FREQUENCY OF FIBROMYALGIA IN PATIENTS WITH CELIAC DISEASE

October 12, 2022 updated by: Okan Küçükakkas, Bezmialem Vakif University

EVALUATION OF THE FREQUENCY OF FIBROMYALGIA IN PATIENTS WITH CELIAC DISEASE

950 / 5.000 Çeviri sonuçları Celiac disease is an autoimmune proximal small bowel disease that develops as a persistent intolerance to gluten-like gluten in cereals, mainly wheat gluten and other cereal proteins such as barley, rye, and oats in genetically susceptible individuals. Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic musculoskeletal disease characterized by chronic widespread body pain, fatigue, morning stiffness, subjective swelling, sleep disturbance, intestinal problems, multiple somatic and cognitive problems, especially in the back, neck, shoulders and hips. In terms of intestinal symptoms, very similar findings can be observed between celiac disease and fibromyalgia. For this reason, the presence of celiac disease in FMS patients has been investigated in many studies and its frequency has been found to be high. However, the frequency of FMS in patients with celiac disease is not clear, and an overlooked diagnosis of fibromyalgia may leave many symptoms untreated.

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Statistical analysis of the demographic data of 60 patients diagnosed with celiac according to the ESPGHAN diagnostic criteria will be performed, and the frequency of comorbid diseases will be measured. The correlation between celiac disease and fibromyalgia will be determined and possible relationships between the two diseases will be investigated. The relationship between the presence and severity of fibromyalgia and celiac disease clinical types and modified marsh classification will be examined.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients who agreed to participate in the study, signed the informed consent form, had the cognitive capacity to fill in the questionnaires and scales, and were followed up with a diagnosis of celiac will be included.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients whose celiac diagnosis is uncertain, who do not agree to participate in the study, and who do not have sufficient cognitive capacity will be excluded from the study.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Celiac Patients Group
Patients previously diagnosed with celiac disease by the gastroenterology clinic.
PLI is obtained by questioning the pain in 28 regions in the last 7 days. Total score is between 0-28
The SIQR score includes a total of 10 different evaluations in the last 7 days, including pain, energy, stiffness, sleep, depression, memory problems, anxiety, sensitivity to touch, balance problems, sensitivity to loud sounds-bright light-smells-cold. Each item is scored between 0-10 and the total score is obtained between 0-100. This total score is divided by 2 to get the SIQR score
FIQ measures 10 different features, including physical function, well-being, absenteeism, difficulty at work, pain, fatigue, morning fatigue, stiffness, anxiety and depression. With the exception of the well-being trait, low scores indicate recovery or less affliction. The maximum possible score of each sub-title is 10. Thus, the total maximum score is 100.
