• 1 other identifier: core exercise for fibromyalgia
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 52

Brief Summary

the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of core exercises on health status, pain, pressure pain thresholds and functional capacity in patients with FM

Conditions

Fibromyalgia

Keywords

fibromyalgia syndrome; core exercise; aerobic exercise; pressure pain threshold

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• pressure pain thresholds

  pressure algometer will be used for assessment of pressure pain threshold

  up to 8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• pain intensity

  up to 8 weeks

• health status

  up to 8 weeks

• function state

  up to 8 weeks

Study Arms (1)

core exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

the patients will receive seven core exercises two times a week for eight weeks

Other: core exercise; Other: traditional therapy

Interventions

core exercise OTHER

the patients will receive seven exercises performed in crook lying and side lying position on exercise mats. Cushions were used to allow the participants to be comfortable in all positions. The exercises in the crook lying position were core activation with breathing, single-leg lift with knees bent, single-leg slides, bridging and knee drop sideways. The exercises completed in side lying included hip external rotation with knees bent and hip abduction with knees straight.

core exercise

traditional therapy OTHER

the patients will receive : an active warm-up including low intensity movements and dynamic stretching; choreographed aerobic training, progressing gradually from low to moderate intensity; and a cool-down involving low intensity movements, and dynamic and static stretching

Also known as: aerobic exercise
