Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Study Design


Intervention

Other:
Pain neuroscience education
A total of 4 NPE (Neuroscience paine education) sessions were held, once each week in addition medical treatment similar to control group. The NPE sessions were conducted by an experienced physiotherapist certified in NPE in face-to-face, group sessions lasting 40-45 minutes. In NPE, the patient is taught about the physiology of pain, central sensitization, representation of the different body regions in the brain, pain-related changes in body perception, and the psychosocial dimensions of pain.
Drug:
Medical treatment
The patients in control group continued taking their regular gabapentin and pregabalin-derivative drug therapy at the same dosage and duration specified by their physicians.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) The FIQ is an assessment and evaluation instrument developed to measure fibromyalgia (FM) patient status, progress and outcomes Change from Baseline FIQ at 4th weeks
Primary Pressure pain thresholds (PPT) Pressure pain thresholds in following five points, 7th cervical vertebra, 3th lumbal vertebra, 5th lumbal vertebra, the belly of calf muscles, and 2nd distal interfalangeal joint were measured using a analog pressure algometer(Baseline, USA). Change from Baseline PPT at 4th weeks
Primary Tinel's Sign The Tinel sign is the result of a simple, noninvasive test that checks for nerve problems. The test is positive when a tingling or prickling sensation is felt in the distribution of the Tibial nerve. Change from Baseline PPT at 4th weeks
Secondary Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) was used for the assessment of kinesiophobia. The TSK is a 17-item questionnaire developed to measure the fear of movement/re-injury. Change from Baseline PPT at 4th weeks
