databanks were searched using appropriate keywords. According to the heterogeneity between the results (indicated by Cochrane and I square indices), random- or fixed-effects model was applied to combine the point prevalences. Meta-regression models were used to assess the suspected factors in the heterogeneity. In 65 selected papers, 81 evidences regarding prevalence of fibromyalgia among 3,609,810 subjects from general population and specific groups were investigated. The total prevalences (95% confidence intervals) of fibromyalgia among general population, women, men, patients referring to rheumatology and internal departments, patients with Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), hemodialysis patients and those with type 2 diabetes mellitus were estimated as of 1.78% (1.65, 1.92), 3.98% (2.80, 5.20), 0.01% (-0.04, 0.06), 15.2% (13.6, 16.90), 12.9% (12.70, 13.10), 6.30% (4.60, 7.90) and 14.80% (11.10, 18.40), respectively. In addition, prevalence of fibromyalgia in specified groups varied from 3.90% in hemodialysis patients to 80% in patients suffering from Behcet syndrome. This meta-analysis showed that prevalence of fibromyalgia in general population was significantly lower than that in populations with some diseases.

Effect of Fibromyalgia Symptoms on Outcome of Spinal Surgery

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Fibromyalgia symptoms were highly prevalent among patients scheduled for spinal surgery. A negative correlation was observed between presurgical severity of fibromyalgia symptoms and components of postsurgical SF-36. Patients with symptoms typical of fibromyalgia may have a less favorable outcome after spinal surgery. The clinical utility of surgical intervention in such patients should be carefully evaluated, and treatment specific for fibromyalgia might be considered before embarking on a surgical course.
