“…PSG studies of FMS patients reported poorer sleep quality as well as higher number of awakenings, higher arousal index, greater AHI and lower N1 sleep in FMS patients compared to HC. Sleep disturbance also exacerbates symptom severity in FMS [ 42 , 43 ]. One included study separated patients with ME/CFS alone or comorbid ME/CFS and FMS.…”

Systematic Review of Sleep Characteristics in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

(1) Background—Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a multifaceted illness characterized by profound and persistent fatigue unrelieved by rest along with a range of other debilitating symptoms. Experiences of unrefreshing and disturbed sleep are frequently described by ME/CFS patients. This is the first systematic review assessing sleep characteristics in ME/CFS. The aim of this review is to determine whether there are clinical characteristics of sleep in ME/CFS patients compared to healthy controls using objective measures such as polysomnography and multiple sleep latency testing. (2) Methods—the following databases—Pubmed, Embase, Medline (EBSCO host) and Web of Science, were systematically searched for journal articles published between January 1994 to 19 February 2021. Articles that referred to polysomnography or multiple sleep latency testing and ME/CFS patients were selected, and further refined through use of specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Quality and bias were measured using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist. (3) Results—twenty observational studies were included in this review. The studies investigated objective measures of sleep quality in ME/CFS. Subjective measures including perceived sleep quality and other quality of life factors were also described. (4) Conclusions—Many of the parameters measured including slow- wave sleep, apnea- hypopnea index, spectral activity and multiple sleep latency testing were inconsistent across the studies. The available research on sleep quality in ME/CFS was also limited by recruitment decisions, confounding factors, small sample sizes and non-replicated findings. Future well-designed studies are required to understand sleep quality in ME/CFS patients.

“…As sleep disorders are common among patients with FM (Wolfe et al, 2010), who have alterations in the "architecture" of sleep (Çetin et al, 2020;Choy, 2015), and considering the relationship between sleep and other symptoms (Andrade et al, 2019(Andrade et al, , 2020a, it is necessary to investigate treatment strategies and systematize the knowledge on the subject based on the available literature. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the effect of RT on the sleep quality of patients with FM, through a systematic review.…”

This study investigated the effects of resistance training (RT) on the sleep quality of patients with fibromyalgia (FM), through a systematic review. The search was carried out in the PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Initially, 148 studies were found, of which six were included for qualitative analysis. Four studies showed significant improvement in sleep after RT. Compared to other exercise modalities, RT proved to be superior to flexibility training and equivalent to aerobic exercise. Interventions lasted from 4 to 21 weeks, the weekly frequency ranged from two to three times, and the intensity ranged from 40% to 80% 1RM, with exercises for the major muscle groups. RT is an intervention that can be used to treat FM, however, more studies are needed to verify its effectiveness in improving sleep.

“…In addition, PSG examinations revealed less N1 sleep, higher AHI, higher arousal index, more arousal, and more awakening in patients with FMS than in healthy controls. 20 According to the literature review by the authors on the relationship between OSAS and FMS, there are many studies investigating the frequency of OSAS in patients with FMS or investigating the effect of FMS in patients with OSAS, as the examples given above. However, the literature is quite insufficient to reveal whether OSAS increases the frequency of FMS.…”

ABS TRACT Objective: Sleep disturbance plays an important role in the etiopathogenesis of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). This study aimed to compare the frequency of FMS between those with and without obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). In addition, it was aimed to examine the relationship between polysomnography parameters and FMS. Materials and Methods: Twenty participants with OSAS (OSAS group) and 20 participants without OSAS (control group) were included in the study. All participants were evaluated for FMS diagnosis using the American College of Rheumatology FMS criteria. The chronic widespread pain levels of all participants were evaluated by the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), their depression levels were evaluated by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and their anxiety levels were evaluated by the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Results: The number of patients diagnosed with FMS, chronic widespread pain NRS levels, BAI scores, and chronic pain durations of the patients in the OSAS group were found to be significantly higher than in the control group. BDI scores of both groups were similar. Among the patients in the OSAS group, no significant difference was detected in terms of polysomnography parameters between patients with FMS and patients without FMS. Conclusion: In this study, the frequency of FMS in patients with OSAS was higher than in those without OSAS. This association should be kept in mind when evaluating patients with FMS and OSAS. In addition, in this study, it was determined that the presence of FMS did not affect the polysomnography parameters of patients with OSAS.
