Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the effect a morning light treatment has on improving physical function, pain intensity, and pain sensitivity in people with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS).
Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is a chronic musculoskeletal disorder accompanied by diffuse body pain, increased fatigue and tenderness in specific anatomical regions, and sleep disturbance. The higher prevalence of FMS in women and the observation of it from young adulthood suggest the effect of sex hormones on the pathophysiology of this condition. Steroid hormones, especially estrogen, have effects on both the peripheral and central nervous system receptors (estrogen receptor-a [ERa] and estrogen receptor-b [ERb]), on the inflammatory process, and on central pain delivery. However, the mechanism of action of these hormonal effects is still unknown and is a matter of debate. The fact that fibromyalgia syndrome and migraine are more common in women of reproductive age and their incidence is higher than other populations suggests that these two diseases may have a common genetic basis. Previous studies have shown that ESR-1 594G> A (rs2228480), ESR-1 325C> G (rs2295190) polymorphisms significantly increase the risk of migraine occurrence. However, there are no studies investigating these polymorphisms in FMS. In this study, it was aimed to investigate whether there is a relationship between ESR-1 594G> A (rs2228480) and ESR-1 325C> G (rs2295190) polymorphisms and fibromyalgia disease.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of low-intensity and prolonged vibrotactile sensory stimulation on brain activity and functional connectivity in fibromyalgia patients.
The purpose of the study is a scientific and prospective documentation of the clinical effects of an inpatient treatment at the Immanuel Hospital of Berlin, in the department for complementary and integrative medicine, with the use of a modified fasting regime. A pre- and post- as well as group comparisons are planned. Patients that are admitted to the inpatient department for metabolic syndrome, osteoarthritis of the hip or knee, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia will be enrolled in the study.
The study was performed in participants suffering from fibromyalgia and investigated efficacy after treatment with several doses of GRT9906 versus placebo. Furthermore, it was to be found out if treatment with GRT9906 was safe and well-tolerated.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a 3-month program consisted of the use of whole body vibration (WBV) in patients with fibromyalgia in order to determine whether this intervention would be effective to short and medium-term improvement of symptoms in these patients.
Kinesiophobia which is described as fear of movement reduces physical activity levels and increases the risk of chronic pain. We consider that kinesiophobia levels were higher in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome and chronic neck pain so that physical activity levels were lower in this patients groups. Because there are not enough studies, we aimed to evaluate kinesiophobia and physical activity levels in this patients.
The purpose of this study is to identify the acute effects of isometric exercise on the inhibition of pain in individuals with fibromyalgia.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence different types of exercise, pain mechanisms, and biopsychosocial contributions on how people with and without fibromyalgia report pain. Exercise will be performed with the arm at a submaximal intensity. Participants will undergo a variety of pain assessments, including clinical questionnaires and pain perception. This study will improve our understanding of how people with and without fibromyalgia respond to different resistance exercise types and whether physical activity and body composition has an influence on the response.
The purpose of this study is to see if heat therapy intervention via hot water immersion (i.e., a hot tub) is an effective treatment for patients with Fibromyalgia.
