Clinical Trial Summary

Fibromyalgia is a chronic illness characterized by persistent widespread muscle pain with generalized hyperalgesia and allodynia. It can be accompanied by other concomitant symptoms like fatigue, sleep disturbances, musculoskeletal disorders, distress and psychological disorders. This condition is very prevalent. It has been reported to be about 2-5% of the general global population. Fibromyalgia is associated with balance problems and increased fall frequency. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of an 8 weeks dance-movement therapy programme on balance, strength, flexibility and quality of life in patients with fibromyalgia.


Clinical Trial Description

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition associated with balance problems and pain. It has been previously described that fibromyalgia may affect peripheral and/or central mechanisms of postural control. Balance or postural stability is a very complex task that involves the integration of multiple sensory inputs to execute appropriate neuromuscular activity needed to maintain balance.

Patients with fibromyalgia have also muscle weakness. Muscle strength depends on both the cross-sectional area of the muscle and the neural activity. Range of movement and quality of life have also been reported to be affected. ;
