Resumen
Our aim was to analyse body core temperature and peripheral vascular
microcirculation at skin hypothenar eminence of the hands and its relationship to symptoms
in fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). A total of 80 FMS women and 80 healthy women, matched
on weight, were enrolled in this case–control study. Thermography and infrared thermometer
were used for evaluating the hypothenar regions and core body temperature, respectively. The
main outcome measures were pain pressure thresholds (PPTs) and clinical questionnaires.
Significant associations were observed between overall impact [β = 0.033; 95% confidence
interval (95%CI) = 0.003, 0.062; p = 0.030], daytime dysfunction (β = 0.203; 95%CI = 0.011,
0.395; p = 0.039) and reduced activity (β = 0.045; 95%CI = 0.005, 0.085; p = 0.029) and core
body temperature in FMS women. PPTs including greater trochanter dominant (β = 0.254;
95%CI = 0.003, 0.504; p = 0.047), greater trochanter non-dominant (β = 0.650; 95%CI = 0.141, 1.159;
p = 0.013), as well as sleeping medication (β = −0.242; 95%CI = −0.471, −0.013; p = 0.039) were also
associated with hypothenar eminence temperature. Data highlighted that FMS women showed
correlations among body core temperature and hand temperature with the clinical symptoms.
