简要总结
Introduction. Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease. The musculoskeletal system is affected in 90% of patients. The most common manifestations are myalgias, arthralgias and arthritis.
Objective. To analyse the efficacy of an intervention using myofascial techniques and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
Methods. Randomised clinical study with 20 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, randomised to an experimental and control group. The intervention will last 4 weeks, with a periodicity of 2 weekly sessions of 50 minutes each. The intervention of the experimental group will consist of a protocol using myofascial and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques.
Expected results. Improvement of knee and ankle pain intensity, functional capacity, basic mobility skills, strength, balance, agility and fatigue.

结局指标
主要结局
Change from baseline joint pain after treatment and at 4 weeks
时间窗: Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after four weeks follow-up visit
The intensity of knee and ankle pain shall be measured with the visual analogue scale. This instrument has an excellent test-retest reliability. This measurement scale consists of an unnumbered 10 cm line, where the patient is asked to indicate the perception of pain in the knee and ankle joints in the last week. The scale ranges from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain at all and 10 indicates maximum perceived pain.
次要结局
- Change from baseline joint pain after treatment and at 4 weeks(Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after four weeks follow-up visit)
- Change from baseline functionality after treatment and at 4 weeks(Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after four weeks follow-up visit)
- Change from baseline functional capacity after treatment and at 4 weeks(Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after four weeks follow-up visit)
