Although its mechanism remains relatively unknown, accelerated neurodegeneration in the brain has been reported in patients with FM. Sleep disturbance can increase the risk of neurocognitive disorders, which are associated with tau and beta-amyloid (A\u03b2) protein accumulation. We hypothesize neurodegeneration in patients with FM may be associated with sleep disturbance.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1092852920002114_sec2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this case-control study, we analyzed serum tau and A\u03b2 levels and their association with symptom profiles for patients with FM, by recruiting 22 patients with FM and 22 age-matched healthy participants. The visual analog scale, Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, pressure pain threshold test, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Beck Depression Inventory-II, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and serum tau and beta-amyloid-42 (A\u03b2-42) levels were recorded. The Mann\u2013Whitney test was conducted to compare questionnaire and protein level results between the groups. Pearson correlation test was conducted to investigate the correlation of questionnaire scores with tau and A\u03b2-42 levels in patients with FM. The significance level was set at <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.05.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1092852920002114_sec3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Serum tau and A\u03b2-42 levels were significantly higher in patients with FM than in controls.
