ABSTRACT

Resumen Objetivo: El objetivo de esta revisión sistemática con metaanálisis es sintetizar la evidencia científica disponible sobre los efectos de la terapia manual aplicada de forma aislada en comparación a otras intervenciones en el dolor, la capacidad funcional, la impresión global de mejoría y severidad de síntomas autopercibida en personas con fibromialgia. Metodología: Se realizó una revisión sistemática y metaanálisis con búsqueda electrónica en MEDLINE, WoS, SCOPUS, PEDro, CENTRAL y LILACS. Resultados: Once estudios cumplieron con los criterios de selección y seis fueron incluidos en una síntesis cuantitativa. El dolor al terminar el tratamiento tuvo una diferencia de medias de -0.42 (IC al 95% -1.14, 0.30, p = 0.25), el estado funcional al terminar el tratamiento tuvo una diferencia de medias de -0.15 (IC al 95% -0.69, 0.40, p = 0.60), la impresión global de salud al terminar el tratamiento tuvo una diferencia de media de -1.13 (IC al 95% -1.68, -0.57 p = <0.00) y posterior a doce meses una diferencia de media de -0.48 (IC al 95% -0.78, -0.19 p = <0.00), la impresión global de severidad después de la intervención tuvo una diferencia de medias de -0.62 (IC al 95% -1.22, -0.03, p = 0.04) y posterior a doce meses una diferencia de medias de -0.43 (IC al 95% -1.18, 0.32, p = 0.26). Conclusiones: La terapia manual aislada es una intervención que podría mejorar significativamente la autopercepción del estado global de mejoría y severidad de síntomas a corto plazo en comparación a agentes físicos placebo. Sin embargo, no es mejor que otras intervenciones para disminuir el dolor y mejorar la capacidad funcional.


Abstract Objective: The aim of this systematic review with meta-analysis is to synthesize the available scientific evidence on the effects of manual therapy applied in isolation in comparison to other interventions on pain, functional capacity, global impression of improvement, and self-perceived severity of symptoms in people with fibromyalgia. Methodology: A systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted with electronic search of MEDLINE, WoS, SCOPUS, PEDro, CENTRAL, and LILACS. Results: Eleven studies met the selection criteria and six were included in a quantitative synthesis. Pain at the end of treatment had a mean difference of -0.42 (95% CI -1.14, 0.30, p = 0.25), functional status at the end of treatment had a mean difference of -0.15 (95% CI - 0.69, 0.40, p = 0.60), the global impression of health at the end of treatment had a mean difference of -1.13 (95% CI -1.68, -0.57 p = <0.00) and a mean difference of -0.48 after twelve months (95% CI -0.78, -0.19 p = <0.00), the global impression of severity after the intervention had a mean difference of -0.62 (95% CI -1.22, -0.03, p = 0.04 ) and a mean difference of -0.43 after twelve months (95% CI -1.18, 0.32, p = 0.26). Conclusions: Isolated manual therapy is an intervention that could significantly improve the self-perception of the global state of improvement and severity of symptoms in the short term compared to sham physical agents. However, it is not better than other interventions to reduce pain and improve functional capacity.

ABSTRACT

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, sleep disorders, and fatigue, all of which are associated with increased central sensitivity. Its global prevalence is estimated to be between 2% and 4%, with a rate of 2.6% in cases of non-cancer-related pain in Chile. Diagnosis is primarily based on clinical evaluation, with additional tests considered according to specific differential diagnoses. Although the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease are not yet fully understood, predisposing factors such as genetics, stress, nociplastic alterations, and cognitive-emotional changes have been identified. Treatment should be individualized and focus on four key pillars: patient education, lifestyle modifications, psychotherapy, and pharmacotherapy as a last resort. This literature review aims to address the approach that physicians, especially those in primary care, should adopt, as evidence suggests improved prognosis when care is provided in a comprehensive and multidisciplinary setting. Therefore, it is crucial that healthcare professionals are adequately prepared to ensure timely diagnosis and appropriate management in each case.


