Filter by:In this study, it was aimed to examine the effects of aerobic exercise and balance-proprioception exercises on pain, functionality and strength parameters of fibromyalgia patients and to compare the two exercise types.
Fibromyalgia is a cause of chronic pain, classified by the Internal Classification of Diseases (ICD) as a primary chronic pain with specific diagnostic criteria established by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR). No treatment to its complete cure is available at this time, all treatments having as purpose pain relief and an improvement of quality of life by combining pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments. One of the mechanisms proposed in fibromyalgia is the central sensitisation phenomenon, by which the central nervous system becomes "hypersensitive" to nociceptive or non-nociceptive stimuli. The receptor involved in this phenomenon is the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor to which ketamine binds. Ketamine has therefore been proposed as a co-treatment in chronic pain with central sensitization phenomena, such as fibromyalgia.
This study aims to understand the efficacy of two probiotic interventions as prophylaxes of fibromyalgia symptoms in individuals diagnosed. The primary outcome measure will be the progression and treatment of fibromyalgia, defined as a decrease in the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) score, other otucomes will be the effect on the symptoms of anxiety and depression associated with fibromyalgia, defined as a decrease in the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) score; perception of pain by scoring on a Visual Analogical Pain Scale (VAS), and differences in the patient's usual medical treatment. Finally adverse effects will be evaluated. The study will have two arms: one arm including a probiotic preparation and a placebo arm.
Objective: To demonstrate the most effective exercise intervention for women with fibromyalgia syndrome on the pain, quality of life, depression, and body composition through a comparative study of three types of exercise intervention: supervised aerobic plus stretching, supervised resistance plus stretching, and home-based stretching.
On 12 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, which was reported to the WHO on 31 December 2019. There is evidence of a high prevalence of psychiatric comorbidities in Fibromyalgia (FM )(especially depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder), which are associated with a worse clinical profile. In these challenging times of COVID-19, anxiety increased among the general population. Fibromyalgia patients are more at risk of developing anxiety in these difficult times. This might result in more frequent visits to the rheumatology clinics with an exacerbation of their chronic pain syndrome.
patients suffering from fibromyalgia syndrome according to the criteria of the American College of Rheumatology 2010 will be enrolled. All fibromyalgic patients will be subjected to a further ambulatory visit and if an energy deficiency in the Liver and Spleen Meridians will be identified, according to the Traditional Chinese Medicine rules, acupuncture will be planned. If not, a standard therapy with analgesic drugs will be started. Acupuncture treatment will consist of six weekly sessions. Tricyclic antidepressants, anti-epileptic drugs, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and opioids will be used as standard strategy. Pain Scores and Fatigue Impact Scale will be assessed before any treatment and after a 28 days follow-up.
Dialysis-related myofascial pain in hemodialysis (HD) patients is an important issue that is associated with many other psychosomatic problems. Effective interventions are required to alleviate pain problems in this group. Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) has been tried as a potential therapeutic method to improve pain. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a CHM formula intervention on pain intensity, daily function, and quality of life, and safety among HD patients in dialysis center within a southern Taiwan context.
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic musculoskeletal pain disorder with unknown causes. Our previous studies showed abnormal sensations of second pain (wind-up), indicating central hypersensitivity as an important mechanism of FM. Triggering events have been implicated as the cause of central hypersensitivity.
Systemic sclerosis [SSc]; is a multisystem disease characterized by immune activation, microvascular disease and fibroblast dysfunction, which is thought to occur as a result of complex and not fully understood interaction between genetic and environmental factors, leading to fibrotic changes in the skin and some internal organs. It is characterized by the deposition of collagen and other matrix components in the skin and some internal organs. It has been shown by evaluating the health assessment questionnaire that it causes disability with increasing frequency over time. Although pain cannot be localized too well to be attributed to a particular anatomical area, there are several musculoskeletal pain syndromes that can be detected in patients with systemic sclerosis. These are tendonitis, polyarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis and fibromyalgia. While there are several studies on others, the relationship between fibromyalgia syndrome and SSc is not known clearly. As with other connective tissue diseases, fibromyalgia is not considered to be rare in SSc.
Myofascial pain syndrome is a common chronic disease characterized by pain and tenderness in one or more muscle groups. It is characterized by myofascial trigger points that are felt as a band or a nodule harder than normal consistency located in the muscle. Myofascial trigger points are developes as a result of muscle injury ; this can be acute trauma caused by sport injury, accident, or chronic muscle overuse by repetitive occupational activities, emotional stress or poor posture. Trigger point injection is the application of low dose local anesthetic drug into the trigger point.Its main purpose is to weaken the trigger point caused by muscle spasm.However, it may reduce pain partially or have a short duration of action, so it may need to be repeated several times at regular intervals.Trigger point injection can reach trigger points in superficial muscles With the erector spina plane block technique, more effective and long-term pain treatment can be achieved by reaching deeper trigger points. With this hypothesis, we aimed to investigate the contribution of the erector spina plane block to trigger point injection in the treatment of myofascial pain.
