Filter by:Background: Dry needling trigger point treatment, while painful, has been demonstrated as a useful tool in fibromyalgia patients for decreasing pain and central sensitization. However, the current biopsychosocial pain paradigm indicates that fibromyalgia subjects with high levels of catastrophizing have negative thoughts related with perceived partner responses to pain, which results in an emotional and physical stress after a painful episode. Objective: To assess whether catastrophizing could influence the perception of pain during and after dry needling application. Study design: A singled-blind randomized controlled trial. Setting: Department of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universitat Jaume I Methods: Female fibromyalgia patients and number and age-matched female controls will be recruited and randomly assigned to either a real or a simulated dry needling group. The Spanish version of the pain catastrophizing scale will be used to assess the catastrophizing level of each participant before initiating any of the planned interventions. The perceived pain during and immediately after the dry needling procedure will be measured using the pain visual analogue scale, [VAS].
This study aims to compare the effects of an eight-week exercise and patient-centred education programme with eight-week exercise alone programme on disability, pain intensity, health-related quality of life and patient global impression of change. A prospective, parallel, double-blinded and multi-centre randomised controlled trial will be carried out.
This study investigated the effects of reformer pilates exercises in Fibromyalgia, which is a chronic musculoskeletal disease characterized by widespread pain in the body, on number of painful regions, disease activity, lower extremity muscle strength, functional mobility, balance, kinesophobia, fatigue, sleep quality, biopsychosocial status and quality of life and compared effects of clinical pilates-based home pilates which is performed on a mat.
Veterans who have responded well to Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA), a form of auricular acupuncture, in routine clinical practice will be invited to receive education to insert the needles themselves at home. A 3D-printed wearable prosthetic will also be explored as a means to facilitate needle placement. Primary end-points will include whether adverse events occur over a six-month period and whether the aforementioned prosthesis significantly facilitates needle placement in terms of subjective ease of administration.
Introduction: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a syndrome characterized by generalized musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, non-repairing sleep, cognitive changes, depressive symptoms and other correlates of autonomic dysfunction. A high prevalence of overweight in patients with fibromyalgia is observed, about 80% according to current data, which affects the course and prognosis of the disease, besides overburdening health costs and further compromising quality of life. life of these patients. Evidence shows possible pathophysiological pathways shared by these two pathologies, as well as aspects related to food behavior. It is known that dopaminergic neurotransmission is altered in both, suggesting an increase in the sensitivity or density of D2 dopamine receptors. Non-pharmacological options for pain management and dysfunctional eating behavior include the important contribution of neuromodulatory techniques of non-invasive cerebral stimulation, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), which aims to increase resisting hyperpalatable foods and reducing caloric intake. Objectives: To evaluate the association between dopamine receptor-2 (DRD2) Taq1A allele A1 polymorphism (rs1800497) and to observe the possible effect of tDCS on the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on homeostatic and hedonistic aspects of eating behavior in women with FM. Methods: A randomized, double blind, parallel group, controlled trial with simulated treatment will be performed. Will be included in the study women literate, right-handed, with confirmed diagnosis of FM. The evaluation will be done through questionnaires on pain and eating behavior, anthropometric evaluation and biochemical measurements. The intervention will take place through active or simulated home for 4 weeks. Perspectives: To evaluate dysfunctional neuroplastic changes in eating behavior and biological markers and also to serve as a basis for future effective treatment strategies through neuromodulation and nutritional counseling.
A multitude of stretching parameters are used in the clinical setting. However, there is no convincing evidence to suggest which parameters are most effective in the management of chronic myofascial pain syndrome .In this regard, although the stretching duration is considered one of the most important variables that can affect the treatment outcome, to date there is little agreement on the most effective stretching duration.Accordingly ,we will conduct this study to investigate the effect of different stretching duration on nerve root function ,central conduction time, and chronic myofascial pain management outcomes.
The main objective of this study is to analyse the efficacy of the NAT-FM multicomponent treatment program as coadjuvant of treatment-as-usual (TAU) compared to TAU alone. In this Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), in addition to evaluating the clinical effects of NAT-FM treatment in the short- and long-term, the research team will seek to identify relevant moderators and mediators of clinical change.
A topical anesthetic gel lidocaine has been widely used as a local anesthetic to reduce the pain and discomfort. It provides local analgesia by blocking the initiation and transmission of impulses. Lidocaine topical anesthetic gel allows the use of high concentrations of the anesthetic bases without concern about local irritation, uneven absorption or systemic toxicity (Argoff, 2000 ). So, the aim of this study is to compare between the effect of lidocaine phonophoresis and pulsed ultrasound in myofascial pain syndrome in swimmers children.
Fibromyalgia (FM)and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) are complex diseases often presenting overlapping symptomatology. Manual therapy (MT) protocols report benefits for pain treatment of FM, but the underlying mechanisms for patient improvement remain unknown. The main goal of this study is to assess the molecular changes associating to mechanical and additional MT triggers, possibly involved in patient symptom improvement.
This is a Phase 3, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 14-week study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TNX-102 SL 5.6 mg (2 x 2.8 mg tablets) taken daily at bedtime for the treatment of fibromyalgia.