La fibromialgia es una enfermedad crónica caracterizada por dolor musculoesquelético generalizado, trastornos del sueño y fatiga, todos ellos asociados a una sensibilidad central aumentada. Se estima que su prevalencia global es del 2% al 4%, con una tasa del 2,6% en casos de dolor no relacionado con cáncer en Chile. El diagnóstico se basa principalmente en la evaluación clínica, con pruebas adicionales que deben considerarse según los diagnósticos diferenciales específicos. Aunque la etiología y patogénesis de la enfermedad aún no se comprenden completamente, se han identificado factores predisponentes como la genética, el estrés, las alteraciones nociplásticas y los cambios cognitivo-emocionales. El tratamiento debe ser individualizado y centrarse en cuatro pilares clave: educación del paciente, modificaciones en el estilo de vida, psicoterapia y farmacoterapia como último recurso. Esta revisión de la literatura tiene como objetivo abordar el enfoque que los médicos, especialmente aquellos en atención primaria, deben adoptar, ya que la evidencia sugiere una mejora en el pronóstico cuando se brinda atención en un entorno integral y multidisciplinario. Por lo tanto, es fundamental que los profesionales de la salud estén adecuadamente preparados para garantizar un diagnóstico oportuno y un manejo adecuado en cada caso.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: se considera la osteomielitis mandibular un proceso patológico poco frecuente. La mayor parte de los casos presentados involucran pacientes con osteorradionecrosis y aquellos pacientes con ingesta de algunos medicamentos antirresortivos. El objetivo es informar un caso inusual de una paciente con osteomielitis, perimplantitis y fractura vertical radicular con antecedentes de fibromialgia. Presentación del caso: mujer de 70 años de edad, no fumadora ni consumidora de alcohol, que acudió con un dolor posteroinferior izquierdo de un año de evolución. Presentaba una profundidad de son-deo mayor de 12 mm en el órgano dental (od) 37, sangrado a la palpación, dolor y movilidad grado ii. En el od 36 fue notoria la exposición clínica del tercio superior del implante dental, sin movilidad, con una profundidad de 4 mm. El tratamiento consistió en una exodoncia atraumática del od 37, donde se identificó una fractura radicular vertical. Discusión: actualmente, los implantes dentales permiten restablecer la salud bucodental. Sin embargo, ellos también pueden inducir una osteomielitis en los maxilares. La terapia instaurada redujo ostensiblemente la morbilidad del implante dental implicado y regeneró la zona intervenida.


Introduction: Mandibular osteomyelitis is considered a rare pathological process. Most of the cases pre-sented involve patients with osteoradionecrosis and those patients with intake of some antiresorptive drugs. The objective of this report is to report an unusual case of a patient with osteomyelitis, peri-im-plantitis and vertical root fracture with a history of fibromyalgia. Case presentation: A 70-year-old female patient, non-smoker or alcohol consumer, who presented with lower left postero-pain of one year's evolution. She presented a probing depth greater than 12 mm in dental organ (od) 37, bleeding on palpation, pain and grade II mobility. At the level of do 36, the clinical exposure of the upper third of the dental implant was notorious, without mobility, with a depth of 4 mm. The treatment consisted of an atraumatic extraction of do 37, where a vertical root fracture was identified. Discussion: Currently, dental implants make it possible to restore oral health. However, they can also induce osteomyelitis in the jaws. The established therapy ostensibly reduced the morbidity of the involved dental implant and regeneration of the intervened area

