Aims: This study aims to evaluate the sleep conditions in fibromyalgia syndrome and the influence of the temporomandibular disorders TMDs and fibromyalgia association in self-reported sleep quality. Three questionnaires were used i. Statistical analyses were performed using the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test to ordinal variables, Student's t-test to obtain the quantitative total scores of PSQI and chronic pain classification, Spearman's rho to determine the correlation between facial pain and quality sleep, and Fisher's exact test for other variables. Conclusion: Fibromyalgia patients experience intense facial pain in addition to poor sleep and high disabilities. TMD and FMS association do not appear to worsen this condition; however, facial pain intensity was correlated with low sleep quality. Keywords: Fibromyalgia,; Sleep initiation and maintenance disorders; Sleep,; Temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome,.

RIS file. Fibromyalgia is a common, often overlooked, clinical syndrome in general practice. It can be associated with considerable disability, but this is likely to be minimised by early diagnosis and intervention. Patients with fibromyalgia often have other chronic conditions.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by widespread pain and reduced pressure pain threshold tender points. People with fibromyalgia may also experience fatigue, sleep disturbances, stiffness, deep tenderness, soreness and achiness, increased headaches or facial pain, difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness and problems multitasking. They frequently report functional impairment and diminished quality of life. The cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, but recent evidence suggests it is associated with abnormalities in the central nervous system processing of pain. People with fibromyalgia develop an increased response to painful stimuli and experience pain from non-painful stimuli such as touch.
