Treatment of Fibromyalgia and CFS with Recovery Factors
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of Dry needling and Activator trigger point therapy on upper trapezius trigger points.Randomized controlled trial was conducted on Sixty-eight patients with active upper trapezius trigger points meeting the inclusion criteria i.e Age limit 20-45 both genders, presence of unilateral or bilateral upper trapezius Trigger Points. For bilateral presence of trigger points, the more painful side was selected. If more than one trigger points were present on the side to be treated, most painful trigger point was treated. Patients fulfilling essential criteria to identify the trigger points. According to Simon's criteria, which included a palpable taut band that was detected with palpation, the presence of a sensitive nodule in the taut band which was determined with algometry and referral pain. Exclusion criteria was specific neck pain, e.g. radiculopathy, systemic or inflammatory pain., evidence of spinal cord compression, recent neck surgery or trauma, long-term use of corticosteroids, anticoagulant use, e.g. Warfarin, presence of a blood coagulation disorder, contraindication for needling such as local infection, pregnancy with threatened abortion. Participants were selected by purposive sampling, group randomization using lottery method technique. All the participants were assessed using Numeric pain rating scale to measure pain, algometer to measure pain pressure threshold and inclinometer to measure cervical lateral flexion range of motion. A demographic form was used to collect data from patients. Patients were randomly assigned in dry needling and activator therapy group. Treatment was given at a frequency of 2 sessions per week and total 6 sessions were given to both group during a course of 3 weeks. The data was analyzed using SPSS 21.
Fibromyalgia syndrome is the most common cause of chronic generalized musculoskeletal pain and is characterized by pain associated with generalizad sensitivity, fatigue, sleep disturbances and psychological problems. Due to the chronic nature of the pathology and the great dependence on analgesic drugs that it often entails, in these patients it is considered necessary to provide an individualized approach and provide strategies that allow symptoms to be controlled conservatively and non-pharmacologically. The objective of this trial is to analyse the immediate effects on pain, mechanical pain sensitivity, impact of fibromyalgia, pain catastrophizing, psychological distress and physical function when a telerehabilitation program based on aerobic exercise is applied in women with fibromyalgia. For this purpose the investigators conduct a randomized controlled trial single-blind (examiner). The investigators included female patients diagnosed of fibromyalgia according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR). Thirty-four women with fibromyalgia are included and randomized into 2 groups: telerehabilitation program group based on aerobic exercise and control group. Exercise group receive 2 treatment sessions a week over 15 weeks. All the variables are measured at the beginning of intervention and after the intervention.
The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of three different treatment methods in the management of myofascial pain: masseteric nerve block (MN), trigger point injection(TrP) with local anesthetic (LA) and dry needling (DN).Study Design: 45 subjects aged 18-54 years were randomly assigned to the MN group (n= 15), LA group (n=15) and DN group (n=15).
This study analyze the effectiveness of a Physiotherapy treatment versus a Qigong exercise programme improving quality of life of subjects with Fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia (FM) syndrome is defined by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), as a chronic widespread pain and tenderness in at least eleven of eighteen specific tender points. Despite the increased understanding about FM, there is currently no cure for this syndrome and the treatment aims to provide symptomatic relief and improvement of physical capacities to perform daily tasks and quality of life. Evidence has suggest that photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) can be used as monotherapy or as a supplementary treatment to other therapeutic procedures in patients with FM. However, the lack of consensus regarding therapeutic protocols hinders multicenter comparisons of the many clinical trials published. Further studies are needed to establish ideal parameters of PBMT to be used as a therapeutic tool in the management of fibromyalgia. Therefore, the aim of this project is to investigate the effectiveness of PBMT combined with static magnetic fields (sMF) in pain relief in patients with fibromyalgia.
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of ischemic compression and IASTM techniques on pain, EHA, functionality, anxiety and depression in patients with the diagnosis of RM tear and presence of ATN. In addition, ischemic compression and EDYDM methods were aimed to compare and to reveal which application would be more useful.
Up to 77% of patients with chronic shoulder pain have a trigger point (TrP) in the infraspinatus muscle. These TrPs can lead to pain, limitation of activities and reduced quality of life. Dry needling (DN) is gaining popularity as a treatment for TrPs in physiotherapy. However, its clinical effects remain poorly understood mechanistically and its neurophysiological effects little studied. The primary objective of this study is to determine the feasibility of a larger scale study. The secondary objective of this study is to to explore the immediate neurophysiological, biomechanical and clinical effects of DN and sham needling when applied to TrP of the infraspinatus muscle in people with chronic non-traumatic shoulder pain.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome, often involves high levels of depression, anxiety and cognitive deficits (e.g., "Fibro Fog"). Mindfulness-based Intervention (MBI), is a mind-body intervention, which has been documented in several studies as effective among stress- related diseases, such as crohn's disease. Nevertheless, not much is known about the efficiency of MBI among fibromyalgia patients and about the mechanisms of change through which MBI works. In the present study, the investigators are focusing on different cognitive mechanisms and their role in MBI action. The study is a randomized-controlled trial. 95 Patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia (Mean age=52) were randomly assigned to either a 10-weeks MBI intervention (N=49) or a waitlist-control (WL;N=46). 4 central measurements points were conducted through the study, which included physiological and psychological variables: at the beginning of the intervention (T1), in the middle of the intervention (T2) at the end of the intervention (T3) and one 6 months follow- up measurement after the termination of the intervention (T4). additionally, participant's blood test has been taken at the beginning and at the end of the intervention.