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:Exercise intervention is one of the main treatments for fibromyalgia,but there is no consistent conclusion on the choice of different exercise modalities.In this article,a network Meta-analysis was used to comprehensively and quantitatively evaluate the effects of different exercise modalities on fibromyalgia syndrome. METHODS:PubMed,EMbase,Scoups,The Cochrane Library,Web of Science,CNKI,WanFang Database,and China Biomedical Literature Database were searched for relevant literature,with a search timeframe from the establishment of each database to June 2023.The outcome indicators included five continuous variables,including fibromyalgia impact questionnaire-revised(FIQ)scores,visual analogue scale(VAS)scores,quality of life,quality of sleep,and depression.The Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool was used to evaluate the quality of the included literature.RevMan 5.4 software was used to perform effect sizes,subgroup analyses,and sensitivity analyses of the data.Stata 17 software was used to perform reticulation and network Meta-analysis of the data. RESULTS:A total of 13 articles with 14 randomized controlled trials were finally included.The overall methodological quality of the literature was high.The results of traditional Meta-analysis showed that,compared with the control group,exercise therapy significantly improved the FIQ score[standardized mean difference(SMD)=-0.67,95%confidence interval(CI):-0.83 to-0.50,P<0.01],VAS score(SMD=-0.72,95%CI:-0.90 to-0.54,P<0.01),quality of life(SMD=1.03,95%CI:0.45 to 1.61,P=0.000 5),sleep quality(SMD=-0.62,95%CI:-0.98 to-0.25,P=0.001),and depression(SMD=-0.63,95%CI:-1.09 to-0.18,P=0.007).Network Meta-analysis showed that the probability of optimal intervention effect of exercise modalities on FIQ scores was ranked as:mind-body exercise(86.5)>resistance exercise(70.5)>aerobic exercise(41.7);the probability of optimal intervention effect of exercise modalities on VAS scores was ranked as:resistance exercise(85.3)>mind-body exercise(74.3)>aerobic exercise(34.5). CONCLUSION:Exercise therapy significantly improves FIQ scores,VAS scores,quality of life,sleep quality,and depression in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome.Mind-body exercise and resistance exercise are the most effective exercise modalities to reduce FIQ scores and VAS scores in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the precipitating and aggravating factors in patients with fibromyalgia (FMS) compared to patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods:This study was conducted from January 2015 to November 2021, using a cross-sectional survey research method, based on references to develop a patient-reported "onset and exacerbation triggers questionnaire", and surveyed patients with FMS and RA at the same time, and counted the types and proportions of onset and exacerbation triggers in the two groups of patients and used the chi-square test to make comparisons between the groups.Results:A total of 415 patients with FMS and 200 patients with RA participated the survey. 146 patients with FMS (35.2%) and 38 patients with RA (19.0%) reported morbidity triggers. Experiencing physical injury (71, 17.1%), wind-cold/cold-dampness (30 patients, 7.2%), mental stress (26, 6.2%), and exercise fatigue (10 patients, 2.4%) were the common morbidity triggers for FMS. More FMS patients reported to have experienced physical injuries and mental stress before the onset of the disease compared to RA patients [8.2%(17/200), χ2=5.41, P=0.020; 1.5%(3/200), χ2=6.82, P=0.009]. Exacerbation triggers were reported by 319 patients with FMS (76.9%) and 137 patients with RA (68.5%), in the order of weather changes (219 patients, 52.7%), physical labor (192 patients, 46.2%), mood swings (147 patients, 35.4%), sleep deprivation (145 patients, 34.9%), and mental stress (130 patients, 31.3%). The proportion of FMS patients with symptom exacerbation due to physical labor [46.2%(192/415)], mood swings[35.4%(147/415)], sleep deprivation[34.9%(145/415)], mental stress[31.3%(130/415)], and infection [9.3%(39/415)] was significantly higher than that of RA patients [35.0%(70/200), χ2=7.00, P=0.008; 19.5%(39/200), χ2=16.22, P<0.001; 13.5%(27/200), χ2=30.79, P<0.001; 17.5%(35/200), χ2=13.14, P<0.001; 3.0%(6/200), χ2=8.15, P=0.004). Conclusion:More than a third of FMS patients reported precipitating factors, and nearly four fifths FMS patients reported at least one aggravating trigger. FMS patients are likely to be more sensitive to environmental changes and perceived stress than RA patients.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To diagnose fibromyalgia in patients with migraine and assess the quality of life of these patients. METHODS: A prospective, cross-sectional study was carried out, comparing groups, in a non-randomized sample, consisting of patients diagnosed with migraine. The sample was evaluated using the Widespread Pain Index (WPI) and Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) questionnaires to diagnose fibromyalgia. Quality of life and level of depression were assessed, respectively, using the Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). RESULTS: We interviewed 100 patients (5 men and 95 women) diagnosed with migraine, with a mean age of 37.1±11.0 years, ranging from 19 to 64 years. Thirty-four patients (34%) had migraine and fibromyalgia concomitantly. Migraine predominated in females, both in the presence and absence of fibromyalgia. In both groups, there was no difference in headache characteristics. In the group with fibromyalgia, there was a predominance of allodynia and a higher PHQ-9 score (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with migraine are more predisposed to depression when there is an association with fibromyalgia


OBJETIVO: Diagnosticar fibromialgia em pacientes com enxaqueca e avaliar a qualidade de vida desses pacientes. MÉTODOS: Foi realizado um estudo prospectivo, transversal, comparando grupos, em uma amostra não randomizada, composta por pacientes com diagnóstico de enxaqueca. A amostra foi avaliada por meio dos questionários Widespread Pain Index (WPI) e Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) para diagnóstico de fibromialgia. A qualidade de vida e o nível de depressão foram avaliados, respectivamente, por meio do Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6) e do Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). RESULTADOS: Foram entrevistados 100 pacientes (5 homens e 95 mulheres) com diagnóstico de enxaqueca, com idade média de 37,1±11,0 anos, variando de 19 a 64 anos. Trinta e quatro pacientes (34%) apresentavam enxaqueca e fibromialgia concomitantemente. A enxaqueca predominou no sexo feminino, tanto na presença como na ausência de fibromialgia. Em ambos os grupos, não houve diferença nas características da dor de cabeça. No grupo com fibromialgia houve predomínio de alodinia e maior escore no PHQ-9 (p<0,001). CONCLUSÕES: Pacientes com enxaqueca estão mais predispostos à depressão quando há associação com fibromialgia

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the social representations of fibromyalgia based on its symptoms and their influences on diagnosis and therapy. Methods: Qualitative research with the application of the Theory of Social Representations and snowball sampling method. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 adults diagnosed with fibromyalgia in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between April 2020 and January 2021. Statistical and lexicographical analysis was performed using Alceste software. Results: Pain, as a subjective phenomenon, complicates its legitimacy, diagnosis, and therapy, enhancing suffering. Insufficient information generates judgments, stereotypes, and prejudices. Final Considerations: Stigmas, prejudices, the variety and invisibility of symptoms make it difficult to objectify the disease within the Cartesian-biomedical frameworks, generating diagnostic pilgrimage, mistakes, and challenges in treatment. Such representations hinder relationships and the management of the disease. Deconstructing them is a way to better care for those with fibromyalgia. Raising awareness and spreading qualified information are important allies.


