Filter by:Fibromyalgia (FM) is the prototype of a group of diseases known as central sensitivity syndromes, whose relationship with pain sensitization is well defined. Central sensitization (CS) is also one of the mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain, which is a common complaint in FM patients, is likely to be one of the clinical manifestations of central sensitization. Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between CS and neuropathic pain.
The Aim of This Study is to Compare the Effects of Instrument-assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) Used in Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) and to Determine Whether They Are Superior to Conservative Treatment (CT). 42 Female Patients Diagnosed With MPS Were Included in the Study. The Patients Were Randomly Divided Into Three Groups of 14 People Each. CT (Hot Pack, TENS, Ultrasound) Was Applied to the First Group. CT+IASTM Was Applied to the Second Group and CT+ESWT Was Applied to the Third Group. All Groups Received Treatment for 3 Weeks (CT: 5 Sessions Per Week, 15 Sessions in Total, ESWT and IASTM: 2 Sessions Per Week, 6 Sessions in Total). Neck Stretching Exercises Were Given to All Patients as a Home Program. Before and After the Treatment, the Pain Intensity of the Patients Was Determined by Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Pressure Pain Threshold Was Measured With an Algometer. Cervical Joint Range of Motion (CROM) Was Measured With a CROM Device. Pain, Cervical Mobility, Quality of Life, and Sleep Parameters Were Evaluated With the Neck Outcome Score Questionnaire (NOOS). Depression and Anxiety Parameters Were Evaluated With the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).
Relaxation techniques are a non-pharmacological therapy option applied to alleviate the symptoms of many different chronic diseases. It has been reported in the literature that PMR is effective on pain, fatigue and stress symptoms in fibromyalgia patients. No study has been found examining the effect of PMR on kinesiophobia and functional status in FM. This study was planned to examine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation exercises on pain, kinesiophobia and functional status in fibromyalgia patients.
The purpose of the stud will be to compare the effect of pressure release with thoracic spine manipulation on pain intensity level and pain pressure threshold, thoracic spine ROM and physical function onactive rhomboids muscle trigger point in myofascial pain syndrome.
The goal of fibromyalgia Treatment is to relieve the pain and improve quality of life and physical function which need a Final Version: April 2019Research Template 3 multifaceted treatment approach involving non pharmacological pain management and medicine Lyftgot perineural injection therapy "lyftgot PIT" previously known as neural prolotherapy , is a method of injection treatment designed and developed by DR Lyftgot from new Zealand to treat the neurogenic inflammation and the neuropathic pain caused by the sensocrine small nerve fiber .PIT is based on the injection of small amount of dextrose 5%in a neutral PH sterile water solution in the subcutaneous tissue around the sick nerve to correct the neuroglycopenia and to inhibit the neurogenic inflammation.
Myofascial pain syndrome (MAS) is defined as a regional painful syndrome characterized by pain and tenderness in a muscle group or a muscle, a taut band within the muscle, pain reflected by pressing, and the presence of trigger points. It causes localized muscle pain in the shoulder and neck. The frequency of mas is around 12% in the normal population, and its frequency increases in those with chronic diseases. It is more common in the 30-60 age range and in the female population. Mechanical causes such as micro-macro trauma, nociceptive disorders, physical fatigue, psychological stress and genetic factors are blamed in its etiopathogenesis. Painful myofascial trigger points may occur by pressing on all muscles in the body, although it is more common in the trazius muscle, especially in those who work at a desk, who are constantly in a certain position, and who are sedentary. Myofascial trigger points are often detected by examination.
The goal of this clinical trial is to study the effects of stellate ganglion block (SGB) in participants with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does SGB treatment improve symptoms of ME/CFS (e.g. brain fog, fatigue)? Do changes in symptoms go along with changes in blood or saliva? Participants will receive a total of six blocks over three weeks (one block on each side, one day apart, per week). Prior to treatment and at two points following treatment, participants will complete surveys, take a cognitive (puzzle type) test, and provide blood and saliva for analysis. Participants will measure their heart rate daily using a free smart phone app.
A prospective randomized single-blind study included 60 patients aged 18-65 years who have MPS with active triger points in the upper trapezius muscle. Patients were randomized into two treatment groups as dry needling (DN) and cold spray-stretching. Both treatment groups received 1 treatment per week and totally 3 sessions. Evaluation parameters were pain level assessed by visual analog scale (VAS) and algometer, neck range of motion angles, functional level assessed by neck disability index (NDI). The effects of the treatments on active trigger points were evaluated by sEMG and US histogram. All parameters were evaluated at the beginning of the treatment and after 3 sessions of treatment. Algometer and sEMG were performed also before and after the 1st and 3rd sessions.
Digital health interventions have the potential to address physical inactivity as they are accessible to a large part of the population and can be delivered with high efficiency at a low cost. By enabling patient education, support for self-management, motivation, follow-up, feedback and communication, it can prevent, cure or treat many chronic conditions. These features can increase patient motivation and encourage compliance with home exercises and physical activity . Digital behavior change interventions use digital technologies (such as websites, mobile apps, Short Message Service or wearable devices) to promote and maintain health and have the potential to overcome many barriers compared to in-person programs by providing cost-effective, effective, and accessible information. No study has been found in Turkey examining digital interventions or walking programs that include behavior change techniques to increase physical activity in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome. Considering environmental, cultural and economic factors in this patient group in our society, the investigators think that walking, which the investigators think is the most appropriate physical activity method in terms of cost, accessibility and equipment, should be a permanent behavior. The use of technology to increase physical activity in the era of digitalization is important in terms of addressing the increasing inactivity during the Covid19 pandemic period. The aim of this study is to estimate the effect of digital assisted physical activity intervention combined with patient education compared to patient education alone on physical activity level, functional capacity, quality of life, sleep quality, pain, fatigue, and perspective on exercise of adults with Fibromyalgia Syndrome.
The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to investigate the effects of a telehealth exercise program on pain, symptoms, and cardiopulmonary fitness level of patients with fibromyalgia compared to a home exercise program. The main questions aims to answer: - Is telehealth exercise program is superior to unsupervised home exercise program in and increasing cardiopulmonary fitness level? - Is telehealth exercise program is superior to unsupervised home exercise program in controlling symptoms? Women participants with fibromyalgia randomized to an intervention or comparison group. Intervention group will exercise via telehealth system under supervision. Comparison group will exercise alone at home. Researchers will compare the effects of supervised telehealth exercise program and home exercise on pain, symptoms, and cardiopulmonary fitness level of patients with fibromyalgia.
