Filter by:Many patients with fibromyalgia have little understanding of their condition, leading to maladaptive pain cognitions and coping strategies. Current research has suggested the use of physiotherapy and rehabilitation in addition to cognitive patient education in the treatment of fibromyalgia syndrome. This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of pain neuroscience education in patients with fibromyalgia.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects on pain of transcranial direct current stimulation combined with therapeutic exercise in fibromyalgia patients.
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic disease characterized by chronic pain, fatigue and loss of function that leads to a significant deterioration in the quality of life. Despite controversies about the most appropriate treatment, studies indicate that a multidisciplinary treatment would be effective. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness and cost-utility of a complex intervention in the quality of life (main variable), the functional impact, the mood and the pain of people with FM treated in the Primary Care Teams (PCTs) of the Catalan Institute of Health (CIH).
The purpose of this study is to investigate the induced-pain characteristics after suprathreshold pressure stimulation at different intensities in fibromyalgia subjects, compared with healthy volunteers.
Physical activity has been used for a number of years in the treatment of fibromyalgia (FM). The main objective of this study is to compare the effects of physical activity on two groups of women diagnosed with fibromyalgia (FM) in terms of pain, quality of life and the impact of the condition on their daily lives. Methods: this was a randomized clinical trial to assess the effects of physical activity performed by subjects assigned to one of two groups on the scores of three questionnaires (the pain Visual Analogue Scale, the FIQ questionnaire and the SF-36 health questionnaire) administered before and after the intervention.
This is a randomized clinical trial, aimed to analyse the effects of a potentially anti-inflammatory nutritional intervention in disease assessment parameters, inflammatory markers, and quality of life of Fibromyalgia patients. Patients in the intervention group will adopt an anti-inflammatory diet and a diet with a low ingestion of fermentable oligo-, di- and monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs), for a 3 months period. Group control will adopt a diet based on general recommendations for healthy eating in accordance with the World Health Organization.
Neural therapy is a regulation therapy that tries to correct this underlying autonomic dysfunction. In neural therapy; local painful areas, trigger points and symptomatic segments are included in the injection using local anesthetics and the underlying disruptive areas are investigated and treated. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of neural therapy in fibromyalgia syndrome which is thought to have a neuroendocrine dysregulation disorder.
This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a 6-week core stabilization exercise (CSE) program with and without kinesio taping on pain, fatigue, health status, quality of life, sleep quality and depression in woman with fibromyalgia. Participants were allocated into two groups as CSE and CSE plus kinesio taping group. Pain, fatigue, health status, quality of life, sleep quality and depression were assessed at the baseline and after 6-weeks treatment.
Today, one of the most important challenges of the health system is the attitude towards chronic disorders. That implies changing from a health structure established for the treatment of acute diseases to a continued care system. In this sense, the approach of chronic pain, of non-oncological origin, supposes an important care challenge, to which this project wishes to respond. Chronic pain affects one of every Europeans (19%), and has a prevalence of 11% in Spain, being one of the most important causes of medical consultation and is associated with high personal, social and economic costs. For example, in 2017 it was calculated that it has an economic impact of between 1.7 and 2.1% of Spain's GDP. Referred to the psychological consequences of the disease, it has been found that 42% of people who have chronic pain suffer insomnia, a 40% anxiety, and 24% depressive symptoms. Hence the importance of implementing evidence-based psychological treatments along with their treatment as usual The main objective is comparing the efficacy of mindfulness-based pain management (MBPM), together with the usual medical treatment, in patients diagnosed with chronic pain, with and without comorbid fibromyalgia. Specific objectives are: 1. To study the sociodemographic and clinical profile of patients with chronic pain, with and without fibromyalgia. 2. Define the characteristics of patients who are in the different stages of the disease: stage 1 (less than two years since diagnosis); stage 2 (between 2 and 4 years); stage 3 (between 5 and 8 years), and stage 4 (more than 8 years). 3. Check the effectiveness of psychological therapies MBPM depending on the presence of fibromyalgia. 4. Check the effectiveness of the psychological treatment in function of the stage of the disease. Method: A quasi-experimental design of two groups will be used. Patients will be assigned to experimental group: 50 subjects will receive MBPM and control group 40 subjects, 3-months wait list, after which time they will also receive MBPM. All the participants will be assessed in the baseline; at the end of the treatment; and in the 1, 3, 6 and 12 months follow-ups. Group 2 (waiting list) will be assessed in the baseline, and re-assessed before starting the treatment; at the end of the psychological therapy; and in the 1, 3, 6 and 12 months follow-ups.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of an intervention with dance on balance,movility, pain and sleep in patients with Fibromyalgia in comparison to a control group that will have an educational intervention.
