Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Fibromyalgia is a chronic illness characterised by persistent,widespread muscle pain with generalised hyperalgesia and allodynia. It can be accompanied by other concomitant symptoms like fatigue, sleep disturbances, musculoskeletal disorders, distress and psychological disorders. This condition is very prevalent. It has been reported to be about 2-5% of the general global population.

Fibromyalgia have been reported to have neurodynamic disorders. The purpose of this prospective study was to examine the combined effects of soft tissue mobilization and nerve slider neurodynamic technique on pain and pressure sensitivity in women with fibromyalgia.

Detailed Description

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

Fibromyalgia affects women nine times more than men.The pathophysiology of fibromyalgia is being studied nowadays in order to understand the mechanisms implicated in it.

The treatment propose in this study is a neurodynamic intervention. Neurodynamics is the term used to describe the integration of the morphology, biomechanics and physiology of the nervous system.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Placebo group

35 women are recruited in order to the inclusion criteria for the study. Placebo controlled. They received only standard treatment without neurodynamic intervention. They are diagnosed with Fibromyalgia attending to the Fibromyalgia Association of Granada. The study include subjects who can complete the assessment battery of tests at the beginning and end.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo group

Intervention Type OTHER

Women in this group realized standard treatment in the Fibromyalgia Association without neurodynamic techniques.

Neurodynamic technique group

35 women are recruited, diagnosed with Fibromyalgia attending to the Fibromyalgia Association of Granada. The study include subjects who can complete the assessment battery of tests at the beginning and at the end.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Neurodynamic technique group

Intervention Type OTHER

Neurodynamic techniques are used in order to move most of the nerves between the neck and hand, including the median nerve, radial and ulnar, brachial plexus, spinal nerves and cervical nerve roots.

The patient is placed supine position. The treatment will be carry out 3 times per week during 8 weeks.
