The prevalence of the fibromyalgia is about 10-15% in the European countries. It is unclear
the etiology and pathogenesis of the syndrome. Several factors such as dysfunction of the
central and autonomic nervous systems, neurotransmitters, hormones, immune system, external
stressors, psychiatric aspects, and others seem to be involved. But the symptom commonly
expressed by the people who suffer from it is pain.
The main goal of the present study is to analyse the effect of the kinesiotaping on the
pain, comfort and postural position of the patient with fibromyalgia.

Inclusion Criteria: - age between 18 and 70 years old and diagnosis of fibromyalgia based on the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) diagnostic criteria (Wolfe et al., 2011). Once they expressed their interest in taking part of the study, potential participants underwent an examination by a rheumatologist of the association to confirm the diagnosis of fibromyalgia.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Pain intensity | The pain intensity was recorded by a visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain. The pain was expressed on a scale of 0-10, with 0 being "no pain" and 10 "maximum tolerable pain." | three weeks | No |
Secondary | Comfort. | Five VAS were used to identify their level of comfort in the following corporal regions: head-neck, shoulders, thoracic segment, lumbar region and pelvic region (0=absolute discomfort and 10=full comfort). Participants placed a mark along the line in order to measure their comfort level, which was scored to the nearest centimeter. | three weeks | No |
Secondary | Impact on quality of life. | The Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) was used to assess the functional status of this population. This questionnaire is composed of 10 questions. Items 4 through 10 are horizontal linear scales marked in 10 increments on which the patient rates work difficulty, pain, fatigue, morning tiredness, stiffness, anxiety and depression. | three weeks | No |
Secondary | Physical well-being | Was determined using self-administered questionnaire, designed for this purpose included a 16-item. The reliability of the questionnaire was analyzed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient, which indicated a good internal consistency (a = 0.70). | three weeks | No |
Secondary | Trunk posture. | To assess the position of the superior part of the trunk, the evaluation of the minor pectoral length in supine position was employed, taking the distance (with a tape measure) between the posterior edge of the acromion to the stretcher while the patients remain in that position with their hands laying on their belly. | three weeks | No |
Secondary | Perception of change | Was evaluated with the Patient's Global Impression of Change scale after treatment. Participants were asked to score their perception of changing after the intervention received with a one-item questionnaire with seven alternatives (1= maximum change to 7 = no change at all). | three weeks | No |
