- Original description
In fibromyalgia, the increased central sensitization symptom burden can lead to a disruption in the individual's interoception and difficulties in managing symptoms. Additionally, impaired internal perception can also affect conditions such as pain severity, fatigue, sleep quality, and accompanying depression and anxiety in fibromyalgia patients. With this study, the relationship between central sensitization and interoceptive sensitivity in fibromyalgia will be examined, and the relationship of interoceptive sensitivity with issues such as sleep quality, pain severity, fatigue, anxiety, and depression in fibromyalgia patients will also be investigated.Read full original descriptionShow less
Association Between Interoceptive Sensitivity and Central Sensitization Symptom Burden in Women With Fibromyalgia: A Cross-Sectional Study
In fibromyalgia, the increased central sensitization symptom burden can lead to a disruption in the individual's interoception and difficulties in managing symptoms. Additionally, impaired internal perception can also affect conditions such as pain severity, fatigue, sleep quality, and accompanying depression and anxiety in fibromyalgia patients. With this study, the relationship between central sensitization and interoceptive sensitivity in fibromyalgia will be examined, and the relationship of interoceptive sensitivity with issues such as sleep quality, pain severity, fatigue, anxiety, and depression in fibromyalgia patients will also be investigated.
