Filter by:The onset of chronic Fibromyalgia symptomatology is due to central alterations, together with peripheral neuroimmune modifications. Using positron emission tomography (PET), it has been observed for the first time that fibromyalgia patients have a high activation of microglial cells compared to normal subjects. Experimental evidence in neuroinflammation models in vitro and in vivo have demonstrated the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effect of Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), effects confirmed by observational clinical investigations conducted in patients with fibromyalgia in which micronized and ultra-micronized Palmitoylethanolamide (mPEA and umPEA) reduced the intensity of pain improving the quality of life. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of PEA-m + PEA-um administered as an add-on therapy with a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical investigation.
Suffering a traumatic event is a potential risk factor for developing Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) with or without comorbidities with other pathologies that can become chronic with time, including fibromyalgia. Different study results show the existence of an association between living traumatic events and developing fibromyalgia. However, studies in the field have not evaluated thoroughly the nature of traumatic events, the subsequent development of PTSD and the degree to which it can cause an impairment. These results will allow us increase the knowledge about the effects of comorbidity between both medical conditions, get to know in depth the type of traumatic events that female patients with FM suffer, and express the importance of the implementation of a therapeutic approach which takes into account the existing psychological symptoms in addition to the main principal pathology.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether application of Dry Needling (DN) is effective for improved Muscle Mechanical Properties and Muscle Contractility in Latent Trigger Points point (LTrP) of upper trapezius. Randomized controlled trial, in parallel with cross-control design. Two groups with LTrP in upper trapezius, and will be randomly selected to DN group or Sham-Dn group.
In this study, it was aimed to examine the effects of aerobic exercise and balance-proprioception exercises on pain, functionality and strength parameters of fibromyalgia patients and to compare the two exercise types.
Objective: To demonstrate the most effective exercise intervention for women with fibromyalgia syndrome on the pain, quality of life, depression, and body composition through a comparative study of three types of exercise intervention: supervised aerobic plus stretching, supervised resistance plus stretching, and home-based stretching.
Systemic sclerosis [SSc]; is a multisystem disease characterized by immune activation, microvascular disease and fibroblast dysfunction, which is thought to occur as a result of complex and not fully understood interaction between genetic and environmental factors, leading to fibrotic changes in the skin and some internal organs. It is characterized by the deposition of collagen and other matrix components in the skin and some internal organs. It has been shown by evaluating the health assessment questionnaire that it causes disability with increasing frequency over time. Although pain cannot be localized too well to be attributed to a particular anatomical area, there are several musculoskeletal pain syndromes that can be detected in patients with systemic sclerosis. These are tendonitis, polyarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis and fibromyalgia. While there are several studies on others, the relationship between fibromyalgia syndrome and SSc is not known clearly. As with other connective tissue diseases, fibromyalgia is not considered to be rare in SSc.
Myofascial pain syndrome is a common chronic disease characterized by pain and tenderness in one or more muscle groups. It is characterized by myofascial trigger points that are felt as a band or a nodule harder than normal consistency located in the muscle. Myofascial trigger points are developes as a result of muscle injury ; this can be acute trauma caused by sport injury, accident, or chronic muscle overuse by repetitive occupational activities, emotional stress or poor posture. Trigger point injection is the application of low dose local anesthetic drug into the trigger point.Its main purpose is to weaken the trigger point caused by muscle spasm.However, it may reduce pain partially or have a short duration of action, so it may need to be repeated several times at regular intervals.Trigger point injection can reach trigger points in superficial muscles With the erector spina plane block technique, more effective and long-term pain treatment can be achieved by reaching deeper trigger points. With this hypothesis, we aimed to investigate the contribution of the erector spina plane block to trigger point injection in the treatment of myofascial pain.
The patients diagnosed with pelvic pain will be included in the study. Orthopedic tests for pelvic pain were performed after routine gynecological examinations. After perineometer measurement, pelvic floor muscle sensitivity grading, ultrasound, and pain score evaluation, participants will be randomized and divided into 3 groups. According to a randomization plan the first group will be instructed by a physiotherapist to receive an internal myofascial trigger point release technique, the second group receive an external myofascial trigger point release technique, and the third group receive a video of relaxation exercises related to pelvic pain. After the application, measurement of perineometer and pelvic floor muscle sensitivity grading, ultrasound, and pain evaluations will be repeated.
Muscle pain is frequently attributed to myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) in which myofascial trigger points (MTrP) are a characteristic feature. Dry needling is a frequent clinical practice to manage MPS but few evidence is published about percutaneous electrolysis effects for the treatment of MPS. This is a randomized clinical trial with 3 parallel groups: 1) High intensity-short time percutaneous electrolysis; 2) Low intensity-long time percutaneous electrolysis; 3) dry needling control group.
The aim of this randomized controlled study in to investigate if a shock wave treatment extended to the gastrocnemius-soleus trigger points (TrP) is more effective than a standard treatment exclusively targeted at the plantar fascia in a population affected by unilateral plantar fasciitis with concomitant sural myofascial pain syndrome.
