Abstract

In the present work we find a study on the relationship between the SMR / Theta ratio, the simulation of symptoms and the quality of life in patients with fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia disease is a syndrome associated with multiple symptoms ranging from sleep problems, fatigue or chronic fatigue and alterations in cognition. The study was conducted with a sample of 40 patients with fibromyalgia under the criteria of the American Rheumatology Association. The instruments used were, the Structured Inventory of Simulation of symptoms and SF-36 Health Survey. The results show that there is a relationship between quality of life and the SMR / Theta ratio but not with the simulation of symptoms, so we can conclude that people with the lowest SMR / theta ratio have a worse score in the quality test of life.
