About this study

Fatigue is a common symptom in fibromyalgia patients and it is known that these patients have decreased muscle strength compared to healthy volunteers. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the minimum force to be applied during carrying is different in fibromyalgia patients compared to healthy volunteers.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

-Female patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia between the ages of 18-70

Exclusion criteria

  • Those whose treatment has been changed in the last month
  • Those with shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand diseases that may cause pain in the dominant upper extremity
  • Those with carpal or cubital tunnel syndrome
  • Those with a history of orthopedic surgery in the dominant extremity
  • Those with uncontrolled metabolic disease
  • Those with B12 deficiency

Treatment and study plan

isokinetic muscle strength measurement

Other

Wrist isokinetic eccentric flexor and extensor peak Torque and fatigue will be measured at the angular velocity of 180°/s

Minimum pinch force measurement

Other

the minimum fingertip pinch force required to hold a constant weight will be measured

Primary outcomes

  1. minimum pinch force

    Time frame: November 2024- January 2025

    minimum fingertip pinch force required to hold a constant weight

  2. maximum pinch force

    Time frame: November 2024- January 2025

    maximum fingertip pinch force required to hold a constant weight

  3. % Minimum/maksimum pinch force

    Time frame: November 2024- January 2025

    percentage of minimum holding force to maximum holding force

Secondary outcomes

  1. isokinetik muscle strength

    Time frame: November 2024- January 2025

    Wrist isokinetic extensor and flexor peak torque at 180 degrees/sec