RESUMEN Objetivo: Analizar las representaciones sociales de la fibromialgia basadas en sus síntomas y sus influencias en el diagnóstico y la terapia. Métodos: Investigación cualitativa con la aplicación de la Teoría de las Representaciones Sociales y método de muestreo en bola de nieve. Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas con 30 personas adultas, diagnosticadas con fibromialgia, en la ciudad de Río de Janeiro, Brasil, entre abril de 2020 y enero de 2021. Se llevó a cabo un análisis estadístico y lexicográfico mediante el software Alceste. Resultados: El dolor, como fenómeno subjetivo, dificulta su legitimidad, el diagnóstico y la terapia, intensificando el sufrimiento. La información insuficiente genera juicios, estereotipos y prejuicios. Consideraciones finales: Los estigmas, prejuicios, la variedad y la invisibilidad sintomática dificultan la objetivación de la enfermedad en los modelos cartesianos-biomédicos, generando una peregrinación diagnóstica, errores y desafíos en el tratamiento. Tales representaciones obstaculizan las relaciones y el manejo de la enfermedad. Desconstruirlas es un camino para mejorar el cuidado de quienes tienen fibromialgia. Sensibilizar a las personas y difundir información cualificada son aliados importantes.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain that is associated with sleep, emotional, and cognitive disturbances, including in executive functions (EFs). Objective To investigate the relationship between EFs and functionality in women with FM. Methods The study included 17 women with FM, aged between 30 and 59 years, with no history of neurological disease. The EFs were assessed using the Digit Span Subtest (DS), Five Digit Test, Trail Making Test (TMT), Corsi Block-Tapping Task, Hayling Test (HT), and Verbal Fluency Task. Functionality was evaluated through the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire. The Beck Depression Inventory, Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, and Brief Pain Inventory were used to measure depression, anxiety, and pain, which were controlled in the statistical analyses. Results The FM patients showed longer response latency on the HT and TMT. They made fewer errors on part B of the HT, and they performed worse on the DS backward and on the Corsi Block-Tapping Task forward and backward. There were moderate correlations in the expected direction between performance on the Corsi Block-Tapping Task backward and interference at work, as well as between the time to complete part B of the Trail Making Test - B (TMT-B) and fatigue. An unexpected relationship was found between errors on part B of the HT and interference at work. Conclusion The results suggest lower efficiency in processes such as inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility, difficulties in working memory and non-executive processes such as processing speed. Even with pain, anxiety, and depression controlled, some relationships between EFs and functionality were observed, indicating that these symptoms do not fully explain this relationship. We suggest that cognition, particularly EFs, and broader measures of functionality be considered in the evaluation of FM.


Resumen Antecedentes A fibromialgia (FM) é uma condição crônica caracterizada por dor generalizada, associada a distúrbios do sono, emocionais e cognitivos, entre os quais os das funções executivas (FEs). Objetivo Investigar a relação entre FEs e funcionalidade em mulheres com FM. Métodos O estudo incluiu 17 mulheres com FM, com idades entre 30 e 59 anos, sem histórico de doença neurológica. Para a avaliação das FEs, utilizou-se Subteste de Span de Dígitos (SD), o Teste dos Cinco dígitos, o Teste de Trilhas (TT), Tarefa dos Cubos de Corsi, O Teste de Hayling (TH), e a Tarefa de Fluência Verbal. A funcionalidade foi avaliada pelo Questionário de Impacto da Fibromialgia. O Inventário de Depressão de Beck, a Escala de Ansiedade Hamilton e o Inventário Breve de Dor foram usados para mensurar depressão, ansiedade e dor, que foram controladas nas análises estatísticas. Resultados Pacientes com FM apresentaram maior latência de resposta na TH e no TT. Elas cometeram menos erros na parte B da TH, e tiveram pior desempenho no SD em ordem inversa e na Tarefa dos Cubos de Corsi nas ordens direta e inversa. Houve relações moderadas, na direção esperada, entre a Tarefa dos Cubos de Corsi na ordem inversa e interferência no trabalho, assim como entre tempo até completar a parte B do Teste de Trilhas (TT) e fadiga. Encontrou-se uma relação inesperada entre erros na parte B da TH e interferência no trabalho. Conclusão Os resultados sugerem menor eficiência em processos como controle inibitório e flexibilidade cognitiva, dificuldades na memória de trabalho e em processos não executivos, como velocidade de processamento. Mesmo com controle da dor, da ansiedade e da depressão, houve algumas relações entre FEs e funcionalidade, o que indica que esses sintomas não explicam completamente essa relação. Sugere-se considerar a cognição, particularmente as FEs, e medidas mais abrangentes de funcionalidade na avaliação da FM.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the knowledge about fibromyalgia of people with this diagnosis and its repercussions in coping with the disease. Method: Qualitative research, based on the Social Representation Theory framework. Thirty people over 18 years old and from the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, participated. Snowball sampling was applied to recruit participants and a semi-structured interview was used to produce data, between April 2020 and January 2021. Statistical and lexicographic analysis was performed using Alceste. Results: Most participants were women (93%); aged 41 to 60 years old (67%); of whom 63% were married; had been diagnosed 10 years ago or more (40%); and 40% participated in support groups. They did not know the name of the disease and its causes, but they mentioned its symptoms, mainly pain. Objectification of fibromyalgia occurs in painful symptoms and the lack of signs in the body generates misunderstanding among the people they live with. They share experiences in support groups to cope with the disease. Conclusion: The subjective phenomenon of pain generates distrust about the disease. Diagnosis difficulties delay treatment and insufficient information generates judgments and stereotypes for patients. Prejudices and rejections have repercussions on coping with the disease.


