Design and Evaluation of an Intelligent Monitoring and Alarm System Based on a Noninvasive Fluid Level Sensor for Patients with Fibromyalgia

摘要

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic disorder that causes pain and dryness in the muscles, tendons and joints and is also associated with sleep disorders, chronic fatigue, morning fatigue, anxiety, depression and gastrointestinal disorders. One of the most prominent symptoms of fibromyalgia is urinary tract infection (UTI). Patients with fibromyalgia complain of self-urination, a common symptom in fibromyalgia, especially in women. Urinary incontinence has both physical and psychological consequences, including skin damage, urinary tract infections and an increased risk of falls. Various methods and treats likes self-urination include medications, medical instruments, interventional treatments, surgery, absorbent ?layers and catheters, implants? have been developed and designed for fibromyalgia syndrome ?and urinary diseases which each method had unique and specific features but each technique had significant disadvantages that can be problematic for the patient. In this article, we decided to propose a new method based on anatomical and physiological ?investigations related to the bladder after this study in patients with fibromyalgia and treatment ?modalities so far. In this investigation, a method will be present that it is a very smart non-invasive method which allows the patient to be aware of his or her urine volume level before reaching the bladder. The purpose method of this study is to design an intelligent device for the treatment and resolution of self-urinary dysfunction, especially in patients with fibromyalgia.
