Brief Summary

Our study was conducted to investigate the effect of scapular stabilization exercise training on cervical posture and pain in fibromyalgia. 59 patients aged 18-60 years were included in the study. The patients included in the study were diagnosed with fibromyalgia from the physical therapy outpatient clinic and individuals who did not have any other disease were included. The included individuals were divided into 2 groups by randomization method. Individuals were divided into scapula exercise therapy group (n=29) and classical exercise therapy group (n=30). Hotpack, tens and ultrasound applications were applied to both groups as conventional treatment before exercise. This protocol was applied to both groups for 6 weeks, 5 days a week. Following this protocol, classical shoulder exercises were given to the classical group and stabilization exercises were given to the scapular stabilization group. While the study designer applied the treatment, another designer applied the evaluation. The patients were evaluated for pain, cervical posture, functional status, and quality of life. pain was evaluated with a visual analog scale (vas), cervical posture was evaluated by tragus-wall distance, functional status was evaluated with fibromyalgia impact questionnaire and quality of life was evaluated with nottingam quality of life questionnaire. All evaluations were performed twice before and at the end of the treatment (6 weeks).

Conditions

Fibromyalgia; Exercise, Compulsive; Pain; Postural; Defect

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• visual analog scale ( VAS)

  pain, This scale evaluates pain verbally. It questions the level of pain to the patients. It is between 0 and 10 points. O No pain, 10 means severe pain.

  6 weeks

• tragus-to-wall distance

  cervical posture, This scale measures the cervical posture, the distance between the wall and the tragus in cm. The results vary from person to person, and increasing distance indicates that cervical posture has a poor prognosis.

  6 weeks

• fibromyalgia impact scale

  functional status, This scale evaluates functional status. verbally questioned. scale type is survey. The questions asked are asked to give points between 0 and 3. 0 points always means 1 point often, 2 points sometimes, and 3 points never. activity, doing business, and well-being. It is stated that a high score does not affect the functional state of the disease, while a low score indicates that the disease affects the functional state. The total score range is between 0 points and 80 points.

  6 weeks

• Nottingham Health Profile

  life quality,This scale evaluates quality of life. questions patients' problems with pain, social isolation, emotional reaction, physical activity, energy, and sleep. scale type is survey. Patients are asked and their answers are recorded. answers are yes or no. The total score scale is in 2 parts. The 1 section score range is between 0 and 600 points, and the 2nd section is between 0 and 7 points. A high score indicates that the quality of life is badly affected, while a low score indicates that the quality of life is not affected.
