Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the potential benefits of a digital Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (dCBT-I) platform, Sleepio, in individuals suffering from fibromyalgia, a condition commonly associated with cognitive issues and sleep disorders. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - Does the application of Sleepio improve quality of life in individuals with fibromyalgia? - Does the use of Sleepio improve cognitive function in individuals with fibromyalgia? - Does the use of Sleepio enhance sleep quality in these same individuals? - Does the use of Sleepio improve motor function in this group? Participants will be randomly assigned to either use the Sleepio platform or standardised health advice, including sleep hygiene material. Those assigned to Sleepio will undergo a series of six 20-minute sessions over 10 weeks with a virtual therapist focusing on cognitive and behavioural strategies for improving sleep. Participants' quality of life, cognitive function, sleep quality, and pain levels will be monitored and evaluated using online assessment tools. Additionally, a subset of participants will undergo further testing via sleep actigraphy and/or neuroimaging with MRI scans. Researchers will compare the two groups to determine if the use of Sleepio has a positive effect on quality of life, cognitive function, and sleep quality.
This study aims to investigate the association between psychological wellbeing, physical activity, and disability in patients with fibromyalgia. Participants will complete self-reported questionnaires to assess psychological wellbeing, physical activity, and disability. The study will use descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis to analyze the data.
Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS); is a complex syndrome characterized by many symptoms such as chronic widespread pain, fatigue and sleep disorders, cognitive dysfunctions and psychiatric disorders. It has been stated that there is an urgent need for studies examining the clinicimetric and psychometric properties of the pain phenotype criteria in terms of patients receiving the most appropriate treatment, clinicians deciding on the appropriate treatment, and contributing to the research of scientists. Despite all this, no study has yet been found that describes the pain phenotypes in fibromyalgia syndrome and how different types of pain affect patients. The primary aim of this study is to determine the chronic pain phenotypes in individuals with FMS. The secondary aim of this study to determine the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the algorithm used in the determination of pain phenotypes and to assessment the clinical effects of different pain phenotypes on individuals with FMS in terms of pain severity, disease severity, quality of life and catastrophe.
The goal of this observational study is to develop and validate a biomarker for lumbar myofascial pain (MP) based on ultrasound obtained measurements of the lumbar muscles and fascia. The investigators will use advanced machine learning approaches and validation in a randomized controlled trial. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Will the deep learning-based marker reliably identify subjects from the 4 different groups: healthy, MP without trigger points, MP with latent trigger points, and MP with active trigger points? - Will the deep learning-based marker accurately classify/predict the severity of MP in subjects with cLBP? Participants in the healthy group will be asked to do the following tasks: - Consent/Enrollment - Measure Height/Weight - Complete Questionnaires on REDCap - Participate in Ultrasound Imaging Experiment Sessions Participants in the chronic low back pain group will be asked to do the following tasks: - Consent/Enrollment - Complete Questionnaires on REDCap - Measure Height/Weight - Undergo a Standardized Clinical Exam - Participate in Ultrasound Imaging Experiment Sessions
Accumulating research with human adults suggests that a single session of physical exercise ameliorates different aspects of cognitive function immediately after the end of the exercise period, regardless of fitness level. It has now been more clearly demonstrated that the effect of physical exercise on cognitive performance depends both on the intensity and the duration of the exercise. Fibromyalgia (FM) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain, sleep disturbances, morning stiffness, fatigue, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of exercise on cognitive functions in patients with FM.
This study will be conducted to examine the superiority of effectiveness between muscle energy technique combined with physical therapy, strain counterstrain combined with physical therapy, and physical therapy alone in terms of pain intensity, pain pressure threshold, cervical lateral flexion and rotation range of motion, and neck function for patients with upper trapezius myofascial trigger points.
To determine whether a targeted right/left discrimination training program can improve pain perception and functional disability in fibromyalgia patients.
The goal of this observational study is to test for behavioural and neurophysiological biomarkers in fibromyalgia patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is there a measurable decline in working memory? - Could these measures help in fibromyalgia differential diagnosis? Participants will: - perform Color Comparison tasks - perform n-back tasks
The goal of this observational study is to learn about interoception and proprioception in patients with fibromyalgia. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is there a significant difference in interoception between patients with fibromyalgia and healthy controls? - Is there a significant difference in proprioception between patients with fibromyalgia and healthy controls? The participants will perform: - The respiratory occlusion discrimination task - A postural control task where the effect of muscle vibration on center of gravity displacement is examined - The head repositioning accuracy task The participants will also fill out different questionnaires. Researchers will compare healthy controls to see if there is a significant difference.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about interoception in patients with stress related syndromes (overstrain, burnout; SRS) and functional disorder (fibromyalgia/ chronic fatigue syndrome; FD). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is there a significant difference in interoception between patients with SRS and healthy controls? - Is there a significant difference in interoception between patients with FD and healthy controls? - Is there a significant difference in interoception between patients with SRS and FD? The participants will perform the respiratory occlusion discrimination task and have to fill out some questionnaires. Researchers will compare healthy controls to see if there is a significant difference.
