Muscle stretching is a therapeutic technique commonly used by physiotherapists, but for the
treatment of fibromyalgia it still has weak evidence to support its real effect. On the other
hand, myofascial mobilization in the location of tender points, as it is the solution for the
population, demonstrating effects on the improvement of the symptoms, but not yet achieving
the minimal clinically important change. In this context, myofascial release guided by
physiological chains, so far not studied, is presented as an alternative to improve pain and
quality of life in patients with fibromyalgia because it acts in a global way and, probably,
more effective.
This study evaluates the effect of myofascial release of the trunk physiological chains and
muscle stretching on pain, quality of life and functional capacity of patients with
fibromyalgia when compared to the control group.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Pain intensity level change | Self reported pain intensity measured by the Visual Analog Scale, wich ranges from 0 to 10, where 0 means absence of pain and 10 means the worst pain already felt | Baseline, after 4 weeks since the beginning of the treatment, after 8 weeks since the beginning of the treatment, follow-up (after 12 weeks since the beginning of the treatment) | |
Primary | Quality of life score change | Evaluated by the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, wich evaluates aspects of functional capacity, work status, psychological disturbances and physical symptoms. The total score ranges from 0 to 100, where higher scores have a worst impact of fibromyalgia on quality of life and functional capacity. | Baseline, after 4 weeks since the beginning of the treatment, after 8 weeks since the beginning of the treatment, follow-up (after 12 weeks since the beginning of the treatment) | |
Secondary | Amount of analgesic ingested | Measured by the analgesic diary, wich is filled weekly | Up to 12 weeks |
