What this Trial Is About
Researchers are investigating whether having a child diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects the disease burden in mothers who have Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS). The study will compare two groups: mothers with FMS who have children diagnosed with ADHD and mothers with FMS whose children do not have any psychiatric disorders. This observational study aims to assess differences in pain severity, quality of life, and central sensitization levels between these groups. Participants will be divided into two groups based on their children's diagnosis. The study will collect demographic data such as age, education, occupation, socioeconomic status, marital status, and number of children. Pain intensity will be measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Quality of life and functional status will be assessed with the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), and central sensitization will be measured using the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI). These assessments will provide baseline data for comparison. During the study, participants will provide information about their symptoms and complete questionnaires to evaluate their pain, quality of life, and central sensitization. Researchers will record symptom duration and calculate body mass index (BMI). The main outcomes measured at the start of the study include pain severity, quality of life, functional status, and central sensitization levels. The study is conducted by Sultan 1. Murat State Hospital and aims to better understand the impact of having a child with ADHD on mothers with FMS.
