Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an observational prospective cohort study, investigating short and long term results of physiotherapy applications in 20 female patients with fibromyalgia. Physical characteristics of the subjects were recorded. Intensity of pain, complaint of non-restorative sleep, and impact of fibromyalgia on functional activities were evaluated by visual analogue scales. All evaluations were performed before and after 20 sessions of treatment, which included connective tissue manipulation of the back daily, for a total of 20 sessions and combined ultrasound therapy of the upper back region every other session. One year follow-up evaluations could be performed on 14 subjects.
