“…Gilheaney et al (2018) also found that QoL was affected by chronic pain at the masticatory level and swallowing. To date, although there are few studies conducted on persons with FMS, similar findings have been obtained in those with other chronic conditions (Baylow et al, 2022; Printza et al, 2020; Youssof et al, 2017). For example, in persons with multiple sclerosis, dysphagia was associated with a decrease in QoL (Printza et al, 2020).…”

Background Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is an idiopathic chronic disease characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, hyperalgesia, and allodynia that has been recently associated with risk of dysphagia. Objective We aimed to analyze the association between nutritional status, micro- and macronutrient intake and quality of life (QoL) in a cohort of women with FMS and risk of dysphagia compared to women with FMS without risk of dysphagia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in 46 women with FMS. Risk of dysphagia was assessed by the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT) and the Volume–Viscosity Test (V–VST). The Food Frequency Questionnaire and the Swallowing Quality of Life Questionnaire were used to assess dietary intake and QoL, respectively. Results Thirty women with FMS were at risk for dysphagia (65.21%) assessed by the EAT–10. Based on the V–VST, the frequency of risk of dysphagia was 63.04%. Significant differences in body mass index (BMI) were found between women at risk for dysphagia and those without risk. Women at risk for dysphagia had significantly lower overall QoL scores than those women without risk. No significant differences were found for dietary intake and dysphagia risk. Discussion Women with FMS at risk for dysphagia have significantly lower BMI values and worse QoL than women without dysphagia risk, supporting the importance of assessing dysphagia in clinical practice in persons with FMS.

Objective: This study aims to analyze the frequency of dysphagia risk and swallowing-associated quality of life (QoL) in a sample of women with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and examine the potential relationship between risk of dysphagia and chronic orofacial pain (COP) in a sample of women with FMS. Method: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in 46 women with FMS. COP was assessed by mouth opening, the orofacial visual analog scale (VAS), and the craniofacial pain and disability inventory (CF-PDI). Risk of dysphagia was assessed using the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) and the volume–viscosity swallowing test (V-VST). Swallowing-associated QoL was determined using the Swallowing Quality of Life (SWAL-QOL) questionnaire. Results: Thirty patients were identified as being at risk for dysphagia (65.21%) using the EAT-10 and, according to the SWAL-QOL, 41.30% of patients had alterations in QoL associated with swallowing. The EAT-10 correlated positively with orofacial VAS, CF-PDI-total, CF-PDI-pain and disability, and CF-PDI-jaw-functional status. In relation to SWAL-QOL, negative correlations were observed for orofacial VAS, CF-PDI-total, CF-PDI-pain and disability, and CF-PDI-jaw-functional status. Patients at risk of dysphagia (EAT-10 and V-VST) had significantly higher scores in orofacial VAS ( p = .002 and p = .015), CF-PDI-total ( p = .006 and p = .014), and CF-PDI-pain and disability ( p = .004 and p = .013). Conclusions: In this sample of women with FMS, we identified a high rate of dysphagia risk. Also, a high percentage of these women presented alterations in QoL associated with swallowing. Patients at risk for dysphagia had significantly higher orofacial VAS and CF-PDI-total scores, supporting the relationship between dysphagia risk and COP in FMS. Further research to establish the need for appropriate assessment referrals in clinical practice to determine whether dysphagia is present in this population is needed.
