Fibromyalgia; Cognition

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Dynamic Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (DLOTCA)

  DLOTCA assesses the basic cognitive skills of individuals aged 18-69 years using 28 subtests across 7 cognitive domains (Awareness, Orientation, Spatial Perception, Visual Perception, Visual-Motor Structuring, Application, and Thinking Processes) (13). Each subtest has 3 scoring stages: First stage: Pre-mediation scoring (1 point indicates the worst performance). Second stage: Mediation score (a high score (4 or 5) indicates poor performance). Third stage: Post-mediation scoring (1 point indicates the worst performance).
