All participants experienced the February 2023 earthquakes in Turkey. Disease activity and quality of life were assessed using the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) at 1 and 6\u00a0months post-earthquake. The Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) was employed to measure psychological trauma levels. Statistical analyses included paired <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>-tests and Pearson\u2019s correlation coefficients.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>FIQ scores significantly improved from 1\u00a0month (74.97 \u00b1\u200920.15) to 6\u00a0months (67.25 \u00b1\u200916.39) post-earthquake (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt; 0.001).
