Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change from Baseline Pain Intensity at 1 and 3 months | Patients will be asked to mark their pain on the visual analog scale (VAS) during each visits. | Baseline, one week after the last treatment session (1st month) and 3rd month | |
Secondary | Change from Baseline Tenderness (tender point pain threshold score) at 1 and 3 months | Pressure pain threshold of 18 points specified in 1990 American Collage of Rheumatology (ACR) Fibromyalgia classification criteria will be evaluated with The Lafayette Manual Muscle Tester Model 01165 (Lafayette Instrument Company, Lafayette IN, USA). This device is a dynamometer. It has been shown that if circumference is used instead of area as the correction coefficient hand dynamometers with wider tips than standard algometers are also valid and reliable in the pressure pain threshold measurement. The Lafayette Hand-Held Dynamometer uses a tip with a circumference of 5.65 cm. The applied force (kg) / 5.65 will be used as the pressure pain threshold unit in the study. The arithmetic mean of the data obtained from 18 points will be recorded as the tender point pain threshold score. | Baseline, one week after the last treatment session (1st month) and 3rd month | |
Secondary | Change from Baseline Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) at 1 and 3 months | FIQR consists of 3 domains. The first domain contains 9 questions that can be scored between 0 and 10 and the score of the physical function is found by dividing the total score by three. Second domain contains 2 questions and the overall impact score is the sum of the scores from these two questions. Third domain consists of 10 questions and symptom score is obtained by dividing the total score by two. Total FIQR score is the sum of 3 domain points. | Baseline, one week after the last treatment session (1st month) and 3rd month | |
Secondary | Change from Baseline Pain Extent at 1 and 3 months | The extent of the pain will be evaluated by widespread pain index (WPI). The WPI quantifies the extent of bodily pain on a 0-19 scale by asking patients if they have had pain or tenderness in 19 different body regions (shoulder girdle, hip, jaw, upper arm, upper leg, lower arm, and lower leg on each side of the body, as well as upper back, lower back, chest, neck, and abdomen) over the past week, with each painful or tender region scoring 1 point. | Baseline, one week after the last treatment session (1st month) and 3rd month | |
Secondary | Change from Baseline Fibromyalgia Severity Score (FSS) at 1 and 3 months | FSS is the sum of the WPI and symptom severity scale (SSS) scores. SSS consists of two domains. For the first domain, the complaints of fatigue, waking unrefreshed and cognitive symptoms are scored between 0 (no problem) and 3 (life-disturbing problems ). For the second domain, headaches, pain or cramps in lower abdomen, and depression are scored between 0 (absent) and 1 (present). The total score gives the SSS score. |
