“…It has been reported that many chronic painful conditions and rheumatic diseases are related to poor sleep quality. 18,19 We also found higher frequency of poor sleep quality in acne patients than in healthy controls. Menstrual cycle is related to the presence of sleep disturbances and many women experience a worsening of acne during the premenstrual cycle.…”

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the frequency of fibromyalgia syndrome and to specify fibromyalgia syndrome-associated clinical symptoms in patients with acne vulgaris. Patients and methods: Eighty-eight patients (28 males, 60 females; mean age 23.2±5.1 years; range 18 to 40 years) with acne vulgaris and age, sexand body mass index-similar 76 healthy controls (14 males, 62 females; mean age 24.5±2.9 years; range 18 to 35 years) were included. Acne vulgaris was evaluated by using the Global Acne Scale, while Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to evaluate anxiety. Results: Fibromyalgia-associated pain, sleep disturbance, anxiety, and menstrual cycle disturbance were significantly more frequent in patients with acne vulgaris than controls. Also, the severity of anxiety and the number of tender points were significantly higher in the acne vulgaris patients than controls. Conclusion: This study indicates that patients with acne vulgaris have increased frequency of fibromyalgia syndrome than healthy controls (21.6% versus 5.3%, respectively).

“…Studies with healthy participants have demonstrated that poor sleep quality and experimentally-induced sleep restriction are associated with higher pain ratings and hyperalgesia in response to an evoked pain sensitivity paradigm (5, 21). Further, there is some evidence suggesting that the stress response system or HPA axis functioning may mediate the relationship between sleep quality and evoked pain (21). …”

Familial Contributions to Self-Reported Sleep and Pain in Female Twins

et al. 2015

Objective The relationship between sleep quality and pain has been studied in populations with chronic pain and non-clinical populations in experimental paradigms. Little is known about the familial contributions to this relationship. This study examines self-reported sleep quality and pain in a non-clinical sample and to explore familial (i.e., shared genetic and common family environment) confounding in those relationships. Design Cross-sectional. Subjects 99 community-based female twin pairs (N = 198) with a mean age of 29 years; 72% monozygotic. Methods The short form McGill Pain Questionnaire (McGill), a visual analog scale (VAS), a body map, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) measured self-reported pain and sleep quality. Mixed model regression adjusted for age was used to examine relationships between the pain indices and PSQI in overall and within-pair models. Results Higher PSQI total scores were significantly associated with higher scores across the sensory (B = 0.37, p < 0.001), affective (B = 0.16, p < 0.001), total scores (B = 0.54, p < 0.001) on the McGill and the VAS (B = 2.41, p < 0.001), and number of sites with any pain on the body map (B = 0.42, p = 0.001). All of these associations were diminished and rendered non-significant in within-pair analyses that accounted for genetic and familial factors (all p’s α 0.01; Bonferroni α = 0.01). Conclusions These findings support an association between poor sleep quality and pain and suggest that this relationship may be confounded by shared genetic and environmental factors, which could elucidate biological mechanisms that underlie the development and maintenance of pain and sleep problems.

“…There are few studies in the literature evaluating sleep quality in patients with SSc. 18,19 Sariyildiz et al, 19 evaluated sleep quality using the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) in patients with SSc and found significantly higher scores for sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep disturbance, and total PSQI scores in the control group.…”

Polysomnography findings and risk factors for sleep-disordered breathing in patients with systemic sclerosis

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate polysomnography findings and risk factors for sleep-disordered breathing in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Patients and methods: Thirty-nine patients (2 males, 37 females; mean age: 51.1±12.5 years; range, 21 to 76 years) who attended to the Rheumatology Clinic of Trakya University Medical Faculty between March 2014 and May 2014 were included in the study. Thoracic computed tomography, pulmonary function tests, carbon monoxide diffusion tests, echocardiography, and all-night polysomnography in a sleep laboratory were performed in all patients. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients were recorded. The Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) scores were calculated. Disease activity was examined using the Medsger Disease Severity Scale (MDSS). Possible risk factors for sleep-disordered breathing were evaluated. Results: Using the AHI of ≥5 for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), 21 (53.8%) of the patients were classified as having OSA. There were no significant differences between the groups with and without OSA in terms of steroid use (p=0.4), CT involvement (p=0.3), and Warrick (p=0.6) and MDSS scores (p=0.5). Age, body mass index (BMI), and mean oxygen desaturation index were found to be significant in the univariate analysis (p<0.1); however, the multivariate analysis revealed only BMI as significant risk factor of OSA (p=0.028). In the multivariate analysis, the mean saturation was found to be significant risk factor for high pulmonary artery pressure (p<0.001). Conclusion:Although OSA is common in SSc, only increased BMI is a significant risk factor of OSA, but not lung involvement, Warrick scores, or MDSS scores.
