Megadott ok: The recruitment and examination of participants were halted prematurely due to depleted funds.
Rövid összefoglaló (regiszter, angolul)
This prospective, cross-sectional, observational study will include subjects with fibromyalgia (FM), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and asymptomatic controls. Participants will undergo a research ultrasound (US) exam of the enthesis of the Achilles' tendon, the medial collateral ligament at the femoral epicondyle and the common extensor tendon at lateral epicondyle of the elbow in resting conditions. The research US exam will consist of shear wave elastography (SWE) and radiofrequency (RF) data acquisitions. SWE technology will allow quantification of the shear wave speed (SWS) reporting the elastic stiffness of the tissues under investigation. RF data will be used to estimate quantitative ultrasound (QUS) parameters characterizing the mean intensity μ (akin to B-mode echogenicity), acoustic inhomogeneity (1/alpha), and structural spatial organization of echoes (κ) in the tissue.

Kiket keres a vizsgálat
- Subjects with fibromyalgia:
- The diagnosis of fibromyalgia is based on the 2011 ACR criteria and confirmed by a pain medicine physician working at a tertiary care academic center (CHUM) having experience with patients with fibromyalgia and other chronic pain syndromes.
- Fibromyalgia is the primary reason for the patient's symptoms, without any other comorbid condition that could fully account for the symptoms of pain.
- No skin condition (psoriasis, eczema and others) requiring regular topical treatment.
- Subjects with psoriatic arthritis:
- Presenting with psoriatic arthritis
- The diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis will be based on the ClASsification for Psoriatic Arthritis (CASPAR) criteria and established by a rheumatologist working at a tertiary care academic center (CHUM).
- No comorbid fibromyalgia as determined by the rheumatologist.
- Asymptomatic subjects:
- No history of chronic pain syndromes, malformations, injuries, infections or tumors limiting activities of daily living and work.
- Not engaged in professional sports.
- No skin condition (psoriasis, eczema and others) requiring regular topical treatment.