RESUMEN Objetivo: Analizar el conocimiento sobre fibromialgia de personas con este diagnóstico y sus repercusiones en el afrontamiento de la enfermedad. Método: Investigación cualitativa, basada en el marco de la Teoría de la Representación Social. Participaron 30 personas mayores de 18 años, del estado de Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Se aplicó un muestreo de bola de nieve para reclutar participantes y se utilizó una entrevista semiestructurada para producir datos, entre abril de 2020 y enero de 2021. El análisis estadístico y lexicográfico fue realizado por Alceste. Resultados: La participación mayoritaria fue de mujeres (93%); de 41 a 60 años (67%); el 63% estaban casados; diagnosticado hace 10 años o más (40%); el 40% participó en grupos de apoyo. Desconocían el nombre de la enfermedad y sus causas, pero citaban sus síntomas, principalmente dolor. La objetivación de la fibromialgia se produce en los síntomas dolorosos y la falta de señales en el cuerpo genera incomprensión en las personas con las que se convive. Comparten experiencias en grupos de apoyo para afrontar la enfermedad. Conclusión: El fenómeno subjetivo del dolor genera desconfianza sobre la enfermedad. Las dificultades de diagnóstico retrasan el tratamiento y la información insuficiente genera prejuicios y estereotipos en los pacientes. Los daños y rechazos repercuten en el afrontamiento de la enfermedad.


RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar os saberes sobre a fibromialgia de pessoas com este diagnóstico e suas repercussões no enfrentamento da doença. Método: Pesquisa qualitativa amparada no referencial da Teoria das Representações Sociais. Participaram 30 pessoas acima de 18 anos, do estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Aplicou-se snowball sampling para recrutar os participantes e entrevista semiestruturada para produção de dados, entre abril de 2020 e janeiro de 2021. Realizou-se análise estatística e lexicográfica pelo Alceste. Resultados: A participação majoritária foi de mulheres (93%); idade de 41 a 60 anos (67%); 63% eram casados; com diagnóstico há 10 anos ou mais (40%); 40% participavam em grupos de apoio. Desconheciam o nome da enfermidade e suas causas, mas citaram os seus sintomas, majoritariamente a dor. A objetivação da fibromialgia ocorre nos sintomas dolorosos, por sua vez, a falta de sinais no corpo gera incompreensão nas pessoas com as quais se convive. Compartilham experiências em grupos de apoio para enfrentar a doença. Conclusão: O fenômeno subjetivo da dor gera desconfiança quanto à enfermidade. As dificuldades do diagnóstico retardam o tratamento, e a insuficiência de informações gera julgamentos e estereótipos para os doentes. Os preconceitos e rechaços repercutem no enfrentamento da doença.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La fibromialgia afecta el movimiento corporal. Provoca dolor en puntos claves, causa molestias musculoesqueléticas y limita la actividad de las personas. Se ha descrito que la fisioterapia mejora de calidad de vida de estos pacientes. Objetivo: Identificar los test de evaluación y los procesos de intervención fisioterapéutica utilizados en la fibromialgia. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión de literatura en PubMed, ScientsDirect, SciELO y LILLACS, con la terminología MeSH y DeCS, entre 2017 y 2022. Resultados: La escala visual análoga y la algometría por presión son los test utilizados para el dolor. La hidroterapia, el cupping, la punción seca, el masaje sueco, los ejercicios respiratorios y los aeróbicos resultan los métodos de intervención con más uso. Conclusiones: Los procesos de intervención se deben plantear según las evaluaciones del dolor y la funcionalidad en la persona. El tratamiento fisioterapéutico de la fibromialgia debe tener un componente de ejercicio físico aérobico y fuerza para disminuir la fatiga; devolverle al músculo su funcionalidad y aumentar la capacidad aeróbica(AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is characterized by different factors, such as chronic diffuse muscle pain (CDMP), fatigue and psycho-emotional changes. Among the animal models that mimic FMS, the acid saline model is consolidated in the development and maintenance of CDMP. Resistance training (RT) has been an effective method for reducing pain in FMS. Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of resistance training on nociceptive and motor responses in an animal model of chronic diffuse muscular pain. METHODS: Twenty-four male Wistar rats were allocated into four groups: resistance training, RT control, amitriptyline (AMITRIP) and AMITRIP control; all treatment protocols lasted 4 weeks. CDMP was induced in all mice. Then, the animals were treated with low-intensity RT (40% 1 maximum repetition) and AMITRIP (10 mg/kg/day). The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold, locomotor activity and muscle strength were evaluated. RESULTS: Animals treated with both RT and AMITRIP showed an increase in the mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (p<0.05) compared to their controls, suggesting a reduction in mechanical hyperalgesia. There was no improvement in locomotor activity in all groups (p>0.05). Animals with CDMP that underwent RT showed an increase in hindlimb muscle strength (p<0.0001) compared to the RT control group. CONCLUSION: Low-intensity resistance training resulted in antihyperalgesic effects and improved muscle strength in animals submitted to the CDMP model.


RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A síndrome da fibromialgia (SFM) é caracterizada por diferentes fatores, como dor crônica muscular difusa (DCMD), fadiga e alterações psicoemocionais. Dentre os modelos animais que mimetizam a SFM, o modelo de salina ácida é consolidado no desenvolvimento e na manutenção da DCMD. O treinamento resistido (TR) tem sido um método eficaz para redução da dor na SFM. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar os efeitos do TR na resposta nociceptiva e motora em modelo animal de dor crônica muscular difusa. MÉTODOS: Vinte e quatro ratos machos Wistar foram alocados em quatro grupos: treinamento resistido (TR), controle do TR, amitriptilina (AMITRIP) e controle da AMITRIP, todos os protocolos de tratamento tiveram duração de 4 semanas. A DCMD foi induzida em todos os ratos. Em seguida, os animais foram tratados com TR de baixa intensidade (40% 1 repetição máxima) e AMITRIP (10 mg/kg/dia). Foram avaliados o limiar mecânico de retirada de pata, a atividade locomotora e a força muscular. RESULTADOS: Animais tratados tanto com TR quanto com AMITRIP apresentaram aumento do limiar mecânico de retirada de pata (p<0,05) em relação aos seus controles, sugerindo redução da hiperalgesia mecânica. Não foi observada melhora da atividade locomotora em todos os grupos (p>0,05). Animais com DCMD que realizaram TR obtiveram aumento da força muscular dos membros posteriores (p<0,0001) em comparação ao grupo controle do TR. CONCLUSÃO: Treinamento resistido de baixa intensidade resultou em efeitos anti-hiperalgésicos e melhora da força muscular em animais submetidos ao modelo de DCMD.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background The prevalence of pain in patients with multiple sclerosis is remarkable. Fibromyalgia has been considered as one of the forms of chronic pain encompassed in multiple sclerosis, but data are restricted to studies from Europe and North America. Objective To assess the prevalence of fibromyalgia in a series of Brazilian patients with multiple sclerosis and the characteristics of this comorbidity. Methods The present cross-sectional study included 60 consecutive adult patients with multiple sclerosis. Upon consent, participants underwent a thorough evaluation for disability, fatigue, quality of life, presence of fibromyalgia, depression, and anxiety. Results The prevalence of fibromyalgia was 11.7%, a figure similar to that observed in previous studies. Patients with the comorbidity exhibited worse scores on fatigue (median and interquartile range [IQR]: 68 [48-70] versus 39 [16.5-49]; p < 0.001), quality of life (mean ± standard deviation [SD]: 96.5 ± 35.9 versus 124.8 ± 28.8; p = 0.021), anxiety (mean ± SD: 22.7 ± 15.1 versus 13.8 ± 8.4; p = 0.021), and depression (median and IQR: 23 [6-28] versus 6 [3-12.5]; p = 0.034) indices than patients without fibromyalgia. There was a strong positive correlation between depression and anxiety scores with fatigue (r = 0.773 and r = 0.773, respectively; p < 0.001). Conversely, a moderate negative correlation appeared between the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), fatigue, and depression scores with quality of life (r= −0.587, r= −0.551, r= −0.502, respectively; p < 0.001). Conclusion Fibromyalgia is a comorbidity of multiple sclerosis that can enhance fatigue and decrease quality of life, although depression, anxiety, and disability are factors that can potentiate the impact of the comorbidity.


