Brief Summary:
This study analyse the effectiveness of a core stability training Physiotherapy programme versus Acupuncture treatment for the management of balance and functional capacity impairments of women with Fibromyalgia.
Detailed Description:
Objective:
This study investigated the effectiveness of a core stability training Physiotherapy programme versus Acupuncture for the management of balance and functional capacity impairments of women with Fibromyalgia.
Design:
A single-blind randomized clinical controlled trial.
Setting:
University of Extremadura and Olivenza Fibromyalgia Association, Spain
Subjects:
Women with Fibromyalgia and balance impairment.
Interventions:
135 Participants were randomized to a core stability training physiotherapy programme group (n=45), an acupuncture treatment group (n=45) and control group (n=45) for 13 weeks.
Main Measures:
Measures were taken at baseline (week 0), post intervention (week 6) and at follow up (week 13). The primary outcome measures were static balance (posturography) and dynamic balance and functional mobility (Berg Balance Test, Time Up and Go test and 10-metre walk) and functional capacity (Fibromyalgia Health Assessment Questionnaire (FHAQ) and the physical function item from the Spanish Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (SFIQ)).The secondary outcome measure were quality of life (Spanish- Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire), pain, joint stiffness, difficulty to work and depression (measured with the visual analogue scale).
