Purpose: The causes of chronic and widespread pain in fibromyalgia (FMS) have not been eluciated yet. Previous reports determined that posture control changed, muscle strength decreased, body posture misaligned (maladaptive posture), and functional capacity decreased in FMS patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between loss of cervical lordosis, pain, quality of life (QOL) and neck disability in patients with FMS.
Methods: A total of 107 FMS (88 females and 20 males; range of age:18-65) were included to the study. Patients were divided into two groups according to the angle of cervical lordosis measured by the Cobb method, group 1 with a Cobb angle of ≤10°, and group 2 with an angle greater than >10°. Visual Analog Scale (VAS), QOL (36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36)), and Neck Disability Index (NDI) were used to assess pain, overall quality of life, functional disability respectively.

| Quality of Life Scale-Short Form (SF-36) | This scale assesses many aspects of health and consists of 36 questions with 8 subtitles. The assessment is performed considering the last 4 weeks of the patient and the scale is assessed between 0 point and 100 points in which score 100 shows good health state, the score 0 shows poor health state | day 1. |

| Neck disability index (NDI) | This form has a total of 10 items, which includes pain severity, personal care, lifting, reading, headache, concentration, work status, driving, sleep and recreation. Scoring for each question ranges from 0 to 5 (0: the best health state and 5: the worst health state). High scores in patients mean serious disability. Total point were scored between 0 (no disability) and 100 (complete disability) | day 1 |
