Filter by:Fibromyalgia, a chronic pain disorder, presents a significant challenge in healthcare due to its widespread musculoskeletal pain, tenderness, and a spectrum of associated symptoms. This condition profoundly affects patients' physical functions and quality of life, necessitating effective therapeutic interventions. In this study progressive relaxation technique and aquatic therapy with progressive relaxation technique will be used. In aquatic therapy the buoyancy and water resistance play an important role in pain management. This research project aims to explore the efficacy of a novel therapeutic approach by combining progressive relaxation exercises with aquatic therapy. This will be a randomized controlled trial in which non-probability convenience sampling technique will be used. Sample size will be 54 and this study will be conducted in city hospital, Rahim Yar khan. The study duration will be 7 months participants will be divided into 2 groups (27 in each group). The data will be assessed pre values and post values after 8 week of treatment with the help of visual analog scale for pain, fibromyalgia impact questionnaire, berg balance scale, fatigue severity scale and timed up and go. Data will be analyzed with SPSS version 25.
The present project will evaluate through a randomised controlled clinical trial with 4-month follow-up, the efficacy in clinical symptoms and quality of life (3-month time horizon) of the multicomponent EXPERIENTIAL FIBROWALK programme in treating individuals diagnosed with fibromyalgia, in compare with original Fibrowalk and virtual Fibrowalk. Pre-post changes will be evaluated in various variables under investigation, will include kinesiophobia, physical function, anxiety, depression, physical dysfunction, overall impact, and symptom intensity. The design of the present study with 3 treatment branches: Condition or disease Fibromyalgia Intervention/treatment Behavioral: TAU + Experiential Fibrowalk Behavioral: TAU + Fibrowalk Behavioral: TAU + virtual
The principal objective is to contribute valuable insights that hold direct implications for medical practice and patient care, with the potential to influence health policy pertaining to fibromyalgia management.
To verify the efficacy and safety of HA35 in chronic pain management and to further supplement effective treatments for chronic pain, we designed a proof-of-concept clinical study. This study aims to evaluate the 15-day treatment of HA35 on patients with myofascial pain syndrome and to observe the effects for up to 3 months.
Low level laser treatments have been used to treat painful trigger points in myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), but the effectiveness of the appropriate laser type and parameters is still uncertain. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of different types of low level laser treatment (LLLT) in reducing pain levels, changing oxygen saturation and bite force in patients with MPS.
Fibromyalgia is a painful syndrome of unknown etiology, which affects 2% of world population, with symptoms such as: pain, unrefreshing sleep, fatigue and mood disorders. It is already established in the literature that resistance training is part of the non- pharmacological treatment for patients with fibromyalgia. The big gap is about the quantity adequate and/or recommended exercise volume, despite some studies with exercise volumes different resistance trainings show improvements, we do not have a direction, besides We still do not know whether there is a preference for these patients in different resistance training volumes.
This study aims to investigate if a fecal microbiome transplantation (FMT) from healthy donors can reduce symptoms of fibromyalgia, a condition causing chronic pain that is difficult to treat and diagnose. Changes in the gut bacteria of women with fibromyalgia were previously reported, which might be linked to their symptoms. In mice studies, transferring gut bacteria from individuals with fibromyalgia was shown to increase sensitivity to pain, while treatment with antibiotics and transferring bacteria from healthy individuals reversed this effect. In a small open label trial in women, improvements in pain, fatigue, and sleep problems were observed after FMT. The investigators aim to perform a larger trial following a similar path. The study aims to conduct a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving 80 women diagnosed with severe fibromyalgia. Half of the participants (40) will receive the active treatment, while the other half (40) will receive a sham treatment. The allocation to either group will be randomized. Throughout the study period, both the caregivers and the participants will remain unaware of their assigned groups until the study conclusion. Participants' symptoms will be documented and their blood and stool will be tested for changes in certain metabolites. If this treatment works, it could be a significant breakthrough in managing fibromyalgia and might provide new insights into its causes.
PENFS (percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulation) is an FDA-cleared acupuncture-like therapy applied to the external ear targeting several cranial nerve branches including the auricular branch of the vagus nerve to improve pain, physical function, and reduce symptoms of opioid withdrawal. PENFS has been previously shown to provide improvements in fibromyalgia, a difficult to treat chronic pain syndrome, which correlate with changes observed using a special kind of MRI called resting state functional connectivity MRI (rs-fcMRI) that evaluates brain activity at rest. The goals of this study are to rigorously test the initial promising results of PENFS in a much larger group of Veterans suffering from fibromyalgia and to identify potential mechanisms of PENFS effects. Further developing non-pharmacologic therapies for pain can help to improve quality of life and function for those suffering from fibromyalgia and decrease reliance on opioids and other drugs that have numerous side effects for individuals suffering from chronic pain.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of mobilization exercises applied to the thoracic region on pain, anxiety, depression, disease impact questionnaire, sympathetic and parasympathetic activity in patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
Diathermy is a non-invasive pain therapy based on the local application of high-frequency electromagnetic waves. This procedure produces deep heat promotes tissue repair and influences pain sensitivity. The main characteristic of fibromyalgia (FM) is generalized musculoskeletal pain. This may be accompanied by muscle and joint stiffness, sleep and mood disorders, anxiety and depression, cognitive dysfunction, and chronic fatigue. Endemic in developed countries, with a higher prevalence among women than men, and the etiology is still unknown. Diagnosis is made on chronic generalized pain and through the presence of tender points. The objective of this study will be to analyze the efficacy of diathermy on pain in patients with fibromyalgia
