This study investigated relationship among moodsstates, depressive symptoms, and physical function in women withfibromyalgia (FM). Twenty-eight women with FM and 17 healthywomen (Control) were evaluated. The Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS),Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Health Assessment Questionnaire(HAQ), and the Visual Analog Scales for pain intensity were applied.Threshold painful sensibility was assessed by algometry. Physicalfunction was evaluated by Field-Based Fitness Tests, and by peaktorque (extension and flexion of the knee joint) through maximalvoluntary isometric contractions. The FM group showed poorerscores in BDI and BRUMS instruments compared to the Controlgroup. Also, the FM group showed reduced physical performance intests assessing lower limb strength (P<0.05). Regarding moodsstates, there were correlations between depressive symptoms andtension (r = 0.41; P<0.05), depressive symptoms and confusion (r =0.60; P<0.05), the 30-sec Chair Stand Test and tension (r = 0.38;P<0.05), and knee extension peak torque and anger (r = 0.45;P<0.05) in the FM group. The findings indicate that women with FMhad poorer mood states, greater severity of depressive symptoms,and reduced physical function, yet depressive symptoms were notassociated with physical function.
