Aim of this study: We aimed to show the differences in cognitive complaints and their relations with clinical variables between the subjects with fibromyalgia, age-matched healthy controls and older-aged group with Short Test of Mental Status. By means of covering a broad range of cognitive functions of STMS, mild cognitive impairment in patients with FMS and older-aged women could be demonstrated easily and we could obtain the similar results in other studies using objective neurophsychologic methods without using these tests that was the striking aspect of our study. Considering the difficulty of the objective tests in clinical setting, and since it is important to characterize easily the nature of the dysfunction in clinical setting in order cope with this chronic disorder, our results might be useful in helping patients with FM and older-aged women.
