Filter by:The aim of this study is to compare the developed home-based surface electrical stimulation program to the controls in computer office workers with MPS.
To compare the effects of Bowen's and Graston Technique in patients of chronic low back pain for reducing pain, enhancing lumbar range of motion and physical functioning and reducing depression.
Fibromyalgia is a syndrome characterized by chronic generalized musculoskeletal pain, accompanied by other symptoms such as fatigue, sleep disturbance and depression. Complaints of memory deficit, cognitive dysfunction, headache and gastrointestinal disorders are also common. Although it is a relatively common syndrome, exist a limited effectiveness of the pharmacologycal treatment. However, In the last years new therapeutic and diagnostic options have been sought. This scenario includes the use of different techniques of non-invasive brain stimulation, such as transcranial direct current magnetic stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which have already had promising results in reducing pain. Based on the above, the objective of this research is to evaluate the effect of cerebellar tDCS on clinical measures of pain and cortical excitability in patients with fibromyalgia. In this study, the intervention consists of a single tDCS session in which two devices will be used simultaneously. The active electrode will be placed in the cerebellum and/or in the primary motor cortex and the cathode in the contralateral supraorbital region. It is expected that the application of this protocol will be able to have a modulatory effect on clinical pain measures. In addition to producing changes in cortical excitability as a reflection of the integration between the cerebellum-thalamus-cortical pathways.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the potential benefits of a digital Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (dCBT-I) platform, Sleepio, in individuals suffering from fibromyalgia, a condition commonly associated with cognitive issues and sleep disorders. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - Does the application of Sleepio improve quality of life in individuals with fibromyalgia? - Does the use of Sleepio improve cognitive function in individuals with fibromyalgia? - Does the use of Sleepio enhance sleep quality in these same individuals? - Does the use of Sleepio improve motor function in this group? Participants will be randomly assigned to either use the Sleepio platform or standardised health advice, including sleep hygiene material. Those assigned to Sleepio will undergo a series of six 20-minute sessions over 10 weeks with a virtual therapist focusing on cognitive and behavioural strategies for improving sleep. Participants' quality of life, cognitive function, sleep quality, and pain levels will be monitored and evaluated using online assessment tools. Additionally, a subset of participants will undergo further testing via sleep actigraphy and/or neuroimaging with MRI scans. Researchers will compare the two groups to determine if the use of Sleepio has a positive effect on quality of life, cognitive function, and sleep quality.
Participants with chronic pain conditions including chronic low back pain and fibromyalgia may benefit from light stimuli presented to the retina to reduce chronic pain severity and pain sensitivity. Participants will be recruited into this study and will be presented with one of three uniform light stimuli via a wide-field ganzfeld in three conditions to determine the retinal mechanisms that reduce pain. This work will lead to a greater understanding of retinal mechanisms that contribute to pain and will assist the design of future studies to harness the potential of light based pain therapies.
This study aims to investigate the association between psychological wellbeing, physical activity, and disability in patients with fibromyalgia. Participants will complete self-reported questionnaires to assess psychological wellbeing, physical activity, and disability. The study will use descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis to analyze the data.
Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS); is a complex syndrome characterized by many symptoms such as chronic widespread pain, fatigue and sleep disorders, cognitive dysfunctions and psychiatric disorders. It has been stated that there is an urgent need for studies examining the clinicimetric and psychometric properties of the pain phenotype criteria in terms of patients receiving the most appropriate treatment, clinicians deciding on the appropriate treatment, and contributing to the research of scientists. Despite all this, no study has yet been found that describes the pain phenotypes in fibromyalgia syndrome and how different types of pain affect patients. The primary aim of this study is to determine the chronic pain phenotypes in individuals with FMS. The secondary aim of this study to determine the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the algorithm used in the determination of pain phenotypes and to assessment the clinical effects of different pain phenotypes on individuals with FMS in terms of pain severity, disease severity, quality of life and catastrophe.
Accumulating research with human adults suggests that a single session of physical exercise ameliorates different aspects of cognitive function immediately after the end of the exercise period, regardless of fitness level. It has now been more clearly demonstrated that the effect of physical exercise on cognitive performance depends both on the intensity and the duration of the exercise. Fibromyalgia (FM) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain, sleep disturbances, morning stiffness, fatigue, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of exercise on cognitive functions in patients with FM.
This study will be conducted to examine the superiority of effectiveness between muscle energy technique combined with physical therapy, strain counterstrain combined with physical therapy, and physical therapy alone in terms of pain intensity, pain pressure threshold, cervical lateral flexion and rotation range of motion, and neck function for patients with upper trapezius myofascial trigger points.
To determine whether a targeted right/left discrimination training program can improve pain perception and functional disability in fibromyalgia patients.
