Full textIntroduction: Fibromyalgia is defined as a chronic pain syndrome, which manifests itself in the musculoskeletal system through widespread pain and multiple anatomical tender points detectable on physical examination. It is often associated with non-restorative sleep, fatigue, cognitive disturbances and mood swings. Its prevalence stands at 3.6% in the Portuguese population. Many cases may be undiagnosed, and many patients remain in a diagnostic uncertainty for several months or years. Goals: The goal of the present study is to characterize the difficulties experienced in the diagnosis of fibromyalgia, to quantify the delay occurring in the definition of the diagnosis and to know the procedure after the diagnosis by general practice doctors. Methods: During the months of January 2010 to February 2012 was applied a questionnaire to general practice doctors, a total of 257 physicians, with questions that addressed: variables for the characterization of the sample; variables designed to capture the knowledge of the pathology as well as its diagnostic difficulty; variables designed to assess the delay in defining the diagnosis of fibromyalgia; variables related to the procedure after the definition of the diagnosis (treatment and/or referral to other specialties). 100 forms were distributed, of which 56 were filled and counted. Results: The perception that fibromyalgia represents an entity difficult to define was reported by 91% of the physicians; 81% felt difficulties in diagnosis, and 28.2% pointed out the difficulty in differential diagnosis. The average delay of diagnosis was 12.3 months. For the medical procedure after diagnosis, 39% of the surveyed treat and/or refer the patient to other specialties, 22% treat them, and 39% refer to other specialties, mostly to Rheumatology (63 %). Conclusions: The average delay of diagnosis was 12.3 months, with standard deviation of 4.943. Physicians recognize that there should be a reduction in the time to make the diagnosis, and they point some suggestions: greater accessibility to specialist referral; development of training programs to health professionals, namely doctors from general practice.

Full textA fibromialgia é uma doença crónica do foro músculo-esquelético com origem ainda desconhecida. Esta doença pode apresentar vários sintomas como dor, fadiga, alterações de comportamento, ansiedade, depressão, alteração do sono, por exemplo. O diagnóstico desta doença nem sempre é fácil porque os sintomas relatados pelos doentes são muitas vezes característicos de outras doenças, podendo levar a um diagnóstico errado. O tratamento da doença é sintomático com objectivo de diminuir todos os sintomas para que os doentes possam ter uma qualidade de vida melhor. São normalmente utilizados fármacos com actividade analgésica fraca ou forte consoante a intensidade da dor, antidepressivos, ansiolíticos, anticonvulsivantes e relaxantes musculares. A terapia farmacológica sozinha muitas vezes não é totalmente eficaz, havendo necessidade de recorrer a terapias alternativas como a acupunctura, prática de exercício físico, terapia usando laser, entre outras. Apesar de existirem alguns estudos sobre a fibromialgia, ainda há um longo caminho a percorrer para se entender completamente esta doença. Fibromyalgia is a chronic musculoskeletal disorders with unknown origin. This disease can have symptoms such as pain, fatigue, behavior changes, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, for example. The diagnosis of this disease is not always easy because the symptoms reported by patients are often characteristic of other diseases and may lead to misdiagnosis. Treatment of the disease is symptomatic with the aim of reducing all symptoms so that patients can have a better quality of life. Are commonly used drugs with analgesic activity weak or strong depending on the intensity of pain, antidepressants, anxiolytics, anticonvulsants and muscle relaxants. The pharmacological therapy alone is often not fully effective, no need to resort to alternative therapies such as acupuncture, physical exercise, using laser therapy, among others. Although there are some studies on fibromyalgia, there is still a long way to go to fully understand this disease.

Full textFibromyalgia is a chronic, widespread pain condition and difficult to treat, that has important prevalence in general population. Despite the musculoskeletal pain, the majority of people with FM also experience fatigue, sleep disorders, visceral pain, exercise intolerance and neurological symptoms. This syndrome is considered a functional syndrome because it is better characterized by its symptoms, suffering and disability rather than well seen organic structure impairment. A substantial literature has been produced in order to explain the pathophysiology of FM: researches on genetics, biogenic amines, neurotransmitter, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis hormones, oxidative stress, mechanisms of pain modulation, central sensitization and autonomic function in FM revealed various abnormalities indicating that multiple factors and mechanisms may be involved in the pathogenesis of FM. Fibromyalgia remains a controversial topic in clinical medicine. This paper considers some of the most significant contributions to the “fibromyalgia wars”, in recent times, emphasizing relevant data from biological, psychological and a social research. FM, regardless of the putative physiopathological mechanisms which determine its genesis or accompany its progression, can then be understood in the light of the social and psychological processes which characterize the phenomena of somatization and illness behaviour, as an idiom of distress and suffering which challenges the tenets of current clinical practice. The treatment of fybromyalgia consists of education, aerobic exercise, cognitive-behavioural therapy and medications (antidepressives, analgesics).

