Abstract

Objective: To assess the impact of tinnitus in fibromyalgia.

Methods: A quantitative controlled study was carried out. The 25-item Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) and the Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) were administered to 27 patients who fulfilled the revised diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia of the American College of Rheumatology and to 26 healthy controls who had no history of suffering from fibromyalgia or any other rheumatological or neurological illness.

Results: The two groups were matched for age, sex and ethnicity. The fibromyalgia patients were significantly more likely to suffer from tinnitus than the controls: 16 (59.3%) of the patients suffered from tinnitus, compared with two (7.7%) of the controls (p < 0.001). The median (interquartile range) total THI score for the fibromyalgia group was 6 (44), which was significantly higher than that of 0 (0) for the control group (p < 0.001). The fibromyalgia group scored significantly higher than the control group for 24 of the 25 THI items. The total THI score across all subjects was positively correlated with the FIQR scores (rs = 0.408, p = 0.002).

Conclusion: Fibromyalgia is associated with a relatively high prevalence of tinnitus.

纤维肌痛引起的耳鸣。

目的:探讨耳鸣对纤维肌痛的影响。方法:采用定量对照研究。采用25项耳鸣障碍量表(THI)和修订后的纤维肌痛影响问卷(FIQR)对27名符合美国风湿病学会修订后的纤维肌痛诊断标准的患者和26名没有纤维肌痛或任何其他风湿病或神经疾病病史的健康对照进行研究。结果:两组在年龄、性别和种族上相匹配。纤维肌痛患者出现耳鸣的可能性明显高于对照组:16例(59.3%)患者出现耳鸣，对照组2例(7.7%)患者出现耳鸣(p < 0.001)。纤维肌痛组THI总分中位数(四分位间距)为6(44)，显著高于对照组的0 (0)(p < 0.001)。纤维肌痛组在25个THI项目中的24个得分明显高于对照组。所有受试者的THI总分与FIQR评分呈正相关(rs = 0.408, p = 0.002)。结论:纤维肌痛与耳鸣患病率较高有关。
