简要总结
the study was done to investigate the effect of Electrical Muscle Stimulation as muscle strengthening versus the effect of myofascial releasing on quality of life in female fibromyalgia patients while following Mediterranean diet.
详细描述
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition characterized by unrefreshing sleep, physical exhaustion, and cognitive difficulties. It affects all populations worldwide and requires a diagnosis of widespread pain for at least three months. People with Fibromyalgia show abnormal endogenous pain modulation, including reduced conditioned pain modulation and exercise-induced hypoalgesia. Exercise is considered a first-line treatment for Fibromyalgia. Electrical myostimulation has been shown to improve pain, sleep subscales, and quality of life. A potential causal link between Fibromyalgia and micronutrient deficiency has been suggested. The study focuses on fibromyalgia, which affects mostly females and is difficult to diagnose easily. Electrical myostimulation and myofascial release are effective treatments for Fibromyalgia.

结局指标
主要结局
Assessment of change of body mass index
时间窗: at baseline and after 6 weeks
to measure body weight and height to calculate BMI for characterizing the sample.
Assessment of change of pressure pain threshold using algometry
时间窗: at baseline and after 6 weeks
Algometry is a useful tool for assessing central allodynia and hyperalgesia in FM and other pain conditions. It can provide insights into psychological factors influencing pain experience, new dynamic pain indicators, and neuroimaging techniques.
次要结局
- assessment of fibromyalgia using Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire(at baseline and after 6 weeks)
