Brief Summary

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

A randomized trial of Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) is applied in fibromyalgia patients as compared with a control intervention consisting of stretching. Sessions of BBAT lasted 90 min each and took place twice a week form 12 weeks. The primary end point is a change in the biomarkers and neurotransmitters and the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire and the secondary end points include Visual Analog Scale, State Trait Anxiety inventory, Beck Depression Inventory. All assessments will be repeated at post treatment, 12 and 24 weeks and 1 year follow-up.

Detailed Description

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

This work is a clinical trial of randomized and controlled groups. The hypothesis of study is that BBAT applied in patients with fibromyalgia improves, more than stretching exercises, the pain, normalization biomarkers, improve in psychological state and quality life.

The study population will be selected followed the inclusion criteria of fibromyalgia, and will be selected in Consorci Sociosanitari of Anoia, the patients will be divided in 2 groups, control and treatment group. The groups will be examined at the begin, at 2 weeks, at the end of treatment and 3, 6 and 12 months follow-up.

The dependence measurements will be biomarkers serotonin, dopamine and cortisol, also Visual Analog Scale, State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI A/R), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) and Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ). The independence measurements will be demographic items: sex, age, country, level of studies, social status...

Basic Body Awareness Therapy

the Basic Body Awareness Therapy is usual therapy of physiotherapy in mental health in nord europe. BBAT is based in twelve movements and massage that improve the movements quality of patient, also improves other movement qualities like biomechanical, physiologic, socio-cultural and existential

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Basic Body Awareness Therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

The intervention will be twice a week during 12 weeks. It lasts 90 min of movements of daily life, massage and self-reflections.

Stretching group

Stretching exercise will be developed in control group in order to blind the intervention of interest. It will consist in analytic stretching of trunk, upper and lower limb.

It will last around 45 min twice a week during 12 weeks.
