Filter by:The goal of this randomized-controlled study is to investigate the impact of EMDR therapy on fibromyalgia symptoms, depression, sleep quality, and traumatic stress in fibromyalgia patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does EMDR become useful in relieving pain and complaints in fibromyalgia patients? - Is specific EMDR Fibromyalgia Protocol effective of fibromyalgia patients? - Does EMDR therapy decrease depression, sleep quality and traumatic stress symptoms of individuals with fibromyalgia?
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the performance of botulinum toxin (BTX) injections for bruxism. Participants were divided into two groups according to the duration of the symptoms. The main question is whether BTX should be reserved for long-standing bruxism where the conventional methods failed or indicated as a first-line treatment. The investigator also compared the required doses and the frequency of treatment sessions between these two groups for a complete recovery.
To investigate the muscle thickness in patients with fibromyalgia (FMS) and whether there is an increase in muscle thickness, strength, and function with stretching and strengthening exercise therapy in FMS patients.
Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) is a disorder of the musculoskeletal system manifested by referred pain associated with functional limitation, muscle contractures, and possible neuralgic manifestations; this condition is characterized by the presence of "trigger points". The goal of this case-control study was to compare the effects and benefits of treatment with ESWT vs Mesotherapy in myofascial pain syndrome. The main question it aims to answer is: what is the best rehabilitation project-program between ESWT and mesotherapy for patients with myofascial syndrome? A case-control study was conducted at the U.O.C. of "Recovery and Functional Rehabilitation" A.O.U.P. "P. Giaccone" of Palermo from February 2022 to Dicember2023. Patients were randomized into 2 groups: in group "A", No. 5 sessions of focal ESWT were given weekly; in group "B", No. 5 sessions of Mesotherapy with administration of Thiocolchicoside fl 4mg/2ml and Mepivacaine fl 10mg/1ml were given weekly. Patients in group "A" and group "B" were evaluated at baseline (T0), after 5 sessions (T1) and one month after the end of treatment (T2). Researchers will compare patients treated with ESWT and patients performing mesotherapy to see if there are real differences in terms of pain reduction and improved quality of life.
An observational cross-sectional study will be conducted on 90 female students (right dominant) aged 19-26 years at Jazan University, they will have 40 points or more on Smartphone Addiction Proneness Scale (SAPS) and will be divided into three groups (30 students for each): Group I (BMI<25kg/m2), Group II (BMI 25-30kg/m2), and Group III (BMI >30 kg/m2). Pain pressure thresholds were measured using a pressure gauge algometer (PGA) over trigger points in the neck muscles.
In this study, the effects of 4-week Cherry seed pillow application on pain and quality of life in individuals diagnosed with fibromyalgia will be examined.
Although the cause of persistent non-specific low back pain (LBP) remains unknown, structural and functional alterations of the brain, alterations in the lumbar muscles and dysfunction of the central nervous system have been proposed as underlying mechanisms. In this case-control study, 1) brain structure/function, 2) lumbar muscle function and 3) central pain processing are compared across four groups: 1) healthy participants, 2) recurrent LBP (both during pain flare and during pain remission), 3) chronic LBP and 4) fibromyalgia. According to previous research, healthy participants and fibromyalgia patients are two extremes of a "musculoskeletal pain continuum". Healthy participants representing one extreme of the continuum with no pain and fibromyalgia representing the other extreme of the continuum with chronic widespread pain. It is thought that different LBP populations (i.e. (sub)acute, recurrent, chronic LBP) float between the aforementioned extremes. Past studies already highlighted the need for studies comparing the pathophysiological mechanisms for different pain syndromes to identify common underlying mechanisms across pain syndromes. For this reason, the goal of the current study is to compare alterations in brain structure/function, alterations in lumbar muscle function and alterations in central pain processing across the aforementioned "musculoskeletal pain continuum". It is hypothesized that longer duration of pain (recurrent vs chronic) and the extensiveness of the pain (one location vs widespread pain) are associated with more pronounced alterations in 1) brain structure/function, 2) lumbar muscle function and 3) central pain processing.
This study aims to investigate the impact of impact of strain counterstrain technique on pain, lumbar range of motion and functional impairment in patients with lower back Myofascial pain syndrome.
It has been reported in the literature that there is a significant relationship between bruxism and low serum vitamin D levels. It was aimed to compare the effectiveness of diclofenac sodium treatment versus vitamin D supplementation on symptoms in individuals with myofascial pain and vitamin D deficiency.
The objective of this study was twofold: first, to assess the validity and reliability of the 2 Minute Step Test (2MST) in patients with fibromyalgia; and second, to explore its relationship with objective assessment methods, specifically the 2 Minute Walk Test (2MWT) and the 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT). Additionally, the study aimed to investigate the correlation between the 2MST and quality of life as well as chronic fatigue levels using the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) and the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS).
