Özet

Purpose: Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder and its etiology is not well understood. Methods: The relationships among handedness score, Beck depression points and serum S100B levels in fibromyalgia patients were determined and compared between fibromyalgia patients and healthy controls. Results: The rate of left handedness was 10.81%. There were no statistically significant correlations among handedness score, Beck depression point and serum S100B level. Serum S100B levels and depression points were increased in patients with fibromyalgia compared with controls. The high S100B levels in patients with fibromyalgia may have diagnostic and prognostic value in monitoring of fibromyalgia syndromes. Conclusion: These results show that fibromyalgia syndrome is not a cerebral lateralization abnormality.
