![]() ![]() Patients with FM suffered more depression and anxiety than controls. However, no significant relation between SCV and SL and other presumed predictors including VAS for pain severity, pain duration, SS scale, FIQR, and psychiatric comorbidities. Regression analysis showed a significant relation between WPI and both SCV and SL especially in nerves of upper limbs. There were no significant changes in motor nerve conduction between patients and controls. ![]() We found statistically significant increase in Sensory Conduction Velocity (SCV), Sensory Nerve Action Potential (SNAP) amplitude, and decrease in Sensory Latency (SL) in patients with FM compared to controls. Routine motor and sensory nerve conduction studies of both median, ulnar, common peroneal, posterior tibial, and sural nerves were measured for all study participants. Visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain severity, pain duration, Widespread Pain Index (WPI), Symptom Severity (SS) scale, Hamilton depression rating scale, Taylor’s manifest anxiety scale, and Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) were used for measurement of psychiatric comorbidities and quality of life for each patient. Thirty patients with FM and sixteen healthy controls participated in this study. This study aimed to test the changes in the conduction properties of peripheral nerves in patients with primary fibromyalgia (FM).
