Summary

Purpose: The causes of chronic and widespread pain in fibromyalgia (FMS) have not been eluciated yet. Previous reports determined that posture control changed, muscle strength decreased, body posture misaligned (maladaptive posture), and functional capacity decreased in FMS patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between loss of cervical lordosis, pain, quality of life (QOL) and neck disability in patients with FMS.

Methods: A total of 107 FMS (88 females and 20 males; range of age:18-65) were included to the study. Patients were divided into two groups according to the angle of cervical lordosis measured by the Cobb method, group 1 with a Cobb angle of ≤10°, and group 2 with an angle greater than \>10°. Visual Analog Scale (VAS), QOL (36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36)), and Neck Disability Index (NDI) were used to assess pain, overall quality of life, functional disability respectively.
