Active clinical trials for "Fibromyalgia"

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.

This study is a multi-center, randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial with two parallel arms. The aim of the study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of Tongluo-Kaibi tablets in patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome.

Although rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatments are very effective in reducing inflammation, chronic pain persists in 20 to 30% of patients. The intestinal microbiota can participate on the pain pathways and a decrease in Faecalibacterium has been associated with chronic pain and chronic fatigue. RA patients have an altered gut microbiota or dysbiosis. Among the bacteria that are most often differentially represented between RA and control, Faecalibacterium, was also found less abundant in RA patients. The composition of the gut microbiota has never been evaluated in relation to the clinical phenotype of RA patients and in particular to the presence of a diffuse pain. In this study, investigators will test whether the gut microbiota of RA patients, and in particular the decrease of Faecalibacterium, would promote pain sensitization phenomena, and thus, chronic pain despite the control of joint inflammation.

The objective of this study was twofold: first, to assess the validity and reliability of the 2 Minute Step Test (2MST) in patients with fibromyalgia; and second, to explore its relationship with objective assessment methods, specifically the 2 Minute Walk Test (2MWT) and the 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT). Additionally, the study aimed to investigate the correlation between the 2MST and quality of life as well as chronic fatigue levels using the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) and the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS).

Herbal Medicine is known as the medicinal use of herbal substances as a means of treating different conditions in the human body to ensure that the body remains in optimal health and wellness. These substances are known to contain very active ingredients in it and as such is also a very potent means of managing diseases and ailments in the body. Herbal medicine has always been a standby source of getting relief from various conditions over centuries, however, it can be categorically said that the mode of usage of these herbal substances has changed over time. Traditional healers help individuals to make meaning out of the natural herbs seen around that can be useful to one's health. Herbal medicine is the use of plants to treat disease and enhance general health and wellbeing. Herbs can interact with other pharmaceutical medications and should be taken with care. Always seek a regular medical doctor (GP) about any health concerns and tell them about any herbal medicines you are taking or thinking of taking. Never stop taking prescribed medications in favor of herbs without first discussing it with your GP.

The purpose of his study is to investigate the effect of physiotherapy protocol in management of depression in patients with fibromyalgia and in patients with psychogenic depression.

This study evaluates the frequency of sexual dysfunction in women with myofascial pain syndrome and its relationship with clinical parameters.

The goal of fibromyalgia Treatment is to relieve the pain and improve quality of life and physical function which need a Final Version: April 2019Research Template 3 multifaceted treatment approach involving non pharmacological pain management and medicine Lyftgot perineural injection therapy "lyftgot PIT" previously known as neural prolotherapy , is a method of injection treatment designed and developed by DR Lyftgot from new Zealand to treat the neurogenic inflammation and the neuropathic pain caused by the sensocrine small nerve fiber .PIT is based on the injection of small amount of dextrose 5%in a neutral PH sterile water solution in the subcutaneous tissue around the sick nerve to correct the neuroglycopenia and to inhibit the neurogenic inflammation.

This research aims to look at the effect of low-dose naltrexone on the severity and frequency of attacks in people with chronic migraine with or without new daily persistent headache and fibromyalgia. A few studies suggest low-dose naltrexone is effective for fibromyalgia, but it has not been studied in patients with migraine and headaches. Our goal is to see if there is an improvement in either severity and frequency of attacks and overall impact on quality of life over a three-month period.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a complex, multifactorial syndrome characterized by widespread chronic pain with hyperal- gesia and allodynia and a constellation of somatic and psychological manifestations, including fatigue, sleep dis- orders, depression, anxiety, gastrointestinal and cognitive disorders. FM is now recognized as one of the most common chronic pain conditions and its management remains a challenge for patients and healthcare profes- sionals. The fact that FM is associated with chronic pain without any obvious peripheral tissue damage has given rise to the concept of nociplastic pain with evidence of dysfunction in mono-aminergic neurotransmission, lead- ing to elevated levels of excitatory neurotransmitters and decreased levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the spinal cord at the level of descending anti-nociceptive pathways. Additionally, dopamine dysregulation and altered activity of endogenous cerebral opioids have been observed in FM. Recent European guidelines on FM treatment emphasize that there should be a comprehensive assessment of patient's pain, function and psychosocial context. It is recognized that there are profound and fundamental problems associated with the pain assessment tools in common use, as most of these represent an attempt to reduce a multidimensional experience to a coarse unidimensional measure. Use of multiple tools for sub- jective and objective assessment of pain may reflect more accurately patient's pain experience. Furthermore, tracing a biologic pain marker in FM patients would facilitate both the initial assessment of pain and the re- sponse to treatment. Management of pain in FM patients should focus first on non-pharmacological modalities. Acupuncture therapy is an effective and safe treatment and exerts its analgesic effect through activation of pe- ripheral and central pain control systems with the release of β-endorphins, enkephalins, dynorphins, serotonin, norepinephrine, γ-aminobutyric acid or ATP. The aim of our study is to assess initially reported pain and evaluate the effectiveness of electroacupuncture (with or without diet modifications) on the "whole experience of pain" in FM patients in a multimodel assessment frame.