Resumo Antecedentes A prevalência de dor em pacientes com esclerose múltipla é significativa. A fibromialgia é considerada uma forma de dor crônica encontrada na esclerose múltipla, mas os dados são restritos a estudos europeus e da América do Norte. Objetivo Avaliar a prevalência de fibromialgia em uma série de pacientes com esclerose múltipla e as características desta comorbidade. Métodos O presente estudo transversal incluiu consecutivamente 60 pacientes adultos com esclerose múltipla. Após o consentimento, os participantes foram submetidos à avaliação para determinação de incapacidade, fadiga, qualidade de vida, presença de fibromialgia, depressão e ansiedade. Resultados A prevalência de fibromialgia foi de 11,7%, similar ao observado em estudos prévios. Pacientes com a comorbidade apresentaram piores escores de fadiga (mediana e intervalo interquartil [IIQ]: 68 [48-70] versus 39 [16,5-49]; p < 0,001], qualidade de vida (média ± desvio padrão [DP]: 96,5 ± 35,9 versus 124,8 ± 28,8; p = 0,021), ansiedade (média ± DP: 22,7 ± 15,1 versus 13,8 ± 8,4; p = 0,021) e depressão (mediana e IIQ: 23 (6-28) versus 6 (3-12,5); p = 0,034] do que pacientes sem fibromialgia. Houve correlação positiva forte dos escores de depressão e de ansiedade com a fadiga (r = 0,773 e r = 0,773, respectivamente; p < 0,001). Concomitantemente, houve correlação negativa moderada entre os escores de escala de estado de incapacidade expandida, fadiga e depressão com a qualidade de vida (r = - 0,587, r = - 0,551, r = - 0,502, respectivamente; p < 0,001). Conclusão A fibromialgia é uma comorbidade de esclerose múltipla que pode aumentar a fadiga e diminuir a qualidade de vida, embora depressão, ansiedade e incapacidade sejam fatores potencializadores dessa morbidade associada.

ABSTRACT

A fibromialgia é uma condição crônica de etiologia desconhecida e desvinculada de marcadores laboratoriais específicos para diagnóstico, devido à pobre caracterização da etiopatogenia. Em geral, as alterações comuns à fibromialgia também são observadas em outras condições de dor crônica, tornando a patogênese controversa entre diferentes condições patológicas. A etiologia desconhecida dificulta o diagnóstico e, consequentemente, repercute em um tratamento não tão eficaz de pacientes com fibromialgia. A restauração de desordens sistêmicas confere amplo espectro de possibilidades terapêuticas com potencial de orientar profissionais a estabelecer metas e métodos de avaliação. Diante disso, essa revisão narrativa se volta para debater hipóteses etiológicas e fisiopatológicas no desenvolvimento da fibromialgia.


Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition of unknown etiology unrelated to specific laboratory markers for diagnosis because of poor etiopathogenesis. In general, the changes common to fibromyalgia are also seen in other chronic pain conditions, making the pathogenesis controversial among different pathological conditions. The unknown etiology makes the diagnosis difficult and consequently has repercussions on a not so effective treatment of patients with fibromyalgia. The restoration of systemic disorders provides a wide spectrum of therapeutic possibilities with the potential to guide professionals in establishing goals and evaluation methods. Therefore, this narrative review discusses the etiological and pathophysiological hypotheses involved in the development of fibromyalgia.