Full textIntroduction: Fibromyalgia is a syndrome of unknown etiology characterized by chronic widespread pain, chronic fatigue and sleep disturbances. It causes a significant negative impact on quality of life of individuals, which creates the need to increase the knowledge of this pathology in itself. It is a common clinical situation, but its prevalence is not well known. The purpose of this study is to estimate the prevalence of fibromyalgia in the district of Covilhã, and relate it with socio-cultural variables. This will allow identifying possible risk factors for the disease. Methods: From February to April 2011, the Portuguese version of the London Fibromyalgia Epidemiology Study Questionnaire (LFESSQ) was distributed to a convenience sample of 850 primary health care patients. For the questionnaire to be valid it was necessary that all fields were completed and the respondent was over 18 years. Patients were considered as positive cases if, according to the criteria of LFESSQ: (1) fulfilled only the four criteria of pain (Q-4), or (2) fulfilled both the four criteria of pain and the two criteria of fatigue (Q-6). The prevalence of fibromyalgia in the sample was determined by applying the positive predictive value of previously defined LFESSQ in Portugal for this survey. Results: From the 850 questionnaires distributed, 785 were considered valid. In the sample were identified 26.6% of patients that met the requirements of pain (Q-4) and 17.1% of pain and fatigue (Q-6). The estimated overall prevalence of fibromyalgia with the criteria Q-4 and Q-6 was 7.71% (95% CI 5.85 to 9.58) and 6.16% (95% CI 4.74 to7.84), respectively. A higher prevalence in both criteria was observed with increasing age and among females (Q-4:8.49% and Q-6: 6.88%) compared with males (Q-4: 5.86% and Q-6: 4.43%). The sociodemographic categories (marital status, residency, educational level and occupation) did not appear to affect the likelihood of having fibromyalgia. Conclusions: In this sample of primary health care patients the prevalence of fibromyalgia was significant (4,74%-9,58%), showing an association with female gender and aging.

Resumo: Desde as primeiras descrições da fibromialgia por GOWERS e STOCKMAN (1904) quando acreditavam na existência de processos inflamatórios exudativos nas fibras musculares, e os trabalhos de OSLER (1909) e HENCH (1936) que contrariavam estes achados, esta enfermidade vem até a atualidade sem uma compreensão clínica e fisiopatogênica definida. Não obstante a estas dificuldades, foram estudados 50 pacientes que apresentavam o diagnóstico clínico de fibromialgia, segundo os critérios de YUNUS et alii (1981), com os seguintes objetivos: 1- verificar a freqüência dos diversos sintomas clínicos neste grupo, comparando-os com o da literatura. 2-verificar a presença de sintomas depressivos no momento do exame clínico, através do questionário para a depressão de Beck. 3- verificar através dos exames laboratoriais (hemograma, hemossedimentação, glicema, fator reumatóide - prova do látex, fator anti-nuclear, eletroforese de proteínas sérica, transaminases (oxalacética e pirúvica) , creatino-fosfoquinase e desidrogenase lática) , a existência ou não de enfermidades concomitantes ou sinais de agressão inflamatória muscular. 4. verificar, através da eletromiografia, a existência ou não de sinais de denervação aguda ou crônica e/ou sinais de um processo miopático ou miosítico. Neste grupo houve um predomínio do sexo feminino (90%), faixa etária 30 a 60 anos (80%), cor branca (80%) e o tempo da doença - 093 - de até 90 meses (78%), estas freqüências estavam de acordo com a literatura. Todos os sintomas gerais, como aqueles agravados pela: atividade física, alteração do clima, ansiedade/estresse alteração do sono, fadiga, cefaléia crônica, síndrome do cólon irritável, turgor e dormência nas extremidades, encontravam-se com uma freqüência elevada se assemelhando aos da literatura, exceto os sintomas referentes ao cólon irritável encontrado somente em 4% dos pacientes. . A média de pontos doloridos (9,4 +/- 3,1 pontos) e a freqüência de acometimento das diversas regiões, estavam de acordo com a literatura, com um predomínio para as regiões lombar, cervical e ombros. Os sintomas depressivos, detectados em 50% dos pacientes, não foram suficientes para determinar uma maior sensibilidade dolorida e maior freqüência dos sintomas clínicos gerais. Os exames laboratoriais estavam normais, sem qualquer alteração que pudesse sugerir um envolvimento muscular inflamatório ou auto imune. A eletromiografia não demonstrou alterações elétricas como denervação, alterações miopáticas ou miosíticas, mas em 56~4% dos pacientes foi observado uma grande dificuldade para o relaxamento muscular, o que em parte dificulta a interpretação dos laudos da eletromiografia que sera objeto de estudos posteriores
Abstract: GOWERS & STOCKMAN (1904) till their first report, believed that fibromyalgia essentially consist in a muscles exudative inflammatory processo However OSLER (1909) and HENCH (1936) , were against to these ideas and from several reports concerning this diseases, till this moment it remain clinically and physiopathogenically unknow. To clarify some of those aspects we studied 50 patients with fibromyalgia according to the YUNUS et alI i (1981) criteria with the following objetives: 1. the frequency of several clinical symptoms in this group, comparing them with the literature; 2. antibodies, electrophoretic proteinogram, glutamic oxalacetic and glutamic pyruvic transaminasis, creatine kinase and latic desydrogenase, just to detect concomitant signs of an inflammatory muscles diseases; 4. to demonstrate acute or chronic signs denervation or miophatic muscles processes using electromyografic procedure. In this group we found prevalence of female with 90%. The average age was 30 to 60 years in 80% of the cases. Also 80% were white females with fibromyalgia at least for 90 months. This happenede with 7J% of the cases. These data seems to be similar to the li ter ature. the presence of a depressive symptoms together with fibromyalgia at the moment of the examination using the Beck depression questionaire; 3. to verify tests such as: erytrocyte sedimentation rate, blood count, latex fixation test, antinuclear AlI general symptoms, like those worsened by fhysical activities, weather changes, anxiety/stress sleep changes, fatigue, chronic headache, irritable bowel syndrome, subjective swelling and stifness at the extremeties, showed us a hight frequency such as that of literature, except for symptons concerning irritable bowel syndrome found in 4% of the patients. The average of aching points (9,4 +/- 3,1) as well as the frequency of envolvement in severa I anatomic parts, were according with the liter ature, with high incidence to the lumbar, cervical and shoulders regions. The depressive symptoms found in 50% of patients weren't enough to determinate a high painful sensibility and hight frequency of general clinical symptoms. The laboratorial test were normal without any signs suggestive of inflamatory muscles or auto immune diseases. The 'electromyografhic studies didn't show signs of denervation, myopathics or muscles inflamatqry alterations. However in 56,4% of patients we noted a large difficulty for the muscular relaxation, which could misenterpreted the electromyographic, and will be considered and studied futurely

