Filter by:the aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of low frequency rTMS over the right dorsolateral prefrontal area (DLPFC) on Fibromyalgia patients. Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), Hamilton depression and Anxiety scale and different cognitive rating scales were evaluated pre-1 month post sessions and pre -post 3 months later. all eligible patients with fibromyalgia (FM) were randomized to have 20 sessions of active or sham rTMS over right DLPFC. The improvement changes in groups were compared in each rating scale.
To study the effects of a nutritional intervention with an olive (poly)phenol preparation in female patients with FM.
Myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome is one of the common causes of non-odontogenic pain in the head and neck region. It accounts for 40-60% of the adult population. Different treatment modalities had been reported to release the trigger point within the muscles of mastication in order to reduce pain and allow recovery of the function.
This study has been previously registered with the National Trial Registry (NTR6267) that has been cancelled. The registered trial has been automatically transferred to a new "Landelijk Trial Register", which does not contain all correct information on the current study and where no corrections can be made. Hence, the current study has been registered again with ClinicalTrials.gov. The goal of this clinical trial is to study the effectiveness of an internet-based self-management intervention in adult patients with fibromyalgia. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be performed, in which 70 participants will be randomized to either the self-management intervention or a waitlist control condition (patients in the waitlist condition will receive the intervention after the intervention ends in the intervention group, i.e., after 6 months). The primary effect constitutes of the difference in change in pain coping between patients in the intervention and control condition from baseline to post-intervention. As secondary outcomes, a number of other psychological and physical outcome measures will be assessed (e.g., health-related quality of life, well-being, pain impact on daily life, pain cognitions). Also, cost-effectiveness of the intervention and the quality of the therapeutic relationship will be measured.
Sixty-six FMS patients received the same exercise program for 8 weeks and divided, synchronous (n: 33), asynchronous (n: 33). Pain (Visual analog Scale, VAS), functional limitations and disabilities (Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, FEA), health-related quality of life (HRQol; Short Form-12, SF 12), catastrophizing (pain catastrophizing scale, PCS), anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, HAD), functional capacity (6-minute walking test, 6MWT), muscle strength (Arm curl test) joint position sense (Laser Cursor Assisted Angle Repetition Test, LI-RATT) were assessed at baseline, mid-treatment (week 4), end of treatment (week 8), and eight weeks after treatment (week 16).
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Roujin Formula in the treatment of fibromyalgia syndrome(FMS)patients with blood deficiency and liver depression through a randomized,single-blind,placebo-parallel controlled exploratory clinical trial study,and to provide reliable clinical evidence for the treatment of fibromyalgia syndrome with Roujin Formula. 48 eligible participants with FMS of blood deficiency and liver depression syndrome were selected and randomly divided into treatment group(n=24)and control group(n=24). The treatment group was given Roujin Foumula 150mL,twice a day; The control group was given Roujin Foumula placebo 150mL,twice a day,the study period was 8 weeks. The evaluation points were 0 weeks,4 weeks,and 8 weeks of treatment,and follow-up to 12 weeks. To evaluate the effect changes before and after treatment,FIQR score、VAS score、PSQI score、BDI score and SF-36 PCS、MCS score were used as secondary efficacy evaluation indexes. SPSS23.0 was used to analyze the data.
Objective: This semi-experimental study was conducted to determine the effect of sleep hygiene education on sleep quality, pain, and depression in individuals with fibromyalgia. Patients and methods: A sample of 70 individuals with fibromyalgia (35 experimental, 35 control) were included in the study. Data was collected using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Visual Analog Scale, and the Beck Depression Inventory.
The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of dry needling (DN) and capacitive and resistive transfer of energy (TECAR) therapy in the treatment of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) as well comparison of their efficacy. Research hypothesis: Capacitive and resistive energy transfer therapy is comparable to dry needling therapy for the treatment of myofascial trigger points. It is estimated that the presence of trigger points is the main cause of pain in 30-85% of patients visiting primary health care facilities and pain management clinics. The presence of trigger points may significantly affect the patient's functional status and daily functioning. Recently, diagnostic criteria and methods of treating trigger points have evolved significantly. However, the usefulness of different imaging methods in the diagnosis of trigger points has not yet been established. Despite numerous studies, the long-term effectiveness of the dry needling method is still unknown. Furthermore, there is no available research on the short- and long-term effectiveness of capacitive and resistive energy transfer therapy in the treatment of trigger points. Therefore, the objectives of the work were: Determination and comparison of the short- and long-term effects of capacitive and resistive energy transfer therapy and the dry needling technique of myofascial trigger points located in the upper trapezius muscle (UT) on the strength, neck range of motion and pain intensity within this muscle. The study is planned to include a group of 26 men aged 25 to 45 who suffer from pain caused by the presence of myofascial trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle. The subjects will be divided into two groups of equal number of people. The first group will undergo therapy using the dry needling technique, while the second group will undergo capacitive and resistive energy transfer therapy. In order to determine the immediate effects of capacitive and resistive energy transfer therapy and dry needling techniques, measurements of muscle strength, the intensity of pain in the upper trapezius muscle and neck range of motion will be performed before and after each therapeutic session (2 session in 2 weeks are planed). In turn, to determine the long-term effects of capacitive and resistive energy transfer therapy and dry needling, the next above-mentioned measurements will be performed four weeks after the end of first therapy.
The goal of this randomized-controlled study is to investigate the impact of EMDR therapy on fibromyalgia symptoms, depression, sleep quality, and traumatic stress in fibromyalgia patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does EMDR become useful in relieving pain and complaints in fibromyalgia patients? - Is specific EMDR Fibromyalgia Protocol effective of fibromyalgia patients? - Does EMDR therapy decrease depression, sleep quality and traumatic stress symptoms of individuals with fibromyalgia?
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the performance of botulinum toxin (BTX) injections for bruxism. Participants were divided into two groups according to the duration of the symptoms. The main question is whether BTX should be reserved for long-standing bruxism where the conventional methods failed or indicated as a first-line treatment. The investigator also compared the required doses and the frequency of treatment sessions between these two groups for a complete recovery.
