- Original description
Fibromyalgia is a condition that may lead to a decline in respiratory function, as well as impaired oxygen delivery to and utilization by the muscles-factors that contribute to fatigue and reduced exercise capacity. However, this aspect remains insufficiently studied and is not yet clearly understood. In this context, this study aims to compare upper extremity functional exercise capacity, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, muscle oxygenation, pain, and quality of life in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome against those of healthy individuals.Read full original descriptionShow less
Investigation of Respiratory Functions and Functional Capacity in Female Patients With Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a condition that may lead to a decline in respiratory function, as well as impaired oxygen delivery to and utilization by the muscles-factors that contribute to fatigue and reduced exercise capacity. However, this aspect remains insufficiently studied and is not yet clearly understood. In this context, this study aims to compare upper extremity functional exercise capacity, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, muscle oxygenation, pain, and quality of life in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome against those of healthy individuals.

Exclusion: Using medications that result in clinical instability,; Having severe orthopedic, neurological, or cardiac conditions,; Having an additional pulmonary disease,; Having a diagnosed coexisting rheumatic disease,; Not having any known chronic diseases,; Not being willing to participate in the study voluntarily; For the healthy control group:; Being willing to participate in the study voluntarily.
