Filter by:The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of milnacipran at a dosage of 100 mg/day in the treatment of the fibromyalgia syndrome or the pain associate with fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgics frequently report sleep disturbances, in particular poor and unrefreshing sleep. Additionally, studies have reported that sleep problems, pain and mood disturbances are associated in patients with fibromyalgia. By improving the quality of sleep, complaints of poor and unrefreshing sleep, fatigue, pain, which are among the main components of this chronic pain disorder may be improved.
This study is comparing two different exercise programs, Qi Gong (gentle stretching, and breathing) with an aerobics program (boxing and dancing) to see if children with chronic pain or fibromyalgia are able to take part in the program. We would also like to know if it is easy to take part in an exercise program. We hypothesize that children with chronic musculoskeletal pain and FM, who engage in Qigong fitness training, will be more compliant, and have an equivalent or possibly superior improvement on measures of motor function (peak power, endurance, and metabolic efficiency) compared to children given an aerobic fitness exercise program.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the short term and one year follow-up results of connective tissue manipulation and combined ultrasound therapy (ultrasound and high voltage pulsed galvanic stimulation) in terms of pain, complaint of non-restorative sleep and impact on the functional activities in patients with fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a long-term disorder that is characterized by widespread body pain and tender points in joints, muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues. Other symptoms associated with the disorder include fatigue and depression. The cause of FMS is unknown, and conventional treatments are often unsuccessful in adequately relieving pain. For people with severe, unrelenting pain, which is referred to as refractory FMS, opioid maintenance therapy may be an option, but it comes with the dangerous potential of addiction and is therefore avoided if possible. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), in which a nerve located in the neck receives electrical input, may be an option for providing pain relief. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of VNS as a treatment for people with refractory FMS.
To evaluate the safety of pregabalin in patients with fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread pain that can lead to significant patient dysfunction and economic burden to society. The management of patients with fibromyalgia is difficult and no single treatment modality has been successful. We propose to study the effect of dietary soy supplement on quality of life associated with fibromyalgia.
Study objective: - To demonstrate, in patients with myofascial pain syndrome in cervical region, the degree of efficacy of thiocolchicoside ointment administered to trigger point regions compared with the trigger point injection.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether or not the drug Nabilone significantly reduces pain and improves quality of life in patients with fibromyalgia.
The present study is a new approach of examining tailored cognitive-behavioral interventions for fibromyalgia patients at risk. For this purpose, fibromyalgia patients are screened with respect to cognitive-behavioral risk factors and these patients are offered tailored cognitive-behavioral treatment options. It is expected that this approach will result in increased magnitude and maintenance of effects.
