Clinical Trial Summary

To analyze the effects of a Pilates exercise program in Spanish postmenopausal women with Fibromyalgia


Description:

This is a randomized clinical trial of single-blind with 2 arms (Control group and experimental group), in which a pre-treatment-postest design has been used.

The study will define two groups:

- A control group (CG) that will not be submitted to treatment, which will be evaluated in the pre and post phase of the study. Participants assigned to this group will receive general advice on the positive effects of regular physical activity and will be given a guide to recommendations for promoting physical activity.

- An experimental group (GE) that after an initial evaluation will undergo a physical training program based on Pilates exercises.

Once the intervention is finished, it will be submitted to a final evaluation to see if there is a difference or not with the results obtained at the beginning.

Intervention

Other:
Pilates
The duration of the intervention is 12 weeks, with 2 sessions per week of Pilates. Each session lasts approximately 1 hour and is structured in three parts: initial warm-up, which reviews the basic principles of the Pilates Method (centralization, concentration, movement control, breathing, movement precision and fluency) of 10 minutes duration, a 40-45 minute Pilates session and finally 10 minutes of guided relaxation.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Dynamometer Dynamometer will be employed to assess hand grip stregth At the beginning and at three months
Primary ABC-16 (Activities Specific Balance Confidence Scale) Questionnaire that assesses balance confidence in performing activities of daily living. It is calculated by adding up the 16 responses of the questionnaire, with 0 being the minimum score and 100 being the maximum score. The higher value represents a better result. At the beginning and at three months
Primary FES-I (Falls Efficacy Scale-International) Questionnaire that evaluates the fear of falling. It is calculated by adding up all the answers in the questionnaire, 16 being the minimum score and 64 the maximum score. The higher value represents a worse result. At the beginning and at three months
Primary FSS (Fatigue Severity Scale) A self-report scale describing the severity of fatigue and the impact of fatigue on activities of daily living. It is calculated by adding up the 9 answers of the questionnaire, being 9 the minimum score and 63 the maximum score. The higher value represents a worse result. At the beginning and at three months
Primary FIQ (Fybromialgia Impact Questionnaire) A questionnarie that evaluates the impact of fibromyalgia on the patient's quality of life.The total score is the addition of the scores of all its sections. In the case that there were left some unanswered, all the other ones are added up and the score is divided by the number of items answered and multiplied by 10, with the result that the final score of the FIQ is from 0 to 100. A higher score means a greater impact of the disease on the patient. At the beginning and at three months
Primary VAS-Fatigue Fatigue assessed by a Visual Analogue Scale (10 cm). The patient marks the intensity of the fatigue on a numerical scale of 0-10, with 0 being the minimum score and 10 being the maximum score. The higher value represents a worse result. At the beginning and at three months
Primary VAS-pain Pain assessed by a Visual Analogue Scale (10 cm). The patient on a numerical scale of 0-10 marks the intensity of the pain, with 0 being the minimum score and 10 the maximum score. The higher value represents a worse result. At the beginning and at three months
Primary PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) A simple and valid assessment of both sleep quality and disturbance that might affect. They consist of 10 questions divided into four subscales: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep discomfort, medication use and daytime dysfunctions, adding up to a total score. The higher value represents a worse result. At the beginning and at three months
Primary HADS (The Hospital Anxiety And Depression) A reliable, valid and practical screening tool for identifying and quantifying anxiety and/or depression in non- patients. It is calculated by the sum of the 14 questions in the questionnaire divided into two subscales: anxiety (questions 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13) and depression (questions 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14). The higher value represents a worse result. At the beginning and at three months
Primary SF-36 (The Short Form-36 Health Survey) Used extensively for assessing health-related quality of life. It is calculated by adding the 36 questionnaires divided into 9 subscales: general health, health change, physical function, physical role, role or emotional performance, social function, physical or body pain, vitality and mental health. Each item is rated 0-1-2-3-4 points with 0 being the best score. At the beginning and at three months