Se incluyeron 110 mujeres con FM, 33 mujeres con Trastorno Depresivo sin FM y 50 mujeres controles sanas, de 35 a 55 años. Un 82.9% de las pacientes con FM referían quejas cognitivas. Los síntomas depresivos, la alteración en la memoria de trabajo y las limitaciones en las actividades de la vida diaria fueron variables predictivas de las quejas cognitivas. Las pacientes con FM mostraron un patrón de disfunción cognitiva en los dominios atencionales y ejecutivos, con problemas en la memoria a corto plazo, la memoria de trabajo, la atención sostenida, la impulsividad, la atención selectiva, la velocidad de procesamiento de la información, la inhibición cognitiva y la flexibilidad. Una gran parte de estas alteraciones se deben a los efectos de la depresión, aunque otra parte se explica por los efectos de la FM o por la interacción de ésta con la depresión.
The aim of this thesis was to study the neuropsychological performance in women with fibromyalgia (FM), and its relation with their cognitive complaints and with symptoms associated to the disease. We included 110 women with FM, 33 women with Depressive Disorder without FM and 50 healthy controls, from 35 to 55 years. 82.9% of patients with FM reported cognitive complaints. Depressive symptoms, impairment in working memory and disability in activities of daily living were predictive variables of cognitive complaints. Patients with FM showed a pattern of cognitive dysfunction in the attentional and executive domains, with impairment in short-term memory, working memory, sustained attention, impulsivity, selective attention, information processing speed, inhibition and cognitive flexibility. A large part of this impairment are due to the effects of depression, although another part is explained by the effects of FM or by the interaction of FM with depression.

Full textFibromyalgia is characterized by chronic widespread pain, disturbed sleep, fatigue and psychological distress. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of acupuncture as a treatment for this condition. Fifty-eight women diagnosed with fibromyalgia were randomly allocated to two groups. One group received acupuncture (n=34) twice a week for 20 sessions in addition to tricyclic antidepressants and exercises. The control group (n=24) received only tricyclic antidepressants and exercises. Patients rated their pain intensity using a visual analogue scale (VAS). A blinded assessor evaluated the number of fibromyalgia tender points (TePsN) and the pressure pain threshold over the 18 fibromyalgia tender points (PPT18). The same assessor also evaluated quality of life (QoL) using SF-36. These evaluations were done prior to treatments, at the end of the 20 sessions, and again at six months, one year and two years after the first evaluation. At the end of the 20 sessions, patients who had received acupuncture were significantly better than those who had not in all measures of pain (VAS, TePsN, PPT18) and in five subscales of SF-36. After six months, the acupuncture group was significantly better than the control group in some measures of pain (TePsN and PPT18) and in one subscale of SF-36. After one year, the acupuncture group showed significant advantage in only one subscale of SF-36; at two years there were no significant differences between the two groups on all outcome measures. The addition of acupuncture to usual treatment for fibromyalgia is beneficial for pain and quality of life, but only in the first six months.

Full textA Fibromialgia (FM) é uma síndrome dolorosa, crónica, na qual a Fisioterapia se tem revelado como parte integrante e efectiva do seu tratamento. De forma a promover uma prática de acordo com a evidência, foi efectuada uma revisão de estudos randomizados controlados, com o objectivo de demonstrar o papel da Fisioterapia no processo de reabilitação de pacientes com FM e determinar quais as modalidades terapêuticas que mais benefícios promovem em termos de diminuição da sintomatologia e impacto na qualidade de vida de pacientes com FM. Realizou-se uma pesquisa computadorizada na B-on, que permitiu identificar quinze estudos, dos quais três avaliaram o efeito de modalidades de electroterapia na reabilitação de pacientes com FM, seis referiam os benefícios da Hidroterapia na FM, dois centraram-se no exercício físico e quatro estudaram a aplicação de diferentes técnicas (Acupunctura, Pilates, Biofeedback e Massoterapia). Os estudos presentes nesta revisão demonstram o papel preponderante da Fisioterapia no tratamento da FM e sugerem que a Hidroterapia, através de sessões supervisionadas, regulares, duradouras e com intensidade baixa/moderada, é a modalidade que mais benefícios produz no tratamento de pacientes com FM; o laser e o exercício físico promovem resultados satisfatórios a curto prazo na diminuição da sintomatologia; outras técnicas como Acupunctura, Pilates, Biofeedback e Massoterapia poderão vir a ser auxiliares importantes no tratamento da sintomatologia da FM. Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic, painful syndrome having Physiotherapy proved to be effective as an integral part of its treatment. In order to promote an evidence-based practice, a review of randomized controlled trials was performed, in order to demonstrate the role of the Physiotherapy in the rehabilitation process of patients with FM and to determine which treatment modalities promote more benefits in terms of reducing the symptoms as well as their impact on the quality of life of patients with FM. A computerized search was performed on B-on, which identified fifteen trials. Three of these assessed the effect of electrotherapy modalities in the rehabilitation of FM patients, six reported the benefits of Hydrotherapy in FM, two focused on physical exercise and four studied the use of different techniques (Acupuncture, Pilates, Biofeedback and Massage Therapy). The trials included in this review demonstrate the important role of the Physiotherapy in the FM treatment and suggest that Hydrotherapy, through supervised, regular, long, low to moderate intensity sessions is the best modality in the treatment of FM patients; laser treatment and physical exercise both promote good results in symptoms reduction, in the short term; other techniques such as acupuncture, Pilates, Biofeedback and Massage Therapy could be important tools in treating symptoms of FM.

