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 characterized by persistent widespread muscle pain with generalized 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 is associated with balance problems and increased fall frequency. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of an 8 weeks dance-movement therapy programme on balance, strength, flexibility and quality of life in patients with fibromyalgia.

Detailed Description

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

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition associated with balance problems and pain. It has been previously described that fibromyalgia may affect peripheral and/or central mechanisms of postural control. Balance or postural stability is a very complex task that involves the integration of multiple sensory inputs to execute appropriate neuromuscular activity needed to maintain balance.

Patients with fibromyalgia have also muscle weakness. Muscle strength depends on both the cross-sectional area of the muscle and the neural activity. Range of movement and quality of life have also been reported to be affected.

Experimental group

Patients with fibromyalgia included in a dance-movement therapy programme

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Dance-movement therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

The dance-movement was practised in groups. Dance-movement therapy derived from dance education. The goals of dance-movement therapy included assessing patient needs, communicating emotions, improving self-control, organizing thoughts and actions, developing interpersonal skills, integrating physical and emotional selves, promoting body awareness, and supporting healing.

Control group

Patients with fibromyalgia who receive a standardized educational information in the form of a leaflet about balance disorders and quality of life in fibromyalgia.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Control group

Intervention Type OTHER

Standardized educational information in the form of a leaflet about balance disorders and quality of life in fibromyalgia.
