- Abstract
This study investigated relationship among moods states, depressive symptoms, and physical function in women with fibromyalgia (FM). Twenty-eight women with FM and 17 healthy women (Control) were evaluated. The Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), and the Visual Analog Scales for pain intensity were applied. Threshold painful sensibility was assessed by algometry. Physical function was evaluated by Field-Based Fitness Tests, and by peak torque (extension and flexion of the knee joint) through maximal voluntary isometric contractions. The FM group showed poorer scores in BDI and BRUMS instruments compared to the Control group. Also, the FM group showed reduced physical performance in tests assessing lower limb strength (P<0.05). Regarding moods states, there were correlations between depressive symptoms and tension (r = 0.41; P<0.05), depressive symptoms and confusion (r = 0.60; P<0.05), the 30-sec Chair Stand Test and tension (r = 0.38; P<0.05), and knee extension peak torque and anger (r = 0.45; P<0.05) in the FM group. The findings indicate that women with FM had poorer mood states, greater severity of depressive symptoms, and reduced physical function, yet depressive symptoms were not associated with physical function.
