Obstrüktif uyku apne sendromu ve fibromiyalji sendromu birlikteliği Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome with fibromyalgia syndrome

Aim. We aimed to study coexistence of FMS in OSAS patients since there are common symptoms such as non-relaxing sleep, over need for sleep during the day, morning headaches in both diseases. Methods. 100 consecutive OSAS patients contributed to the study. These patients are evaluated by physical rehabilitation specialist with application of polysomnography (PSG). International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD-2) criteria used for OSAS diagnosis and American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria published in 1990 and some criteria which are used today used for diagnosis for FMS. Results. OSAS determined in 74 patients of 100. While in 20 of 74 patients (27%) with OSAS FMS determined, in 4 of 26 patients with no OSAS (15.4%) FMS determined and there was no statistical difference in regards to FMS incidence between groups. In OSAS group, when groups separated according to FMS existence and absence and when coexistence of symptoms such as witnessed apnea, excessive day time sleepiness (GAUH), and 3 major symptoms only witnessed apnea and GAUH was statistically high, in only OSAS nonFMS group (p<0.05). There was no statistical significance when both group compared for apnea)
