“…Tander et al (2008) study showed that physical role, social function and pain in fibromyalgia group were worse(13), but in our study parameters between 2 groups hadn't any statistically significant different. It seems that physical findings in rheumatoid arthritis could be explaining bad function in these patients (21). Comparison of fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis groups showed that all subgroups of quality of life in fibromyalgia were worse.…”

Background and aim: Musculoskeletal disorders are the most common diseases all over the world. They cause pain, functional impairment, work disability, and affect individuals' quality of life (QOL). Disorders such as fibromyalgia syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis constitute a large portion of these conditions. They are very common, especially in middle-aged and older women. Various studies have reported a significant decreased of QOL in these patients comparing with the normal population. This study aims at evaluation the QOL in women with these disorders in comparing with well-matched normal controls.Methods & Materials: In this case-control setting, 400 women aged 35-55 years were enrolled during a 12-month period in Clinics of Rheumatology affiliated to Tabriz University of medical Sciences. They categorized in four equal (100-case) groups: patients with fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, knee osteoarthritis and healthy controls. The groups were matched for age, body mass index, education and occupation. The Persian version of SF-36 questionnaire was employed to assess the QOL. Different dimensions of QOL were compared between the groups. Results: Physical Functioning, Pain, mental Health, Vitality and physical Health were significantly better in the controls than all three patient groups. Emotional Role, vitality and mental Health in comparing the fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis groups, were significantly worse in the rheumatoid arthritis group. Comparing the fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis groups, all dimensions and groups of QOL were worse in fibromyalgia group. Comparing the rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis groups, Physical functioning, pain and physical health were significantly worse in rheumatoid arthritis group. The intra-group comparison showed that the physical health was worse than the mental health in controls. This was opposite in the rheumatoid arthritis group, with no significant difference in the fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis groups. Conclusion: This study showed that the QOL is negatively influenced by the musculoskeletal disorders. This condition is worse in fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis than the osteoarthritis.

“…Independente da forma como é classificada, a depressão é freqüentemente abordada em trabalhos que estudam a dor crônica. Em nosso meio, podemos citar o estudo realizado por Martinez e colaboradores, que encontraram percentual significativo de depressão (80,0%) em 47 mulheres com fibromialgia 9 . Em nosso estudo, restringimo -nos a detectar a presença de sinais ou sintomas depressivos, evitando, portanto, firmar diagnóstico de depressão entre os pacientes entrevistados.…”

RESUMO -Introdução:A cefaléia do tipo tensional (CTT), dor cefálica mais comum, tem mecanismos fisiopatológicos, epidemiologia e apresentação clínica pouco estudados. Depressão e ansiedade são comorbidades especialmente enfocadas entre seus portadores. Objetivo: Estudar a ocorrência de sintomas depressivos e ansiedade entre portadores de CTT episódica (CTTE) e crônica (CTTC). Metodologia: Cinqüenta pacientes com CTTE e cinqüenta com CTTC preencheram os inventários de depressão e de ansiedade de Beck. Somente foram considerados aqueles com escores moderado ou grave. Resultados: Entre portadores de CTTE, ansiedade e sintomas depressivos foram encontrados em 60 e 32 % dos pacientes, respectivamente. Em pacientes com CTTC, ansiedade foi detectada em 44 % e sintomas depressivos foram observados em 40 % da amostra. Conclusão: ambas as comorbidades são importantes em pacientes com CTT. Negligenciá-las significa risco de falência no tratamento, contribuindo para queda na qualidade de vida .PALAVRAS-CHAVE: cefaléia do tipo tensional episódica, cefaléia do tipo tensional crônica, depressão, ansiedade. Depressive symptoms and anxiety in patients with chronic and episodic tension-type headacheABSTRACT -Background: Tension-type headache (TTH) is recognized as the most prevalent type of headache. Despite this, there is a limited understanding of the entity's physiology, epidemiology, and clinical presentation. Anxiety and depression are recognized comorbidities present among patients with TTH. Objective: To quantify the prevalence of anxiety and depression among patients with episodic and chronic TTH. Method: fifty patients with episodic TTH and fifty patients with chronic TTH completed Beck's anxiety and depression surveys. Only patients presenting with moderate to severe scores were considered. Results: among the patients with episodic TTH, anxiety and depression were observed in 30 (60%) and 16 (32%) patients respectively. Among the patients with chronic TTH, anxiety was observed in 22 (44%) patients, and depression was observed in 20 (40%). Conclusion: both comorbidities are important among patients with episodic and chronic TTH. Neglecting this association may result in failure of symptomatic and prophylactic treatment ultimately leading to lost quality of life.

“…Como se verá más adelante, aunque varios estudios sugieren que las personas con fibromialgia podrían compartir algunas características de la personalidad, las diferencias con los grupos control podrían deberse principalmente a la gravedad de la sintomatología depresiva (42). Asimismo, varios estudios que observan características específicas de personalidad en la fibromialgia aplican instrumentos de evaluación no estandarizados (43), no incluyen grupos de comparación (44), o no controlan la confusión debida a la presencia de sintomatología psicopatológica (45)(46)(47)(48).…”
