Sleep and Pain Interventions in Women With Fibromyalgia

FibromyalgiaInsomnia1 more

Insomnia affects 67-88% of chronic pain patients. SPIN II is a randomized controlled clinical trial that will compare the effects of two cognitive behavioral sleep treatments in women with fibromyalgia and insomnia. This trial will yield important information about the roles of sleep, arousal, and brain structure and function in the development and maintenance of chronic pain in women with fibromyalgia.

Evaluation of the Efficiacy of Mecobalamine in the Treatment of Long-term Pain in Women Diagnosed...

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia causes long term pain where mostly women are affected. It is not entirely clear how vitamin B12 affects the human pain system, there are however many primary studies that indicate different interesting approaches. Considering that the receptor of NMDA is involved in both long-term pain and vitamin B12 deficiency its of most importance to evaluate whether vitamin B12 decreases the pain sensitivity and the experience of pain i.e hyperalgesia and allodynia, at persons with fibromyalgia.The aim of this study is therefore to evaluate the effect of Mecobalamin (vitamin B12), and describe lived experiences of pain, health, suffering and well-being in women with diagnosed fibromyalgia.

Phrenic Nerve Infiltration in Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia

It is known that nociceptive afferences in visceral pain and visceral disorders increase sensitization in subjects suffering from fibromyalgia. These patients use to present visceral comorbidities. Those comorbidities include that of peridiaphragmatic organs, which are supplied by the phrenic nerve among other innervations. It is known that peridiaphragmatic organs trigger referred pain in the neck area, via the phrenic nerves. So, the phrenic nociceptive afferences can be contributing to enhance the state of sensitization in fibromyalgia. This study aims to analyze the ability of phrenic nerve infiltration to diminish sensitization in subjects suffering fibromyalgia, by means of a randomized controlled trial.

Prolonged Nightly Fasting in Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia

The present randomized-controlled pilot trial will test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an 8-week prolonged nightly fasting (PNF) intervention protocol in 20 adults with fibromyalgia. Aim 1: Evaluate feasibility and acceptability of the PNF intervention among participants with fibromyalgia. Aim 2: Evaluate preliminary efficacy of PNF on pain severity and sensitivity, mood, sleep and inflammation.

Effects of and Exploring the Processes of Free Movement Dance as a Physiotherapy Intervention 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.

Effectiveness Pain Neuroscience Education In The Executive Functions In Patients With Fibromyalgia...

FibromyalgiaExecutive Function1 more

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic, complex and disabling clinical entity that has an average global prevalence of 2.7%. It occurs mainly in women in a 3: 1 ratio. It is characterized by persistent generalized pain, fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, cognitive dysfunction and numerous systemic symptoms such as dizziness, migraine, digestive alterations or sensory intolerances. At present there is no pharmacological treatment with specific indication for FM. Usually, non-curative treatments are recommended that alleviate the symptoms of the patients and improve their quality of life and functionality. Many studies have shown cognitive impairment in FM patients compared to control groups, and FM patients mainly show problems with working memory processes and / or in their attentional and executive domains, as well as in speed of speech. processing (BD Dick, Verrier, Harker, & Rashiq, 2008; Glass, 2009; Tesio et al., 2015; Williams, Clauw, & Glass, 2011). Many patients with FM have little understanding of their condition, leading to maladaptive pain cognitions and coping strategies. Current research has suggested the use of physiotherapy and rehabilitation in addition to cognitive patient education in the treatment of fibromyalgia. This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of pain neuroscience education in patients with FM. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the effectiveness of the neuroscience education program on pain in executive functions and the intensity of pain in patients with FM.

Open-label Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Psilocybin With Psychotherapy in Adult Participants...

Fibromyalgia

The pressing need for effective fibromyalgia (FM) treatments, the known safety of psilocybin therapy, and the mechanistic plausibility for potential benefit provide a backdrop for investigating psilocybin therapy as a treatment for FM. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical benefit of oral psilocybin in concert with psychotherapy to treat chronic pain symptoms in patients with FM.

Therapeutic Educational Intervention and Fibromyalgia: a Mixed Methods Research

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is the most common central sensitivity syndrome and one of the principal causes of chronic widespread pain among the adult population worldwide. Recent studies indicated that poor sleep quality is highly prevalent and a troublesome symptom among patients with fibromyalgia. Psychosocial and behavioral factors have been demonstrated to be intimately related with the symptomatic experience of fibromyalgia patients. Pain catastrophizing and dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep are involved in the perpetuation of those symptoms and affecting other spheres of the syndrome Objective: The aim of this project is to evaluate the cognitive and behavioral factors related with pain and poor sleep quality in women diagnosed with fibromyalgia so as to develop and test the effects of a web-based therapeutic educational intervention about pain and sleep on pain intensity, pain catastrophizing, sleep quality, dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep, and quality of life and health status related with fibromyalgia Methods: A mixed methods research with sequential exploratory design will be applied. For the qualitative phase, a snowballing sampling technique will be used. The participants will be invited to participate in a personal semi-structured interview. For the quantitative phase a sample of 64 adult women with fibromyalgia will be recruited from primary care centers of the city of Lleida and randomized into either the intervention or the control group Discussion: There is an imperative necessity of taking patients' symptoms experience as essential for the development of effective symptom management strategies from a biopsychosocial perspective. In the era of the internet, our web-based therapeutic educational intervention could open a new window for the treatment of women with fibromyalgia as part of current FM management treatments in primary care. Our hypotheses are: Cognitive and behavioral factors related to pain and poor sleep quality in women diagnosed with fibromyalgia act as perpetuating factors and aggravate the general health status and the quality of life of these patients. A web-based therapeutic educational intervention about pain and poor sleep quality in women diagnosed with FM is better than the conventional approach for the treatment of pain intensity, pain catastrophizing, sleep quality, dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep, and general health status and quality of life-related with FM.