Full textFibromyalgia may be considered to be a rheumatic syndrome characterized by chronic pain, fatigue, sleep disorders, depression and painful, anatomically defined sites. Although the etiology and etiological factors are controversial, this syndrome affects preferentially women between 30 and 60 years old. The purpose for this study was to analyze the symptoms of the fibromyalgia and their correlation with the psychosomatic body unit, from an interdisciplinary point of view. It was a psychoanalytical study in which we have analyzed field diary and life history of three female patients from the Physical Therapy Clinic of the Military Police of Pernambuco Hospital. The Freudian literature helped us to distinguish our own psychoanalytic study line. In addition, we have used literary works from other contemporary authors, such as Paul-Laurent Assoun, Didier Anzieu, Juan-David Nasio and Maria Helena Fernandes. This study is part of the research called The Social and the Body Psychopathology, in which the goal is to analyze the circuit of the drive in the psycho diseases of the body related to a social-contemporary context; and it is linked to the Fundamental Psychopathological and Psychoanalysis Research Group of the Psychological Post-Graduation Program of the Catholic University of Pernambuco

Full textBACKGROUND Fibromyalgia (FM) is present in 20% of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. FM may overestimate RA disease activity score with 28 joints (DAS28) and impact disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD) treatment decision. Gray-scale 7-joint ultrasound score (US7) for synovial proliferation/effusion (US7-GS) and power Dopper for synovial vascularization (US7-PD) are objective measures of synovitis. OBJECTIVE To study the impact of FM in US7-GS and US7-PD among RA patients. METHODS This is a case-control study matched by RA duration and rheumatoid factor positivity, nested by a cohort of RA patients. Image scoring was blinded. Intra- and inter-rater kappa agreement coefficients with an experienced blinded external assessor were calculated. Spearman´s rank test correlation coefficients (rs) among DAS28, US7-GS and US7-PD were calculated. P values<0.05 were considered statistically significant (two-tailed). RESULTS Seventy two women aged 57.5 (49.3-66.8) years, with RA for 13 (6-19) years, in use of conventional (97%) and biologic DMARD (18%) were included: 36 with FM (cases) and 36 without FM (controls). DAS28 was greater among cases: 5.2 (4.3-6.3) vs. 4.0 (3.3-4.6), P<0.001. US7-GS and US7-PD were similar among cases and controls: 10.0 (7.0-11.0) vs. 9.0 (7.0-11.0), P=0.37 and 3.0 (1.0-5.8) vs. 4.0 (2.0-5.0), P=0.87, respectively. DAS28, US7-GS and US7-PD correlated in both groups (rs=0.35 to 0.39, P<0.05), except for DAS28 and US7-PD in the presence of FM (rs=0.12, P=0.50). CONCLUSION FM does not impact synovitis appraisal by US7-GS and US7-PD in RA patients. US7-PD may be better than US7-GS to identify RA patients with DAS28 overestimated by FM. Longitudinal studies with clinical and ultrasound-based scores as treatment targets are necessary to compare both methods accuracy and their effects on treatment value.

Se observa que las pacientes que son sometidas a un programa de 6 semanas consistente en ejercicio físico aeróbico y trabajo de amplitud de movimiento y relajación con suplementación de VMCC mejoran significativamente el dolor y la fatiga en comparación a pacientes que no son sometidas a ninguna terapia (grupo control), mientras que las pacientes sometidas al mismo programa de ejercicio físico convencional sin la suplementación de VMCC (grupo placebo) no modifican sus valores de dolor y fatiga de modo significativo con respecto a ninguno de los grupos. Existe además una tendencia hacia la mejora funcional (medida mediante el Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire) en el grupo con VMCC reales respecto al grupo control. La realización de ejercicios estáticos sobre una plataforma vibratoria disminuye la actividad EMG tras 6 semanas de exposición en pacientes con FM. Los niveles séricos de IGF1 ante la exposición aguda (durante una sesión) y crónica (durante 6 semanas) a VMCC no se modificaron en este estudio. Se concluye que las VMCC son un método seguro y efectivo para mejora la principal sintomatología de la enfermedad, pero no se encuentra una explicación fisiológica a estos resultados, sugiriéndose futuras investigaciones para determinar el mecanismo a través del cual esta modalidad de entrenamiento induce beneficios en pacientes con FM.

