| dc.description.abstract | Objective: Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease characterized by diffuse or specific muscle, joint, or bone pain, fatigue, and a wide range of other symptoms. The aim of this study was to highlight the association between fibromyalgia and dermatological diseases. Material and Method: 66 female patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia between March and June 2007 in Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic and 79 healthy female control were enrolled to the controlled, cross-sectional study. All patients were seen in same day by the dermatologist. The patients' diagnoses were categorized into 14 different dermatological diseases. Results: The incidence of xerosis (respectively 32 vs 13 cases, p<0.001) and neurotic excoriation (respectively 11 vs 0 cases, p<0.001) were found to be significantly higher in fibromyalgia group than that of control group. The presence or absence of dermatological diseases in patients with fibromyalgia did not have a statistically significant impact to short form-36 quality of life. Conclusion: Our results showed that some stress-induced dermatological problems were common in patients with fibromyalgia. Further studies are necessary in order to have better idea about the relation between the skin problems and fibromyalgia. | en_US |
