Active clinical trials for "Fibromyalgia"

This study aims to evaluate the effect of therapeutic exercise on the gut microbiome in chronic widespread pain patients. Our investigation purpose is to improve the quality of life of participants, reduce their disability and optimize their functionality. The intervention will last 6 weeks, with 2 face-to-face therapeutic exercise sessions guided by a professional and a 6-week post-intervention follow-up. The participation will require: Attend the 12 therapeutic exercise sessions Attend the 3 evaluations: at the beginning (A0), post intervention (A1) and +6 weeks after finishing the exercise program (A3). The items to be evaluated will be the following: The Ronald Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) Anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)) Depression: Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) Quality of Life: SF-12 Pain: numerical scale (0-100) and The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Sensory tests: heat pain threshold (HPT), pressure pain threshold (PPT) and pain modulation (CPM) Perform a pre blood test on interleukins IL-18 and IL-1β This study involves the processing of personal data, so the researchers will guarantee confidentiality in their treatment at all times, complying with the personal data protection regulations, in particular, European Regulation 679/2016. , of April 27, general data protection, as well as Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights. In order to maintain your privacy and anonymity during the research, only one person on the research team will know how names were assigned to a participation number.

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 hypothesis of the study is that group therapy in fibromyalgia patients can provide significant improvement in pain, fatigue, anxiety and depression levels and emotional expressions.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an experimental device called the Sana Pain Reliever Device (Sana Device) on treating pain due to fibromyalgia.

Shear-wave elastography (SWE) is considered as a useful tool for quantifying muscle stiffness. Considering that Myofascial Trigger Points (MTrP) are defined as "hyperirritable zones in contracted bands of muscle, thought to be caused by muscle overload or stress" and the effectiveness of dry needling applied to active MTrP for reducing pain and disability, the aim of this study is to assess the effects of sham and real dry needling, applied to active MTrP in the upper trapezius muscle in patients with chronic neck pain, on the muscle stiffness in two areas: 1) the most symptomatic area and 2) a control point.

Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is a chronic rheumatic disease characterized by a wide range of symptoms such as widespread muscle pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, anxiety-depression, impaired balance, falling risk, poor physical condition, cognitive dysfunction, and irritable bowel syndrome. The aim of the study; It is a comparison of the effectiveness of aerobic exercises and postural stabilization exercises that are structured to reduce the pain severity, fatigue, sleep problems and anxiety-depression levels of patients who are being followed up with a diagnosis of FMS, and to increase the duration of physical activity and quality of life.

This study will examine the effectiveness of water-filtered whole-body hyperthermia during an outpatient setting in patients with fibromyalgia. The duration of the study is about 3 weeks with two treatment units per week and a passive period (follow-up measurement) of 24 weeks after the outpatient setting.

The aim of the study was to examine the effectiveness of clinical pilates exercises and connective tissue massage in individuals with Fibromyalgia (FM). 32 women were randomly divided into two groups as intervention (n=15, mean age=48.80±7.48) and control (n=17, mean age=55.64±7.87). While connective tissue massage and clinical pilates exercises were applied to the intervention group, control group were applied only clinical pilates exercises.According to our results, connective tissue massage increased the effectiveness of clinical pilates exercises in individuals with FM.

Fibromyalgia is a chronic and complex condition with symptoms that have a strong impact of patients' quality of life, including musculoskeletal pain, insomnia, fatigue, and stiffness. These symptoms are due to a dysfunction of the central nervous system, namely increased sympathetic and decreased parasympathetic levels of activity, and a deficit in endogenous pain inhibition. Remedee Labs is developing a unique technology using millimeter waves to stimulate subcutaneous nerve receptors of the wrist, sending a message to the brain, which in turn releases endorphins. These endorphins induce a hypoalgesic effect and activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which reduces pain, stress, and improves sleep. The Remedee Solution evaluated in this study is a wristband designed to deliver millimeter wave, a mobile application that allows the patient to follow his treatment sessions and a personalized support which aims to improve patient adherence to the technology and to increase compliance and effectiveness of the treatment. The hypothesis of this study is that regular use of the Remedee Solution for three months improves the quality of life of fibromyalgia patients.

The aim of this study is to investigate the short and long-term effects of dry-needling of participants with trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle. 64 participants who diagnosed with myofascial pain syndrome will be included in the study. All participants will have trigger points in the upper trapezius muscles. They are randomised into two groups: dry needling (n=32) and exercise group (n=32). Ultrasonographic evaluation of trigger points (diameter, circumference and area), pain intensity and neck disability will be evaluated as primary outcome. Active cervical range of motion will be evaluated as secondary outcome.
