View clinical trials related to Fibromyalgia.
Filter by:INTRODUCTION: Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition of generalised pain that entails significant limitations in daily and social life due to pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances and mood alterations. Rehabilitation programmes try to alleviate the symptoms and seek intervention methodologies that contribute to improving the quality of life and reduce the socio-economic cost. Innovation, technology and new neurophysiologically based therapeutic interventions are being integrated into rehabilitation clinics and although there are foundations and research into the potential benefits that can be obtained, research is still needed to determine intervention protocols that are more effective and efficient. The company XXX has state-of-the-art technology and equipment in order to be able to offer high quality and professional services in Extremadura and is motivated to participate in scientific, innovation and development projects in order to analyse and take advantage of the great potential of the equipment and thus offer it to society. OBJECTIVE: this project aims to compare the influence of the use of immersive virtual reality combined with Exopulse neuromodulation suits on patients with fibromyalgia. METHODOLOGY: a clinical trial is proposed with probabilistic random assignment in three groups, a control group (G1) in which patients will wear the suit on, but it will not emit any type of current. A suit group (G2), in which only the neuromodulation suit will be used, and an experimental group (G3) in which, in addition to the neuromodulation suit, virtual reality glasses will be used in full immersive mode. The variables to be analysed are: pain, postural stability, muscle activity, muscle oxygenation, thermographic distribution, heart rate variability, stress, anxiety. The acute effects will be analysed after one intervention session (pre-post intervention of one session) and the effects after a programme of 8 sessions. RESOURCES: The intervention equipment will be provided by the company and the assessment equipment by the research group.
Chronic pain, fatigue and insomnia are classical symptoms of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, affecting seriously life quality. Non-pharmacological multicomponent approach is gaining relevance in Fibromyalgia treatment. However, nutrition and chronobiology are often not approached in-depth despite their potential. Furthermore, programs addressed to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are still scare. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a compact multidisciplinary group intervention based on nutrition, chronobiology and physical exercise in the improvement of lifestyle and life quality in Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue syndrome.
Fibromyalgia is a syndrome (set of symptoms) of unknown etiology and characterized by diffuse musculoskeletal pain and chronic fatigue. In addition, other symptoms such as cognitive alterations, sleep rhythm disturbances, psychiatric syndromes such as anxiety, depression, etc. Other very characteristic symptoms are hyperalgesia (very low pain threshold) and allodynia (amplified response to painful stimuli). The treatment of fibromyalgia is symptomatic and the drugs only serve to reduce symptoms in some patients, in addition to the fact that these available treatments (antidepressants, pain signal modulators, rescue analgesics, etc.) have many side effects. The food supplement which is the object of this study, FibrofixPlus®, is made up of a combination of natural substances. This is the reason why this observational study aims to improve symptoms caused by fibromyalgia in patients treated with FibrofixPlus®.
Our study was conducted to investigate the effect of scapular stabilization exercise training on cervical posture and pain in fibromyalgia. 59 patients aged 18-60 years were included in the study. The patients included in the study were diagnosed with fibromyalgia from the physical therapy outpatient clinic and individuals who did not have any other disease were included. The included individuals were divided into 2 groups by randomization method. Individuals were divided into scapula exercise therapy group (n=29) and classical exercise therapy group (n=30). Hotpack, tens and ultrasound applications were applied to both groups as conventional treatment before exercise. This protocol was applied to both groups for 6 weeks, 5 days a week. Following this protocol, classical shoulder exercises were given to the classical group and stabilization exercises were given to the scapular stabilization group. While the study designer applied the treatment, another designer applied the evaluation. The patients were evaluated for pain, cervical posture, functional status, and quality of life. pain was evaluated with a visual analog scale (vas), cervical posture was evaluated by tragus-wall distance, functional status was evaluated with fibromyalgia impact questionnaire and quality of life was evaluated with nottingam quality of life questionnaire. All evaluations were performed twice before and at the end of the treatment (6 weeks).
This study aims to reveal whether there is an impairment in the sympathetic regulation of muscle spindle sensitivity in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS).
Fibromyalgia (FM) is the prototype of a group of diseases known as central sensitivity syndromes, whose relationship with pain sensitization is well defined. Central sensitization (CS) is also one of the mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain, which is a common complaint in FM patients, is likely to be one of the clinical manifestations of central sensitization. Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between CS and neuropathic pain.
The Aim of This Study is to Compare the Effects of Instrument-assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) Used in Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) and to Determine Whether They Are Superior to Conservative Treatment (CT). 42 Female Patients Diagnosed With MPS Were Included in the Study. The Patients Were Randomly Divided Into Three Groups of 14 People Each. CT (Hot Pack, TENS, Ultrasound) Was Applied to the First Group. CT+IASTM Was Applied to the Second Group and CT+ESWT Was Applied to the Third Group. All Groups Received Treatment for 3 Weeks (CT: 5 Sessions Per Week, 15 Sessions in Total, ESWT and IASTM: 2 Sessions Per Week, 6 Sessions in Total). Neck Stretching Exercises Were Given to All Patients as a Home Program. Before and After the Treatment, the Pain Intensity of the Patients Was Determined by Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Pressure Pain Threshold Was Measured With an Algometer. Cervical Joint Range of Motion (CROM) Was Measured With a CROM Device. Pain, Cervical Mobility, Quality of Life, and Sleep Parameters Were Evaluated With the Neck Outcome Score Questionnaire (NOOS). Depression and Anxiety Parameters Were Evaluated With the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).
Relaxation techniques are a non-pharmacological therapy option applied to alleviate the symptoms of many different chronic diseases. It has been reported in the literature that PMR is effective on pain, fatigue and stress symptoms in fibromyalgia patients. No study has been found examining the effect of PMR on kinesiophobia and functional status in FM. This study was planned to examine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation exercises on pain, kinesiophobia and functional status in fibromyalgia patients.
The purpose of the stud will be to compare the effect of pressure release with thoracic spine manipulation on pain intensity level and pain pressure threshold, thoracic spine ROM and physical function onactive rhomboids muscle trigger point in myofascial pain syndrome.
The goal of fibromyalgia Treatment is to relieve the pain and improve quality of life and physical function which need a Final Version: April 2019Research Template 3 multifaceted treatment approach involving non pharmacological pain management and medicine Lyftgot perineural injection therapy "lyftgot PIT" previously known as neural prolotherapy , is a method of injection treatment designed and developed by DR Lyftgot from new Zealand to treat the neurogenic inflammation and the neuropathic pain caused by the sensocrine small nerve fiber .PIT is based on the injection of small amount of dextrose 5%in a neutral PH sterile water solution in the subcutaneous tissue around the sick nerve to correct the neuroglycopenia and to inhibit the neurogenic inflammation.
