Active clinical trials for "Fibromyalgia"

The study has two parts: Part 1: To evaluate, for adult female patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia, the effects of Free Movement Dance as an add-on intervention after interdisciplinary pain management/rehabilitation at a specialist pain clinic versus modified person-centered progressive resistance exercise. The cognitive-behavioural conceptualization of pain, effects on pain intensity, physical function, self-efficacy, pain catastrophizing, health related quality of life, anxiety and depression symptoms and quality of sleep will be evaluated. Part 2: To develop a theoretically informed understanding of the processes of Free Movement Dance as an add-on intervention after interdisciplinary pain management/rehabilitation at a specialist pain clinic for adult female patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of Kinesio taping on myofascial pain syndrome post neck dissection surgery.

INTRODUCTION: Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition of generalised pain that entails significant limitations in daily and social life due to pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances and mood alterations. Rehabilitation programmes try to alleviate the symptoms and seek intervention methodologies that contribute to improving the quality of life and reduce the socio-economic cost. Innovation, technology and new neurophysiologically based therapeutic interventions are being integrated into rehabilitation clinics and although there are foundations and research into the potential benefits that can be obtained, research is still needed to determine intervention protocols that are more effective and efficient. The company XXX has state-of-the-art technology and equipment in order to be able to offer high quality and professional services in Extremadura and is motivated to participate in scientific, innovation and development projects in order to analyse and take advantage of the great potential of the equipment and thus offer it to society. OBJECTIVE: this project aims to compare the influence of the use of immersive virtual reality combined with Exopulse neuromodulation suits on patients with fibromyalgia. METHODOLOGY: a clinical trial is proposed with probabilistic random assignment in three groups, a control group (G1) in which patients will wear the suit on, but it will not emit any type of current. A suit group (G2), in which only the neuromodulation suit will be used, and an experimental group (G3) in which, in addition to the neuromodulation suit, virtual reality glasses will be used in full immersive mode. The variables to be analysed are: pain, postural stability, muscle activity, muscle oxygenation, thermographic distribution, heart rate variability, stress, anxiety. The acute effects will be analysed after one intervention session (pre-post intervention of one session) and the effects after a programme of 8 sessions. RESOURCES: The intervention equipment will be provided by the company and the assessment equipment by the research group.

In this research, the objective is to evaluate the effect of cerebellar tDCS on clinical measures of pain and cortical excitability in participants with fibromyalgia. This is a randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial that has as its primary outcome the evaluation of the variations in motor evoked potential (MEP) (a neuropsychological outcome) and the visual analog scale (VAS) as a clinical outcome.

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.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of rozanolixizumab to treat adult study participants with severe fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS).

Temporomandibular disorders are common in the general population, the myogenic subtype being the most frequent. Central sensitization seems to be present in this pathology, with a decreased pain pressure threshold observed in both local and remote areas. The best evidence-based treatment consists in combining education, manual therapy and therapeutic exercise in both temporomandibular and cervical regions. Aerobic exercise showed to be effective in subjects with chronic pain and central sensitization, by inducing an hypoalgesic effect. However, there isn't investigation about the effects of aerobic exercise in subjects with myogenic temporomandibular disorders and central sensitization. Thus, the aim of the pilot study is to determine if adding aerobic exercise to an effective physical therapy programme is more effective than physical therapy alone to improve pain pressure threshold in subjects with myogenic temporomandibular disorders and suspicion of central sensitization.

The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of two video-based multicomponent programs: Fibrowalk Virtual and the Fibrowalk Virtual plus face-to-face sessions for patients with fibromyalgia (FM) compared to treatment-as-usual (TAU) only. The investigators posit that Fibrowalk Virtual plus face-to-face sessions, due to the best results obtained with the Fibrowalk carried out completely face-to-face versus the results of the Fibrowalk Virtual, can help patients with FM to experience more ubiquitous clinical improvement than TAU or Fibrowalk Virtual alone.

Evaluating myofascial pain dysfunction symptoms using acupuncture, dry needle and Botox injection using electromyography and visual Analogue Scale on two time intervals at 2 and 6 months after the intervention

This project is being conducted to evaluate the impact of explosive synchronization (ES) and its treatment with non-invasive brain stimulation in fibromyalgia (FM). The study design has three components, however, only 2 aims are enrolling participants. The first part (Aim1) is a cross sectional assessment of brain network explosive synchronization activity, connectivity, and response to pain in healthy controls and age and sex-matched fibromyalgia patients; the third part (Aim 3) is a longitudinal assessment of fibromyalgia patients undergoing one week of sham followed by high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) of the motor cortex (M1) or one week of ES HD-tDCS of a brain region identified from computer modelling (Aim 2).
