Fibromyalgia Disease Burden in Mothers of Children With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

In this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the impact of having a child diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) on parental disease burden in mothers diagnosed with Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS).

The study will include 50 mothers with FMS who have a child diagnosed with ADHD and 50 mothers with FMS who have children without any psychiatric disorders.

Among mothers of children followed with a diagnosis of ADHD at the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic of Edirne Sultan 1st Murat State Hospital, the presence of widespread body pain will be assessed. Mothers reporting widespread body pain will be referred to the Pain Management Outpatient Clinic of the same hospital for further evaluation for FMS. Mothers diagnosed with FMS will be included in the study group.

The comparison group will consist of mothers with FMS who have children without any psychiatric disorders. These participants will be selected from patients diagnosed with FMS who present to the Pain Management Outpatient Clinic of Edirne Sultan 1st Murat State Hospital.