Full textThe present study is the result of a survey conducted in a Hospital, the Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Goiânia. What motivated the realization of this study was the demand on psychoanalytic clinic of patients diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and/or body aches and the few studies conducted thus far on the topic. This is a descriptive and exploratory study. The overall objective of the research was to understand the concept of body and the relationship between the psychic processes and somatic manifestation on the subject with fibromyalgia. The study is based primarily on Freudian psychoanalytic theory. We used the Method of Explanation of the Underlying Discourse, the MEUD in which semi-structured interview is the instrument for data collection. Thematic analysis of the data collected, according to ethical categories, those established from the theoretical review, before the implementation of the interviews, and the êmicas categories, these established from the content revealed in the interviews with the subjects of the research. The subjects who participated in the study were patients diagnosed as suffering from fibromyalgia syndrome met in Santa Casa de Misericórdia. The main results showed that such subjects have experienced in his childhood violence on the body, through sexual abuse and domestic violence. Equally striking the presence of the inhibition of aggression in these subjects and their difficulty of speech and appointment of affections. The results showed the presence of a concomitant traumatic etiology or prior to the emergence of pain and the experience of helplessness and distress experienced by them since childhood. Other features accented in subject of research were saluting their affections, an unsatisfactory sex life, the presence of Comorbidities and a paralyzing impotence. The results presented from the metapsychological perspective showed that the Fibromyalgia can appear as a symptom in psychosomatic structure or as a psychosomatic phenomenon in different clinical structures, neurosis or psychosis, as a subjective solution. This symptom can be related to important discharge sum of pulsions excitations in the body due to the precariousness of symbolic resources for the elaboration and symbolization of these pulsions, which fixate as symptoms that render in the body.
O presente estudo é resultado de uma pesquisa realizada em uma Instituição Hospitalar, a Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Goiânia. O que motivou a realização deste estudo foi a demanda crescente na clínica psicanalítica de pacientes diagnosticados com Fibromialgia e/ou dores no corpo e os poucos estudos realizados até o momento sobre o tema. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e exploratório. O objetivo geral da pesquisa consistiu em compreender o conceito de corpo e a relação entre os processos psíquicos e a manifestação somática no sujeito com fibromialgia. O estudo é fundamentado principalmente na teoria psicanalítica. Utilizou-se o Método de Explicitação do Discurso Subjacente, o MEDS, no qual a entrevista semi-estruturada é o instrumento para a coleta de dados. Foi realizada a análise temática dos dados coletados, segundo categorias éticas, aquelas estabelecidas a partir da revisão teórica, antes da aplicação das entrevistas, e das categorias êmicas, estas estabelecidas a partir dos conteúdos revelados nas entrevistas com os sujeitos da pesquisa. Os sujeitos que participaram do estudo foram pacientes diagnosticados como portadores da síndrome da fibromialgia atendidos na Santa Casa de Misericórdia. Os principais resultados apontaram que os sujeitos vivenciaram na infância a violência no corpo, por meio de abuso sexual e da violência doméstica. Mostraram a significativa presença da inibição da agressividade nestes sujeitos e a sua dificuldade de expressão e nomeação de afetos. Os resultados indicaram ainda, uma etiologia traumática concomitante ou anterior ao surgimento da dor e a experiência do desamparo e da angústia vividos por eles desde a infância. Outras características acentuadas nos sujeitos da pesquisa foram a continência de seus afetos, uma vida sexual insatisfatória, a presença de comorbidades e de uma impotência paralisante. Os resultados apresentaram, na perspectiva metapsicológica, que a fibromialgia pode comparecer como sintoma na estrutura psicossomática ou como um fenômeno psicossomático nas diferentes estruturas clínicas, neurose ou psicose, como uma solução subjetiva. Tal sintoma pode estar relacionado à descarga de importante soma de excitações pulsionais no corpo devido à precariedade de recursos simbólicos para a elaboração e simbolização dessas pulsões, que se fixam como sintomas que se processam no soma.

Full textFibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome that is associated with a variety of symptoms and subjective complaints, related to worsening and maintenance of pain. This complexity is not taken into account in an integrated way in the treatment models for chronic pain. Generally the interventions target an isolated aspect of pain, like the interpersonal function, a related cognitive distortion or the role of fear. The present study aims to construct a set of treatment goals for an integrative psychological intervention with Fibromyalgia. This endeavor was based on the real-life context of five patients with Fibromyalgia, though the reports and the experiences in a psychotherapy group. The participants were women between 45 and 52 years of age. The data were collected through semi-structured open interviews and recordings of the 12 sessions of psychotherapy. The interventions were based on the experiences that appeared in the group, guided by current trends in behavioral therapy. The data were submitted to inductive analysis, following the directives of grounded theory. The treatment goals that emerged from this work were then organized in five themes, namely: Interpersonal Experiences, Interpersonal Coping Strategies, Subjective Meanings, Negative Emotions, and Positive Emotions.
A Fibromialgia é uma síndrome dolorosa crônica que vem associada a uma variedade de sintomas e queixas subjetivas relacionadas à exacerbação e manutenção da dor. Esta complexidade não é levada em conta, de forma integrada, nos modelos de tratamento para dor crônica. Geralmente as intervenções tomam como alvo um aspecto isolado da dor, como a função interpessoal, a distorção cognitiva envolvida ou o papel do medo. Este estudo teve como objetivo construir um conjunto de alvos para um tratamento psicológico integrativo da Fibromialgia. Baseou-se para isso no contexto de vida de cinco portadoras de Fibromialgia, a partir dos relatos e das vivências das participantes durante uma psicoterapia de grupo. As participantes eram do sexo feminino com idade entre 45 e 52 anos. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas abertas semi-estruturadas e gravações das 12 sessões de psicoterapia. As intervenções foram baseadas nas vivências que surgiram no grupo e norteadas pelas tendências atuais da terapia comportamental. Os dados foram submetidos à análise indutiva seguindo os preceitos da Grounded Theory. Os alvos terapêuticos que emergiram deste trabalho foram agrupados em cinco temas, são eles: Vivências Interpessoais, Estratégias de Enfrentamento Interpessoal, Vivências Subjetivas, Emoções Negativas e Emoções Positivas.

