Abstract
In this study; values obtained through the analysis of blood samples, taken under laboratory conditions, from patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome and healthy subjects and the sympathetic skin response parameters were used. With the aim of classifying verbal pain scale, which is one of the psychological test scores used for fibromyalgia syndrome diagnosis; relation between the sympathetic skin response effect on other test data and the verbal pain scale were reviewed by using different conditions of available data. Within this framework, three different algorithms were used for classification with high accuracy rates. These algorithms are: Multi-Layer Feed-Forward Neural Networks, Probabilistic Neural Network and Radial Basis Function Neural Network. For Multi-Layer Feed-Forward Neural Networks classification algorithm, classification was done with three different training algorithms, Levenberg-Marquardt back propagation, Resilient back propagation and the Scaled conjugate gradient back propagation and the results were compared elaborately. Based on the results, by using all variables the following accuracy rates were obtained: 68.2% accuracy with Levenberg-Marquardt training algorithm, 77.3% accuracy with the Resilient back propagation training algorithm, and 68.18% accuracy with the Scaled conjugate gradient training algorithm. These success rates show that there is a relationship between verbal pain scale, sympathetic skin response and other test data.
