Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Fibromyalgia impact questionnaire
Used to assess health related quality of life before and after the treatment, maximum score means worse outcome
Visual analogue scale
Used to assess the severity of cervical and lumbar pain of each premenopausal women in both groups before and after the treatment, maximum score means worse outcome
Active range of motion of cervical and lumbar regions
Measurement of active flexion, extension, lateral flexion in cervical and lumbar regions before and after the treatment

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to determine the effect of muscle energy technique versus myofascial release on cervical and lumbar pain in premenopausal women with fibromyalgia
Detailed Description
Fibromyalgia is an idiopathic, non articular pain syndrome with generalized tender points. It is multisystem disease characterized by sleep disturbance and fatigue. It affect 5% of the world population. The incidence is higher in women than in men. And the age is between 30 and 35 years old.