Resumo: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os parâmetros cinemáticos e cinéticos da marcha e o desempenho funcional em mulheres com síndrome da fibromialgia (SFM) atendidas no Ambulatório de Reumatologia do Hospital de Clínicas da Universidade Federal do Paraná, Curitiba – PR. Participaram do estudo 16 mulheres com diagnóstico de SFM segundo os critérios do Colégio Americano de Reumatologia e 16 mulheres saudáveis pareadas pela idade e índice de massa corporal (IMC) compuseram o grupo controle saudável (CS). Avaliaram-se a intensidade dolorosa, qualidade de vida, nível de atividade física, massa corporal e estatura, força muscular dos membros inferiores (contração isométrica voluntária máxima, taxa de desenvolvimento de torque, torque), testes de avaliação funcional e análise cinemática e cinética da marcha (sistema optoeletrônico). A média de idade, IMC e CA foram similares. As pacientes com fibromialgia apresentaram capacidade funcional reduzida nos testes sentar e levantar e foot up and go (p<0,05). O grupo SFM apresentou menores valores para contração isométrica máxima nos músculos extensores do joelho e quadril e adutores do quadril. Não houve diferença estatística entre as características temporais e espaciais lineares da marcha entre os grupos, porém nas variáveis angulares o grupo fibromialgia apresentou menor pico de plantiflexão (12,59°±4,40° vs 16,58°±4,42°; p=0,02) e maior pico de dorsiflexão (16,11°±6,58° vs 11,55°±5,25°; p=0,04) máxima da articulação do tornozelo. Além disso, a ADM1 do joelho no grupo SFM, foi menor quando comparado com o grupo controle (8,97°±3,41° vs 11,82°±2,62; p=0,01). Quanto as variáveis de força de reação do solo, somente o PF1 da Fz foi significativamente menor nas mulheres com fibromialgia (43,9%±12,3% vs 60,3%±25,0%). A prevalência de quedas nos últimos seis meses foi de 43,75% no grupo SFM vs 12,50%; p=0,049). Conclui-se que houve alterações na marcha, redução no desempenho funcional e na força muscular em mulheres com SFM. Além disso, aproximadamente metade das pacientes relatarem quedas nos últimos seis meses, características estas observadas em populações idosas, as quais faz crescer a preocupação de como elas podem ser expostas precocemente aos efeitos adversos da idade.
Abstract: The main objective of this study was to evaluate the kinematic and kinetic parameters of gait and functional performance in women with fibromyalgia syndrome (SFM) which were recruited from the Clinic of Rheumatology, Hospital de Clínicas, Federal University of Paraná, Curitiba - PR. The study included 16 women diagnosed with FMS according to the criteria of the American College of Rheumatology, in addition 16 healthy women matched for age and body mass index (BMI) composed the control group (GC). Pain intensity, quality of life, level of physical activity, weight and height, muscle strength of lower limbs (maximal voluntary isometric contraction, rate of development of torque, torque), tests of functional assessment and analysis of kinematics and kinetics gait (optoelectronic system). Mean age, BMI and WC were similar. The fibromyalgia patients showed reduced functional capacity in the sit up and foot up and go tests (p<0.05). The SFM group presented lower maximal isometric contraction in the hip and knee extensor and hip adductor muscles. There was no difference between temporal and spatial gait variables between groups. The gait angular variables of the SFM showed lower peak plantarflexion (12.6 ° ± 4.4 ° vs. 16.6 ° ± 4.4 °; p = 0.02) and greater ankle dorsiflexion (16.1 ° ± 6.6 ° vs. 11.5 ° ± 5.2 °, p = 0.04). In addition, the knee ROM1, SFM group was lower when compared to the GC (8.9 ° ± 3.4 ° vs. 11.8 ° ± 2.6, p = 0.01). The ground reaction force variables showed lower PF1 in SFM (43.9% ± 12.3% vs 60.3% ± 25%). The prevalence of falls in the last six months was 43.75% in the SFM. Finally, impaired performance, reduced muscle strength, gait disorders and a high prevalence of falls were found in patients with SFM. The similarities between SFM and elderly subjects raise the concern that SFM patients may be exposed early in life to the adverse ageing effects.

Full textThis survey is the result of our interest in researching in psicoanalisys the possibilities of understanding of pain, more specifically within the clinical picture named by medicine of fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is considered a syndrome because of the obscurity in its genesis, therefore, despite of all the advances of the biotechnology arsenal, this enigmatic pathology affects anywhere from 1 to 5% of the population, being clearly more frequent in women. The character of itinerant pain, invisible to the eye of the doctor, hermetic and their interventions, challenges the discourse of science evidencing the existence of a body that speaks of something beyond organic. Thus, the treatment of fibromyalgia convenes another field of knowledge; psychoanalysis. This, acting from another epistemological position, opens up possibilities for the pain exceeds your withdrawal delight and reaches a dimension of suffering, resulting in the construction of some recognition and implication on what makes someone suffer. The enigmatic plot involving Fibromyalgia boosts our desire to seek in Freud, and some contemporary thinkers, theoretical operators so that we can build something about pain and therefore think of the place of psychoanalysis in a world governed by a totalitarian discourse and driven by biomedical parameters. This research was carried out within a multidisciplinary service is intended for the care of treatment Fibromyalgic syndrome. This way, it constitutes a theoretical-clinical research with the purpose of investigating the psychic aspects present in the formation of pain. Following the benchmark psychoanalytic approaches, individuals were met weekly and privately for about a year, eight patients with medical diagnosis of fibromyalgia. Among the eight cases, we chose to present one that showed us to be paradigmatic joints between the Freudian theory and fibromyalgic pain about hysteria. Hysteria as fibromyalgia begins exactly with the realization that the patients testify to an organic correspondence without suffering. The enigmatic character of strange, addressing another, backed by the plasticity of hysterical symptoms and its identification plot, reinforces our hypothesis. Keywords: Psychoanalysis; Pain; Fibromyalgia; Hysteria; Clinical Research.
Esta pesquisa é resultado do nosso interesse por investigar na psicanálise as possibilidades de compreensão da dor, mais especificamente dentro do quadro clínico nomeado pela medicina de fibromialgia. A fibromialgia é considerada uma síndrome em razão da obscuridade presente em sua gênesis, pois, apesar de todo avanço do arsenal biotecnológico, essa patologia segue enigmática atingindo de 1 a 5% da população em geral, sendo claramente mais frequente nas mulheres. O caráter de dor itinerante, invisível ao olhar médico e hermética as suas intervenções, desafia o discurso da ciência evidenciando a existência de um corpo que fala de algo para além do orgânico. A psicanálise agindo a partir de uma outra posição epistemológica, abre possibilidades para que a dor ultrapasse seu retraimento narcísico e atinja uma dimensão de sofrimento, resultando na construção de algum reconhecimento e implicação naquilo que faz sofrer. A trama enigmática que envolve a fibromialgia impulsiona o nosso desejo de buscar em Freud, e alguns pensadores contemporâneos, operadores teóricos para que possamos construir algo sobre a dor e consequentemente pensar o lugar da psicanálise em um mundo regido por um discurso totalizante e guiado por parâmetros biomédicos. Esta pesquisa foi realizada dentro de um serviço multidisciplinar que destina cuidados ao tratamento da síndrome fibromiálgica. Desse modo, constitui uma pesquisa teórico-clínica com o propósito de investigar os aspectos psíquicos presentes na formação da dor. Seguindo os referenciais psicanalíticos, foram atendidas, semanal e individualmente por cerca de um ano, oito pacientes com diagnóstico médico de fibromialgia. Dentre os oito casos, escolhemos apresentar aquele que nos mostrou ser paradigmático nas articulações entre a dor fibromiálgica e a teoria freudiana sobre a histeria. A histeria assim como a fibromialgia parte exatamente da constatação de que as pacientes testemunham um sofrimento sem correspondência orgânica. O caráter enigmático, de estranho, de endereçamento ao outro, apoiados pela plasticidade dos sintomas histéricos e sua trama identificatória, reforçam nossa hipótese.

