Twelve children with fibromyalgia and complaints of chronic dizziness were evaluated with both clinical office maneuvers of vestibular function and laboratory tests composed of electronystagmography and sinusoidal harmonic acceleration rotary chair testing. All test results were normal for spontaneous nystagmus with or without visual fixation, oculocephalic reflex, dynamic visual acuity, head-shaking nystagmus, Quix test, and Dix-Hallpike maneuver. Electronystagmography test results were essentially normal for saccades, gaze, Dix-Hallpike, pendular tracking, and caloric evaluation. Rotary chair testing was normal in all 12 patients. These findings suggest that central (brainstem) and peripheral vestibular (inner ear) mechanisms do not account for the complaints of dizziness in the pediatric patient with fibromyalgia. The common musculoskeletal abnormalities of fibromyalgia may affect their proprioceptive orientation, therefore giving them a sense of imbalance.
对12名患有纤维肌痛且主诉慢性头晕的儿童进行了评估,采用了前庭功能的临床门诊检查方法以及包括眼震电图和正弦谐波加速度转椅测试在内的实验室检查。所有测试结果对于有或无视觉注视的自发性眼震、眼头反射、动态视力、摇头眼震、奎克斯试验和迪克 - 霍尔派克手法均为正常。眼震电图测试结果在扫视、凝视、迪克 - 霍尔派克、摆动跟踪和冷热试验评估方面基本正常。12名患者的转椅测试均正常。这些发现表明,中枢(脑干)和外周前庭(内耳)机制并不能解释患有纤维肌痛的儿科患者的头晕主诉。纤维肌痛常见的肌肉骨骼异常可能会影响他们的本体感觉定向,从而使他们产生不平衡感。
