We investigated the relationship of fibromyalgia (FM) tender points to other manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Sixty-seven RA patients completed questionnaires at study entry and described symptoms, emotionally significant events, and mood every evening for 75 days. Joint and tender point examinations were conducted every 2 weeks.
Controlling for joint tenderness, the tender point count correlated with the degree of daily stress. Depression was not significantly related when daily stress was controlled for.
We conclude that FM tender point counts correlate uniquely with RA patients' reports of daily stress.
我们研究了纤维肌痛(FM)压痛点与类风湿关节炎(RA)其他表现之间的关系。
67例RA患者在研究开始时完成问卷调查,并在75天内每天晚上描述症状、情感上有重大意义的事件和情绪。每2周进行一次关节和压痛点检查。
在控制关节压痛的情况下,压痛点计数与每日压力程度相关。在控制每日压力后,抑郁与压痛点计数无显著相关性。
我们得出结论,FM压痛点计数与RA患者的每日压力报告有独特的相关性。