Full textFibromyalgia (FM) is a syndrome characterized by chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain and hyperalgesia, especially in specific points called |tender points|. Furthermore, this syndrome is associated with psychosomatic disorders, such as chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety and sleep disorders. Interferential current (IFC) is a non-pharmacological and non-invasive treatment commonly used in promoting the symptomatic relief of pain. However, there is little evidence to support the effective use of IFC in patients with FM and little is known about the optimal parameters of stimulation by IFC. Thus, the present study had, as objective, to investigate the effects of different intensities of stimulation with IFC in pain relief and the other disorders present in individuals with FM. This study is a randomized, placebo-controlled and double-blind clinical trial. To assess the effects of IFC before and after treatment, the following outcomes were measured (with their respective instruments) in each session of application by IFC: pressure pain threshold (PPT: digital algometry), cutaneous sensory threshold (CST: von Frey filaments) and pain intensity at rest (11-point numeric rating scale). In addition, were also measured in the first and last day of treatment: impact of fibromyalgia (Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire), depression level (Beck Depression Inventory), anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory), functional capacity (Sitting-Rising and Timed Up and Go tests), fear to move (Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia), pain catastrophizing (Pain Catastrophizing Scale), characterization of pain (McGill Pain Questionnaire), quality of life (Short Form Health Survey 36), temporal summation (temporal summation test), conditioned pain modulation (conditioned pain modulation test) and fatigue intensity (11-point numeric rating scale). Twenty nine women with FM were recruited and allocated to three groups: Motor (n=10; IFC was applied at high intensity, with motor contraction), Sensory (n=10; high intensity, but without motor contraction) and placebo (n=9). Patients allocated into the motor and sensory groups were stimulated at an amplitude-modulated frequency of 100 Hz, for 30 minutes. In the placebo group, the current was released only in the first 40 seconds of stimulation. Ten treatment sessions were performed and the electrodes were applied to the paravertebral region. The t Student test, Wilcoxon and ANOVA for repeated measures were used to compare the results found, intra-group, before and after treatment. In women allocated to the motor group, there was a significant increase PPT, measured in the conditioned pain modulation test (p≤0.03), and significant reduction in amplification of pain intensity in temporal summation (p=0.03) after the end of treatment. None of the studied group showed significant change in the PPT and CST values in 18 tender points specific to FM, and pain intensity each treatment session with IFC (p>0.05). However, only the motor group had a significant reduction in the impact of the disease (p=0.01), depression (p=0.006), anxiety state (p=0.01), kinesiophobia (p=0.002), catastrophizing (p=0.008), pain rating index (p=0.04), fatigue (p=0.02) and number of tender points (p=0.04), and increased quality of life (p=0.006). Thus, the results, obtained in this study, provide strong evidence that the IFC, only when applied in high intensities of stimulation, is an effective treatment in reducing pain and psychosomatic disorders present in patients with FM
A fibromialgia (FM) é uma síndrome caracterizada por dor musculoesquelética crônica generalizada e hiperalgesia, principalmente em pontos específicos, chamados tender points . Além disso, essa síndrome está associada a alterações psicossomáticas, como fadiga crônica, depressão, ansiedade e distúrbios do sono. A corrente interferencial (CI) é um tratamento não-farmacológico e não-invasivo comumente utilizado na promoção do alívio sintomático da dor. Apesar disso, há pouca evidência que suporte o uso efetivo da CI em pacientes com FM e pouco se conhece sobre os parâmetros ideais de estimulação por meio da CI. Sendo assim, o presente estudo teve, como objetivo, investigar os efeitos de diferentes intensidades de estimulação com CI no alívio da dor, bem como das demais alterações presentes em indivíduos com FM. Este trabalho trata-se de um ensaio clínico randomizado, controlado por placebo e duplamente encoberto. Para avaliação dos efeitos da CI antes e após o tratamento, foram medidos os seguintes desfechos (com seus respectivos instrumentos) em cada sessão de aplicação da CI: limiar de dor por pressão (LDP: algometria digital), limiar sensitivo cutâneo (LSC: filamentos de von Frey) e intensidade de dor em repouso (Escala Numérica de 11 pontos). Além disso, foram também mensurados, no primeiro e no último dia de atendimento: impacto da fibromialgia (Questionário de Impacto da Fibromialgia), nível de depressão (Inventário de Depressão de Beck), ansiedade (Inventário de Ansiedade Traço-Estado), capacidade funcional (testes de Sentar e Levantar e Timed Up and Go), medo de movimentar-se (Escala de Cinesiofobia de Tampa), catastrofização da dor (Escala de Catastrofização da Dor), caracterização da dor (Questionário de Dor McGill), qualidade de vida (Short Form Health Survey 36), somação temporal (Teste de Somação Temporal), modulação condicionada da dor (Teste de Modulação Condicionada da Dor) e intensidade de fadiga (Escala Numérica de 11 pontos). Foram recrutadas 29 mulheres com FM, que foram alocadas em três grupos de estudo: Motor (n=10; a CI foi aplicada em alta intensidade, com contração motora), Sensorial (n=10; alta intensidade, porém sem contração motora) e Placebo (n=9). As pacientes alocadas nos grupos motor e sensorial foram estimuladas com uma frequência de amplitude modulada em 100 Hz, durante 30 minutos. Já no grupo placebo, a corrente foi liberada apenas nos primeiros 40 segundos de estimulação. Foram realizadas 10 sessões de tratamento e os eletrodos foram aplicados na região paravertebral. Os testes t de Student, Wilcoxon e ANOVA para medidas repetidas foram utilizados para comparação dos resultados encontrados, intra-grupo, antes e após o tratamento. Nas mulheres alocadas no grupo motor, foi observado aumento significativo do LDP, mensurado no teste de modulação condicionada da dor (p≤0,03), além de redução significativa na amplificação da intensidade de dor da somação temporal (p=0,03) após o término do tratamento. Nenhum dos grupos de estudo apresentou alteração significativa dos valores de LDP e LSC nos 18 tender points específicos para FM, e na intensidade de dor a cada sessão de tratamento com CI (p>0,05). No entanto, apenas o grupo motor apresentou redução significativa no impacto da doença (p=0,01), depressão (p=0,006), estado de ansiedade (p=0,01), cinesiofobia (p=0,002), catastrofização (p=0,008), índice de classificação da dor (p=0,04), fadiga (p=0,02) e quantidade de tender points (p=0,04), além do aumento da qualidade de vida (p=0,006). Dessa forma, os resultados encontrados, no presente estudo, fornecem fortes evidências de que a CI, apenas quando aplicada em altas intensidades de estimulação, é um tratamento eficaz na redução da dor e alterações psicossomáticas presentes em indivíduos com FM.

