Abstract

Aim: Recent studies have suggested that disruptions in the gut microbiota could potentially contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic pain and fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) by affecting the gut microbiota-brain axis. The increasing prevalence of fibromyalgia syndrome has prompted investigations into the impact of probiotic food consumption, which regulates the microbiota, on quality of life.
Material and Methods: The study included 99 patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome who presented to our Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic. A questionnaire was administered to assess the patients' knowledge and consumption of probiotic foods, and the Short Form-12 Health Survey(SF-12) was used to gather data and assess health-related quality of life.
Results: Of the 99 patients who completed the questionnaire, 89 were female and 10 were male. In response to the question, "Do you know what probiotics are?"7.4% of primary school graduates,64.7% of high school graduates, and 78.6% of university graduates answered affirmatively. When asked, "Have you experienced any benefits from probiotic foods?" 21.2% responded positively, and among those who experienced benefits, the most common accompanying issue (37.04%) was Irritable Bowel Syndrome(IBS). Fibromyalgia syndrome patients who consumed yogurt as a probiotic had higher physical function subdomain scores on the SF-12 Health Survey.
Conclusion: The high level of education in FMS patients increased the awareness of probiotics. Probiotic consumption may have a improving effect on irritable bowel syndrome and constipation associated with FMS.Training on probiotics and increasing the frequency of use of probiotics, the quality of life of FMS patients can be increased and accompanying symptoms can be reduced.

Abstract

Amaç: Bağısak mikrobiyotası düzensizlikler son zamanlarda yapılan çalışmalarda beyin bağırsak aksını bozarak kronik ağrı ve fibromiyalji sendromunun(FMS) nedeni olabileceği belirtilmiştir. Görülme sıklığı artan fibromiyalji sendromunda mikrobiyotayı düzenleyen probiyotik besin tüketiminin yaşam kalitesine etkisi araştırılmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya hastanemiz Fiziksel Tıp ve Rehabilitasyon polikliniğine başvuran fibromiyalji sendromu tanısı konulmuş 99 hasta alındı. Çalışmada fibromiyalji hastalarına probiyotik besinler hakkında bilgi düzeyleri ve tüketim durumlarının belirlenmesi anketi, Kısa Form-12 Sağlık (SF-12) Ölçeği uygulandı ve veri olarak kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Anketi dolduran 99 fibromiyalji sendromu tanısı konulan hastaların 89’u kadın, 10’u erkek hastadan oluşmaktaydı. “Probiyotik nedir biliyor musunuz?” sorusuna ilkokul mezunları %7,4, lise mezunları %64,7, üniversite mezunları %78,6 oranında evet yanıtını verdi. “Probiyotik besinlerden fayda gördünüz mü?” sorusuna %21,2 evet cevabı verildi ve fayda görenlere en sık eşlik eden problem (%37,04) İrritabl Bağırsak Sendromu (İBS) idi. Probiyotik olarak yoğurt tüketen fibromiyalji sendromu olan hastaların SF-12 Sağlık Ölçeğinin fiziksel fonksiyon alt birim puanları daha yüksek saptandı.
Sonuç: Fibromiyalji sendromlu tanılı hastalarda eğitim seviyesinin yüksekliği probiyotik bilinirliğini arttırır. Fibromiyalji sendromuna eşlik eden irritabl bağırsak sendromu ve kabızlıkta probiyotik tüketimi iyileştirici etki gösterebilir. Bağırsak mikrobiyotasını düzenleyen probiyotikler hakkında eğitimler verilip, probiyotiklerin kullanım sıklığını arttırılarak fibromiyalji sendromu olan hastaların yaşam kalitesi artabilir, eşlik eden semptomlar azalabilir.
