Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention with sessions of 3 minutes of whole body cryotherapy (WBC) in the Cryosense cabin. Measurement period time: 8 weeks.
The purpose of this data registry is to prospectively collect data from patients referred to an Complex Chronic Diseases Program (CCDP) at BC Women's Hospital + Health Centre to assess the quality of life of the CCDP Patients before, during and after their care at the CCDP.
Muscle stretching is a therapeutic technique commonly used by physiotherapists, but for the treatment of fibromyalgia it still has weak evidence to support its real effect. On the other hand, myofascial mobilization in the location of tender points, as it is the solution for the population, demonstrating effects on the improvement of the symptoms, but not yet achieving the minimal clinically important change. In this context, myofascial release guided by physiological chains, so far not studied, is presented as an alternative to improve pain and quality of life in patients with fibromyalgia because it acts in a global way and, probably, more effective. This study evaluates the effect of myofascial release of the trunk physiological chains and muscle stretching on pain, quality of life and functional capacity of patients with fibromyalgia when compared to the control group.
Comparison between high and low frequency percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation as treatment of myofascial chronic neck pain. The main hypothesis is that low frequency treatment will have more hypoalgesic effects than high frequency, and low frequency effects will last longer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of self directed exercise on pain and function reported in patients with Fibromyalgia both in the short term and long term. Previous studies have shown that patients with fibromyalgia respond better to a single session of self directed exercise compared to prescriptive exercise. To the investigator's knowledge, no studies have examined the impact on pain and function after multiple sessions of self directed exercise in this patient population. This study hoes to be a case series exploring the effects of self directed exercise on participants with fibromyalgia. Participants will be encouraged to exercise 8-12 times in a 4 week time frame at a self selected pace and intensity on a stationary bicycle. Outcome measures such as the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, SF-36 and Numeric Pain Rating Scale will be used prior to study participation as well as 4 and 8 weeks following the start of participation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate of body mass index and eating behaviour changes in female patients with fibromyalgia under medical treatment.
NeuroFibro is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, using neurostimulation in women with fibromyalgia.
Up to now, there is no Chinese version of fibromyalgia diagnosis criteria and severity assessment scales. The aim of this study is to translate, adapt, and validate the Chinese version of the 2011 modification of the 2010 ACR preliminary criteria for the diagnosis of fibromyalgia (2011ModCr) and 2016 ACR revisions to the 2010/2011 fibromyalgia diagnostic criteria, as well as the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ-C).
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on 2 types of patients' population suffering from chronic pain syndrome (Fibromyalgia): patients with history of psychological trauma and patients with history of traumatic brain injury.
This trial aims at understanding the mechanisms of optimized transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) (16 tDCS sessions combined with exercise)] on pain control. Optimized tDCS can lead to stronger engagement of the endogenous pain regulatory system that will ultimately lead to increased pain relief in patients with fibromyalgia (FM). Therefore, the investigators designed a 2x2 factorial mechanistic trial [tDCS (active and sham) and aerobic exercise (AE) (active and control)] to evaluate the effects of 4 weeks of tDCS coupled with exercise on the endogenous pain regulatory system assessed by conditioned pain modulation (CPM) and central sensitization as assessed by temporal slow pain summation (TSPS), and compared to either intervention alone and to no intervention.
