简要总结
the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of core exercises on health status, pain, pressure pain thresholds and functional capacity in patients with FM
详细描述
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic non-degenerative disease of unknown etiology without effective medical treatment that mostly affects women. At present, the diagnostic and classification criteria are still under debate. As a result, the treatments for FM are also under investigation. No single treatment has achieved a reduction in the symptoms. Its occurrence increases with age. Exercise is one of the treatment approaches where effectiveness in the management of FM is supported by stronger evidence. Besides, recent reviews found that exercise has a positive effect on pain, physical function and health-related quality of life .with no associated adverse effects. Among the different exercise modalities available, core stability training has shown its effectiveness by improving static and dynamic balance, functionality and risk of falls, pain and quality of life. so This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of core exercises on health status, pain, pressure pain thresholds and functional capacity in patients with FM
