Résumé : | Objective The aim of this cross-sectional study was to compare cervical extensor muscle thickness measurements in patients with fibromyalgia (FM) with chronic neck pain and an asymptomatic control group, and to examine the relationship between cervical extensor muscle thickness and pain, quality of life, and disability. Methods The study included 41 patients with FM and 41 asymptomatic control subjects. The thickness of the cervical extensor muscles (multifidus, semispinalis capitis, semispinalis cervicis, splenius capitis and trapezius muscles) was evaluated with ultrasonography. The severity of FM was evaluated with the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), neck disability with the Neck Disability Index (NDI) and pain severity with a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Results The mean sonographic thickness values of all the neck extensor muscles were significantly decreased in the FM group compared with the control group (p?0.001). There were negative correlations between the FIQ and multifidus, splenius capitis and trapezius thickness values. NDI was significantly negatively correlated with multifidus and trapezius thickness. There was no significant correlation between neck extensor muscle thickness and age, duration of FM, and NRS scores. Conclusion This study demonstrated a decrease in cervical extensor muscle thickness in patients with FM with chronic neck pain. Cervical extensor muscle morphologies should be considered by the clinician when planning treatment in patients with FM with neck pain. |
