Serum Lipid Profile in Patients with Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Öz

Objectives: In this study serum lipid profile of patients myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) were investigated and compared with healthy controls. Materials and Methods: Thirty eight patients (34 female, 4 male) who had MPS with characteristic trigger points, especially on the periscapular, servical and shoulder regions were included in this study. Forty two (38 female, 4 male) age matched healthy subjects were assigned as a control group. All of the subjects were sedentary healthy housewives. Results: No significant difference was observed in terms of sex, age, height, menopausal period, smoking or BMI among the groups. Total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-c) levels were not significantly different between the MPS and control groups. Conclusion: In conclusion we didn't find an association between serum lipid levels and MPS to contrary prior studies. More extensive investigation of lipid and lipoprotein levels is required to determine whether high lipid levels are the cause or result of MPS. ©2006, Fırat Üniversitesi, Tıp Fakültesi

Miyofasiyal Ağrı Sendromlu Hastaların Serum Lipit Düzeyleri

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmada miyofasiyal ağrı sendromu olan (MAS) hastaların serum lipit profilinin incelenmesi ve sağlıklı kontroller ile karşılaştırılması amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada MAS grubuna boyun, sırt ve omuz kaslarında karakteristik tetik noktaları ve referans bir zonda yansıyan ağrısı olan 38 MAS'lu hasta (34 K, 4 E) ve kontrol grubuna ise yaşları eşitlenmiş 42 sağlıklı olgu (38 K, 4 E) alındı. Olguların çoğu sedanter yaşayan ev hanımı bayanlardan oluşmaktaydı. Bulgular: Gruplar arasında cinsiyet, yaş, boy, ağırlık, vücut kitle indeksi, menopozal period ve sigara alışkanlığı açısından anlamlı bir fark yoktu. MAS'lu hastalar kontroller ile karşılaştırıldığında serum total kolesterol, trigliserid, HDL, LDL ve VLDL seviyelerinde anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak önceki çalışmaların aksine MAS'lu hastaların lipit seviyeleri ile kontroller arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı. Enflamatuar bir sürecin olmadığı MAS'nun dislipoproteinemi ile ilişkisini aydınlatmaya yönelik daha fazla çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır. ©2006, Fırat Üniversitesi, Tıp Fakültesi
