Filter by:The study evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of probiotic VSL#3 for the treatment of gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with fibromyalgia; 50% of the participants received probiotic and the remaining 50% received matching placebo in a double-blind, randomized design.The treatment was administered during a 12-week period and the participants were followed for an additional 12-week period in order to follow the evolution after treatment.
The development of an integral and global treatment to improve the quality of life in those with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is challenging, thus a whole body Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy program is proposed as an effective option.
Background: Dry needling trigger point treatment, while painful, has been demonstrated as a useful tool in fibromyalgia patients for decreasing pain and central sensitization. However, the current biopsychosocial pain paradigm indicates that fibromyalgia subjects with high levels of catastrophizing have negative thoughts related with perceived partner responses to pain, which results in an emotional and physical stress after a painful episode. Objective: To assess whether catastrophizing could influence the perception of pain during and after dry needling application. Study design: A singled-blind randomized controlled trial. Setting: Department of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universitat Jaume I Methods: Female fibromyalgia patients and number and age-matched female controls will be recruited and randomly assigned to either a real or a simulated dry needling group. The Spanish version of the pain catastrophizing scale will be used to assess the catastrophizing level of each participant before initiating any of the planned interventions. The perceived pain during and immediately after the dry needling procedure will be measured using the pain visual analogue scale, [VAS].
This study investigated the effects of reformer pilates exercises in Fibromyalgia, which is a chronic musculoskeletal disease characterized by widespread pain in the body, on number of painful regions, disease activity, lower extremity muscle strength, functional mobility, balance, kinesophobia, fatigue, sleep quality, biopsychosocial status and quality of life and compared effects of clinical pilates-based home pilates which is performed on a mat.
Veterans who have responded well to Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA), a form of auricular acupuncture, in routine clinical practice will be invited to receive education to insert the needles themselves at home. A 3D-printed wearable prosthetic will also be explored as a means to facilitate needle placement. Primary end-points will include whether adverse events occur over a six-month period and whether the aforementioned prosthesis significantly facilitates needle placement in terms of subjective ease of administration.
A multitude of stretching parameters are used in the clinical setting. However, there is no convincing evidence to suggest which parameters are most effective in the management of chronic myofascial pain syndrome .In this regard, although the stretching duration is considered one of the most important variables that can affect the treatment outcome, to date there is little agreement on the most effective stretching duration.Accordingly ,we will conduct this study to investigate the effect of different stretching duration on nerve root function ,central conduction time, and chronic myofascial pain management outcomes.
The main objective of this study is to analyse the efficacy of the NAT-FM multicomponent treatment program as coadjuvant of treatment-as-usual (TAU) compared to TAU alone. In this Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), in addition to evaluating the clinical effects of NAT-FM treatment in the short- and long-term, the research team will seek to identify relevant moderators and mediators of clinical change.
A topical anesthetic gel lidocaine has been widely used as a local anesthetic to reduce the pain and discomfort. It provides local analgesia by blocking the initiation and transmission of impulses. Lidocaine topical anesthetic gel allows the use of high concentrations of the anesthetic bases without concern about local irritation, uneven absorption or systemic toxicity (Argoff, 2000 ). So, the aim of this study is to compare between the effect of lidocaine phonophoresis and pulsed ultrasound in myofascial pain syndrome in swimmers children.
Fibromyalgia (FM)and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) are complex diseases often presenting overlapping symptomatology. Manual therapy (MT) protocols report benefits for pain treatment of FM, but the underlying mechanisms for patient improvement remain unknown. The main goal of this study is to assess the molecular changes associating to mechanical and additional MT triggers, possibly involved in patient symptom improvement.
This is a Phase 3, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 14-week study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TNX-102 SL 5.6 mg (2 x 2.8 mg tablets) taken daily at bedtime for the treatment of fibromyalgia.
