简要总结
This study aimed to investigate the effects of thoracic chiropractic manipulations on pain intensity, depression levels, sleep, and quality of life in women diagnosed with fibromyalgia. The research included 50 female participants aged 25-45 who had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia between 2022 and 2023 at Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Education and Research Hospital. The participants were randomly divided into two groups: a chiropractic treatment group and a control group. Both groups completed pre-treatment assessments using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Short Form 36 (SF-36). The chiropractic treatment group received thoracic chiropractic manipulations (HVLA) twice a week for a total of six sessions over three weeks, while the control group received sham manipulations. A week after the final session, all participants completed the assessments again.

结局指标
主要结局
VİSUAL PAİN SCALE
时间窗: before the treatment and one week after the treatment.
he "Visual Pain Scale" is a method used to assess and quantify pain intensity through a visual representation. It typically consists of a line or numerical scale accompanied by descriptive labels or facial expressions that reflect different levels of pain severity. Participants are asked to point to or select the position on the scale that best corresponds to their perceived level of pain.
次要结局
- Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(before the treatment and one week after the treatment.)
- Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)(before the treatment and one week after the treatment.)
- Short Form-36(before the treatment and one week after the treatment.)
