Balbaloglu O, et al. - This was the first study assessing the relationship of paresthesia and personality traits in fibromyalgia. The frequency of paresthesia in fibromyalgia patients and its relation with personality traits were examined in this analysis. According to the presence or absence of paresthesia, female patients with fibromyalgia were divided into two groups. Moreover, a healthy control group was involved. The findings from the present study suggested that psychological distress correlated with high harm avoidance and low self-directedness scores were more prominent in fibromyalgia subjects, and particularly of those who had paresthesia.