ABSTRACT

Abstract BACKGROUND: The fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (FIQ) relates to the functional capacity, professional situation, psychological disorders, and physical symptoms, and can identify the factors that determine the impact of the syndrome and characteristics of its carriers; the higher the score, the greater the impact of fibromyalgia on the quality of life. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of fibromyalgia on the quality of life of individuals with fibromyalgia, who were categorized according to the FIQ during the coronavirus disease pandemic. DESIGN AND SETTING: A cross-sectional study was conducted at an institution of higher education in Taquara, RS, Brazil. METHODS: A quantitative study was carried out, with the application of a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, and the FIQ in 163 Brazilian individuals with a medical diagnosis of fibromyalgia. Data were collected using SurveyMonkey software. RESULTS: Of the female carriers, 98.2% were living in urban areas, working, and under pharmacological and complementary treatment. The FIQ results showed that seven of the 10 items had the maximum score. The items "physical function" and "feel good" had intermediate scores, and the item "missed work" had a low score. The average total score was 79.9 points, indicating that fibromyalgia had a severe impact on the participants' lives. A severe impact of fibromyalgia was observed in 61.3% of the participants, a moderate impact in 30.7%, and a low impact in 8%. CONCLUSION: The survey findings suggest a severe impact in the majority of the Brazilian fibromyalgic population.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Studies have suggested using thermography as a resource to diagnose fibromyalgia, although there has been no evidence confirming this hypothesis so far. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of computerized infrared thermography as an auxiliary method for diagnosing fibromyalgia. METHODS: It is a diagnostic accuracy studywith cross-sectional design. One hundred and three individuals were evaluated for global pain using the Visual Analogue Scale. The measurement of pain at tender points was assessed by algometry, and skin temperature was assessed by thermography. To evaluate sensitivity and specificity, the analysis was performed using the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve, measured by the area under the curve with their respective confidence intervals. RESULTS: Thermography has not been very sensitive or specific for pain (tender points) and diagnosis of fibromyalgia, according to the evaluation of the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve, with an area under the curve equal to or lower than 0.75. CONCLUSION: In this study the thermography was not sensitive and specific as a tool for diagnosing the fibromyalgia syndrome. This study highlights important clinical implications concerning the current methods for diagnosing it, which, despite all efforts, are still subjective and poorly reproducible.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Identifying pain sites is essential to managing patients with Widespread Pain. Several instruments have been developed, including pain drawings, a grid system and computerized methods. However, it is not yet known whether the Widespread Pain Index matches an automated method (painMAP) for quantifying the number of pain areas. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the relationship between the Widespread Pain Index and the painMAP software to measure pain sites in participants with Widespread Pain. METHODS: A pre-planned secondary analysis of data collected from 311 patients with musculoskeletal pain was conducted. The Widespread Pain Index and the painMAP software assessed pain sites. Spearman's correlation coefficient investigated the correlation between the Widespread Pain Index and the painMAP software. RESULTS: A total of 98 participants with Widespread Pain were included in this study. Most participants were female (67; 83.7%), with a mean age of 57,7±11,5 years, mean height of 1.6 (0.1) meters and mean weight of 73.2 (11.8) kilograms. The mean pain intensity was 6.7 (2.0), and the pain duration was 92.3 (96.3) months. The mean number of pain sites in the Widespread Pain Index was 10.1 (3.7), and in the painMAP software, it was 11.7 (8.8). A weak positive correlation (rho = 0.26, 95% CI 0.45 to 0.04, p = 0.022) between the Widespread Pain Index and the painMAP software was found. CONCLUSION: The Widespread Pain Index and the painMAP software showed a weak correlation for assessing pain sites in participants with Widespread Pain.

Vários instrumentos foram desenvolvidos, incluindo desenhos de dor, um sistema de grade e métodos computadorizados. No entanto, ainda não se sabe se o Índice de Dor Espalhada coincide com um método automatizado (painMAP) para quantificar o número de áreas de dor. Portanto, este estudo teve como objetivo identificar a relação entre o Índice de Dor Espalhada e o painMAP para medir as áreas doloridas em participantes com esse quadro de dor. MÉTODOS: Uma análise secundária pré-planejada de dados coletados de 311 pacientes com dor musculoesquelética foi realizada. O Índice de Dor Espalhada e o painMAP avaliaram as áreas de dor. O coeficiente de correlação de Spearman foi utilizado para investigar a correlação entre o Índice de Dor Espalhada e o software painMAP. RESULTADOS: Um total de 98 participantes com Dor Espalhada foram incluídos neste estudo. A maioria dos participantes era do sexo feminino (67;83,7%), com média de idade de 57,7±11,5 anos, média de altura de 1,6 (0,1) metros e média de peso de 73,2 (11,8) quilogramas. A média de intensidade da dor foi de 6,7 (2,0) e da duração da dor de 92,3 (96,3) meses. O número médio de áreas de dor no Índice de Dor Espalhada foi de 10,1(3,7) e no software painMAP foi de 11,7 (8,8). Uma correlação positiva fraca (rho=0,26, IC de 95% 0,45-0,04, p=0,022) entre o Índice de Dor Espalhada e o painMAP foi encontrada. CONCLUSÃO: O Índice de Dor Espalhada e o painMAP mostraram correlação positiva fraca para avaliar as áreas de dor em participantes com dor espalhada.

ABSTRACT

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), also known as fibromyalgia, is clinically characterized by diffuse chronic muscle and bone pain, accompanied by fatigue, sleep disturbances, depressive episodes, and cognitive and intestinal dysfunction. Due to lack of clear specific laboratory indicators and appropriate imaging examinations, FMS diagnosis is mostly based on clinical symptoms, but FMS clinical symptoms of lack specificity, and current clinical diagnostic criteria are mostly exclusive criteria, which is prone to missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. In order to further promote the standardized diagnosis and treatment of FMS, this paper makes extensive references to laboratory-related diagnostic indexes of FMS (Tau, adiponectin, serum cathepsin S, cystatin C, serum ferritin, nitric oxide, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, platelet distribution width and mean platelet volume) at home and abroad, aiming to provide new ideas for early diagnosis and intervention of FMS.
