Abstract:

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of obesity on the quality of sleep and functional condition in patients with myophasial pain syndrome. It is also planned to evaluate the correlation of sleep quality and functional condition with the body mass index in both groups. Method and method: 60 patients with myopathic neck pain were divided into two groups (Obez and control). Both groups recorded the patient’s age, gender, disease time, body mass index, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Short Form-36 scores.  The findings: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (13.2±2.9 & 7.2±3.3) and Short Form-36 values were found worse than the control group in obesity. However, the body mass index values in both groups were not correlated with the Short Form-36 and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index values. Result: This study found that sleep quality and daily life activities in patients with myophasial pain syndrome were more affected in the obesity group.
