Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the nutritional behaviours of female patients with fibromyalgia according to the healthy population and the relationship of these behaviours with the current health status of the patient.

In the investigatgor's clinical practice, eating-related problems (increased or decreased appetite, uncontrolled eating, etc.) are observed in fibromyalgia patients. In this study, it will be investigated whether this situation is different from healthy population and whether it is related with the healt status.

Patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia according to 2013 American College of Rheumatology criteria and healthy volunteers are planned to be included in the study.

Demographic data (sex, age, level of education, job, socio-economic situation) will be questioned and their body mass indexes (BMI) will be calculated from all participitants All participants' eating behaviour will be questioned with Three Factor Eating Questionnaire.

In fibromyalgia patients, effect of fibromyalgia on the daily life of the patients will be questioned with Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 40 years (ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available.

Fibromiyalgia Patients
Patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia according to 2013 American College of Rheumatology criteria are planned to be included in this arm.
Other: Eating Behaviours
Patients' eating behaviour will be questioned with Three Factor Eating Questionnaire. The 18-item Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire is a scale that measures three domains of eating behavior: cognitive restraint , uncontrolled eating and emotional eating.
Other: Health Status
The effect of fibromyalgia on the daily life of the patients will be questioned with Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ). The FIQ was developed from information gathered from patient reports, functional status instruments, and clinical observations. This instrument measures physical functioning, work status (missed days of work and job difficulty), depression, anxiety, morning tiredness, pain, stiffness, fatigue, and well-being over the past week.
Healthy Volunteers
Healthy volunteers are planned to be included in this arm.
Other: Eating Behaviours
Patients' eating behaviour will be questioned with Three Factor Eating Questionnaire. The 18-item Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire is a scale that measures three domains of eating behavior: cognitive restraint , uncontrolled eating and emotional eating.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
eating behaviour
Time Frame: 7 days
Participants' eating behaviour will be questioned with Three Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ). The TFEQ contains 51 items (questions) and measures three dimensions of human eating behavior 'cognitive restraint of eating' (Factor I - 21 items) 'disinhibition' (Factor II - 16 items) 'hunger' (Factor III - 14 items). Each item scores either 0 or 1 point. The minimum score for factors I-II-III is therefore 0-0-0, the possible maximum score 21-16-14.
7 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
activities of daily living
Time Frame: 7 days
The effect of fibromyalgia on the daily life of the patients will be questioned with Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ). The FIQ was developed from information gathered from patient reports, functional status instruments, and clinical observations. This instrument measures 10 items (physical functioning, work status (missed days of work and job difficulty), depression, anxiety, morning tiredness, pain, stiffness, fatigue, and well-being) over the past week. The maximum possible score of each subtitle is 10. Thus, the total maximum score is 100, a lower score indicates better quality of life.
7 days
body mass index
Time Frame: 1 day
The participants' weights and heights will be measured and the body mass index will be calculated from the measured values.
1 day
sex
Time Frame: 1 day
It will be registered as male or female.
1 day
age
Time Frame: 1 day
The age of the participant will be recorded.
1 day
level of education
Time Frame: 1 day
The education status will be recorded as not literate, primary school, secondary school, high school or university.
1 day
job
Time Frame: 1 day
The job will be recorded as unemployed, housewife, office worker or heavy duty worker.
1 day
socio-economic situation
Time Frame: 1 day
Socio-economic situation will be recorded as income less than expense, income equal to expense or income lower than expense.
