Filter by:The study aims to determine the posture, balance and gait disorders objectively in patients with fibromyalgia (FM) and to investigate their relationships with disease-related parameters.
The study focuses on fibromyalgia, a condition characterized by chronic pain, fatigue, and associated issues like sleep disorders, depression, and anxiety. The investigators' goal is to detect smart phone addiction among fibromyalgia patients and assess potential improvements in their quality of life and smart phone addiction after receiving fibromyalgia education. Participants will report their recent exercise, social activities, sleep quality, and screen time for the past week. They will also complete the Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) to measure pain and physical function and the Smart Phone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV) to assess smart phone use. Diaries will track daily exercise, socialization, sleep, and screen time for 20 days. The intervention group will receive fibromyalgia education, covering an overview of fibromyalgia, coping strategies, and discussions on the impact of digital addictions. This education, delivered via a brief Microsoft PowerPoint program presentation by a physician, aims to help patients. After 20 days, all participants will redo the FIQR and SAS-SV assessments, and diary data will be collected. This study examines how physician-provided fibromyalgia education affects pain levels, quality of life, smart phone addiction, socialization, exercise, sleep, and screen time based on patient diaries. The results will deepen our understanding of how brief education can enhance the lives of fibromyalgia patients and aid in developing more effective strategies to manage pain and improve their quality of life.
Vagus nerve stimulation is thought to reduce sympathetic nerve outflow and so can improve sympathetic hyperactivity in fibromyalgia patients. We aimed in the current study, to evaluate the effect of the cervical transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation in comparison to conventional medical treatment in Egyptian fibromyalgia patients.
The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate the improvement of fibromyalgia syndrome obtained following active stimulation compared to sham, with diminished functional disability and improved health status using Exopulse Molli suit stimulation. The main questions it aims to answer are: Evaluation of pain, fatigue, mood and quality of life changes observed after active stimulation in comparison to sham. Improvement of fibromyalgia syndrome as per the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) Study subjects will participate in: A randomized sham controlled double-blind trial to demonstrate the improvement of pain, quality of life, fatigue and mood in adult patients with fibromyalgia following a 2-week intervention of "active" versus "sham" Exopulse Mollii suit. A 2-week washout period should be enough to prevent a potential carry over effect. After this phase (phase 1), a second open label phase (phase 2) will be proposed for patients to understand the effects of Exopulse Mollii suit employed for 4 weeks (7 sessions per week) on the studied outcomes.
An observational cross-sectional study will be conducted on 90 female students (right dominant) aged 19-26 years at Jazan University, they will have 40 points or more on Smartphone Addiction Proneness Scale (SAPS) and will be divided into three groups (30 students for each): Group I (BMI<25kg/m2), Group II (BMI 25-30kg/m2), and Group III (BMI >30 kg/m2). Pain pressure thresholds were measured using a pressure gauge algometer (PGA) over trigger points in the neck muscles.
This study is intended to test whether a brief Zoom-based behavioral treatment can help adults with fibromyalgia learn effective strategies for reducing pain, disability and other problems that can come with fibromyalgia (such as depression or anxiety).
The aim of study is to examine the chronotype preferences of patients with fibromyalgia syndrome and the relationship between central sensitization and chronotype, and to examine its relationship with pain intensity, disability and quality of life.
Fibromyalgia is conceptualized as non-inflammatory syndrome with manifestation in the musculoskeletal system associated with chronic generalized pain, fatigue, mood and sleep changes. Laying on of hands therapies are intended to prevent injuries, promote health recovery and harmony between the physical, mental and spiritual dimensions. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of laying on of hands with and without a spiritual connection on the mental and physical health, well-being and quality of life of women with fibromyalgia. 72 patients will be divided into 3 groups: control - without imposition of hands, imposition without spiritual presence with the intention of healing and imposition with spiritual presence through the spiritist passe.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of thoracic chiropractic manipulations on pain intensity, depression levels, sleep, and quality of life in women diagnosed with fibromyalgia. The research included 50 female participants aged 25-45 who had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia between 2022 and 2023 at Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Education and Research Hospital. The participants were randomly divided into two groups: a chiropractic treatment group and a control group. Both groups completed pre-treatment assessments using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Short Form 36 (SF-36). The chiropractic treatment group received thoracic chiropractic manipulations (HVLA) twice a week for a total of six sessions over three weeks, while the control group received sham manipulations. A week after the final session, all participants completed the assessments again.
The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of intravenous lidocaine versus intravenous ketamine in treatment of fibromyalgia patients.
