Filter by:Muscle pain is frequently attributed to myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) in which myofascial trigger points (MTrP) are a characteristic feature. Dry needling is a frequent clinical practice to manage MPS but few evidence is published about percutaneous electrolysis effects for the treatment of MPS. This is a randomized clinical trial with 3 parallel groups: 1) High intensity-short time percutaneous electrolysis; 2) Low intensity-long time percutaneous electrolysis; 3) dry needling control group.
The study will explore if Recovery Factors improve symptoms in fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome
Treatment of Fibromyalgia and CFS with Recovery Factors
Fibromyalgia syndrome is the most common cause of chronic generalized musculoskeletal pain and is characterized by pain associated with generalizad sensitivity, fatigue, sleep disturbances and psychological problems. Due to the chronic nature of the pathology and the great dependence on analgesic drugs that it often entails, in these patients it is considered necessary to provide an individualized approach and provide strategies that allow symptoms to be controlled conservatively and non-pharmacologically. The objective of this trial is to analyse the immediate effects on pain, mechanical pain sensitivity, impact of fibromyalgia, pain catastrophizing, psychological distress and physical function when a telerehabilitation program based on aerobic exercise is applied in women with fibromyalgia. For this purpose the investigators conduct a randomized controlled trial single-blind (examiner). The investigators included female patients diagnosed of fibromyalgia according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR). Thirty-four women with fibromyalgia are included and randomized into 2 groups: telerehabilitation program group based on aerobic exercise and control group. Exercise group receive 2 treatment sessions a week over 15 weeks. All the variables are measured at the beginning of intervention and after the intervention.
This study analyze the effectiveness of a Physiotherapy treatment versus a Qigong exercise programme improving quality of life of subjects with Fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia (FM) syndrome is defined by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), as a chronic widespread pain and tenderness in at least eleven of eighteen specific tender points. Despite the increased understanding about FM, there is currently no cure for this syndrome and the treatment aims to provide symptomatic relief and improvement of physical capacities to perform daily tasks and quality of life. Evidence has suggest that photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) can be used as monotherapy or as a supplementary treatment to other therapeutic procedures in patients with FM. However, the lack of consensus regarding therapeutic protocols hinders multicenter comparisons of the many clinical trials published. Further studies are needed to establish ideal parameters of PBMT to be used as a therapeutic tool in the management of fibromyalgia. Therefore, the aim of this project is to investigate the effectiveness of PBMT combined with static magnetic fields (sMF) in pain relief in patients with fibromyalgia.
The aim of this study is to decrease the impact of the fibromyalgia on the daily quality of life of the patients suffering of moderate fibromyalgia at 6 months by the practice of an adapted physical activity coupled with therapeutic education workshop.
The investigators have previously studied the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as a treatment for Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) in a prospective, active control, crossover clinical trial. The results demonstrated significant amelioration of all FMS symptoms, with significant improvement in life quality; furthermore, the investigators were able to demonstrate significant neuroplasticity on SPECT imaging, with a decrease of the hyperactivity in posterior regions and elevation of the reduced activity in frontal areas. In this study, the investigators intend to both repeat and expand the investigator's previous findings, treating FMS patients with history of emotional trauma with HBOT, while performing an extensive of evaluation both before and after treatment. In the current study, the investigators plan to compare HBOT to current standard of care of FMS (pharmacological and non - pharmacological).
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome, often involves high levels of depression, anxiety and cognitive deficits (e.g., "Fibro Fog"). Mindfulness-based Intervention (MBI), is a mind-body intervention, which has been documented in several studies as effective among stress- related diseases, such as crohn's disease. Nevertheless, not much is known about the efficiency of MBI among fibromyalgia patients and about the mechanisms of change through which MBI works. In the present study, the investigators are focusing on different cognitive mechanisms and their role in MBI action. The study is a randomized-controlled trial. 95 Patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia (Mean age=52) were randomly assigned to either a 10-weeks MBI intervention (N=49) or a waitlist-control (WL;N=46). 4 central measurements points were conducted through the study, which included physiological and psychological variables: at the beginning of the intervention (T1), in the middle of the intervention (T2) at the end of the intervention (T3) and one 6 months follow- up measurement after the termination of the intervention (T4). additionally, participant's blood test has been taken at the beginning and at the end of the intervention.
This study evaluates the potential association between Virtual Reality, pain catastrophizing thoughts and pain measures in fibromyalgia.
