The Relationship Between Diaphragm Muscle Thickness and Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia study form, consisting of clinical measurement, Fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (FIQ), Beck Anxiety Questionnaire and Beck Depression Questionnaire, Short-Form (SF)-36, who applied to the outpatient clinic with fibromyalgia will be filled in detail.

"Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are noninvasive tests that show how well the lungs are working. The tests measure lung volume, capacity, rates of flow, and gas exchange. This information can help your healthcare provider diagnose and decide the treatment of certain lung disorders.~The investigators will use handheld spirometry device for measurement. Three measurements will be made. In these three measurements; FEV1(Forced Expiratory Volume In One Second)(L), FEV1 (%predicted), FVC (Forced Vital Capacity) (L), FVC (%predicted), FEV1/FVC (%) and FEV1/FVC (%predicted) will be evaluated. The arithmetic average of the results of these three measurements will be taken."

Diaphragm thickness (millimeter-mm) will be measured in the supine position with a 6-14 Mhz lineer, conventional ultrasound probe (Mindray DC-8, Shenzen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics CO. LTD.,P.R. China) at the end of inspiration and expiration from the intercostal space on the anterior axillary line. The measurements will be evaluated by making three measurements from the right 8-9. intercostal space where the diaphragm is best visualized. End-expiratory (Forced residual capacity-FRC) (millimeter-mm), end-inspiratory (Total Lung Capacity) (millimeter-mm) and thickening rate (%) (thickness TLC / thickness FRC) will be evaluated three times and the arithmetic average of these three measurements will be taken.
