Abstract

Introduction: Fibromyalgia is a syndrome of obscure pathogenesis without objective diagnostic criteria and is frequently associated with diagnostic delays due to symptomatic heterogeneity. This study aimed at assessing the response to two-point discrimination test in extremities, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score, and Widespread Pain Index (WPI) score in patients with fibromyalgia. Methods: The patient group consisted of 26 subjects diagnosed with fibromyalgia based on the 2016 revision to the American College of Rheumatology 2010 diagnostic criteria, while 25 healthy individuals comprised the control group. In both groups, basal amplitude and somatosensorial temporal discrimination (STD) measurements at the dorsum of the hands and feet were performed in addition to NLR measurements. Also, NRS and WPI were determined in fibromyalgia patients. Results: STD was significantly prolonged in all extremities among fibromyalgia patients as compared to controls. WPI and NRS were also increased, paralleling the STD measurements in all extremities (p

Özet

Amaç: Fibromiyalji sendromu patogenezi belirsizliğini koruyan bir sendrom olup objektif tanı kriteri olmadığı gibi semptomların çeşitliliği nedeniyle geç tanı alan hasta grubundan oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, fibromiyaljide iki nokta diskirminasyonun tüm ekstremitelerdeki yanıtlarını, nötrofil/lenfosit oranı (NLR), Numerik Derecelendirme Skalası (NRS), Yaygın Ağrı İndeksi– Wide spread Pain Index (WPI) ölçeklerini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Yöntem: 26 fibromiyalji hastası ve 25 kontrol grubu olacak şekilde iki grup oluşturuldu. American College of Rheumatology 2010 tanı kriterlerinin 2016 yılında revize edilmiş hali kullanılarak tanı konulmuş fibromiyalji hastaları çalışmaya dahil edildi. Her iki grubun dört ekstremitede el ve ayak dorsumundan bazal amplitüd ve somatosensoriyal temporal diskirminasyon (STD) ölçümleri yapıldı, NLR ölçüldü. Ayrıca fibromiyalji grubunda NRS ve WPI değerlerine bakıldı. Bulgular: Fibromiyalji hastalarında STD değerleri dört ekstremitede de kontrol grubuna göre istatiksel olarak anlamlı olacak şeklide belirgin uzamış bulundu. WPI ve NRS’de dört ekstremiteden ölçülen STD değerleri ile paralellik göstererek yüksek bulundu (p
