A Case of Well-Managed Fibromyalgia with Autonomic Dysfunction during Dental Therapy: Analysis of Heart Rate Variability

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 10

Abstract

This is the first case report of dental therapy performed on a patient with well-managed fibromyalgia (FM). FM is characterized by autonomic dysfunction (AD). Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis is useful for detecting AD. In this study, we assessed the significance of HRV analysis for FM in a dental practice. The patient was a 51-year-old Japanese female. A tooth extraction procedure was safely performed with the diagnosis of an impacted wisdom tooth. Although the dental therapy did not induce AD, it increased the scores of HRV variables related to sympathetic activity. HRV analysis revealed the latent autonomic change and proved valuable for dental management of our FM patient.