Full textIntrodução: Autonomic nervous system dysfunction (also named autonomic disturbance or dysautonomia) has been linked to physiopathology of adult patients with fibromyalgia. Cardiac modulation in response to exercise in case series of adult fibromyalgia revealed reduced aerobic capacity, as well as cardiac autonomic impairment and chronotropic incompetence, which is the inability to increase heart rate with an increase in exercise intensity. However, to our knowledge treadmill cardiorespiratory test and to assess aerobic capacity and dysautonomia has not been studied in adolescents with JFM patients. Objective: To assess cardiorespiratory exercise test parameters in Juvenile fibromyalgia syndrome (JFM) patients and healthy controls and possible correlations between these parameters and health-related quality of life (HRQL), functional ability and pain in JFM patients. Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional study included 25 JFM patients and 25 healthy controls. Both groups were engaged only in the physical education classes in school. A treadmill graded cardiorespiratory test was performed and heart-rate (HR) response during exercise was evaluated by the chronotropic reserve (CR). Pain, functional ability and HRQL were assessed. Results: The median current age was similar in JFM and controls (15 vs. 15years, p=0.890), as well as body mass index (p=0.332), female gender (p=1.000) and Tanner stages (p=0.822). The medians of HRQL parameters (total score/physical health/psychosocial health) were significantly lower in JFM versus controls according to patient and parent self-reports (p<0.001). The median of peak HR [181 (150-198) vs. 197 (181-202) bpm, p < 0.001], chronotropic reserve [84 (53-98) vs. 99 (84-103)%, p < 0.001] and resting to peak [96 (65-181) vs. 127 (61-185) bpm, p=0.010] were significantly lower in JFM compared to controls. The median of ?HRR1 [15 (3-39) vs. 35 (9-52) bpm, p < 0.001], deltaHRR2 [37 (20-57) vs. 51 (32-94) bpm, p < 0.001], peak VO2 [32.34 (24.24-39.65) vs. 36.4 (28.56-52.71) ml/kg/min, p=0.005]; peak speed [5 (4-6.3) vs. 5.9 (4.0-6.3) km/h, p=0.001], time to exhaustion [11.5 (8.5-14.5) vs. 14 (11-18) minutes, p < 0.001] and working capacity on power [3.37 (2.04-5.6) vs. 3.89 (2.91-6.55) W/kg, p=0.006] were significantly lower in JFM compared to controls. The frequency of chronotropic incompetence ( <= 80%) was significantly higher in JFM versus controls (p=0.0006). Conclusions: This study identified chronotropic incompetence and delayed HR recovery in JFM patients, indicating autonomic dysfunction

Full textO objectivo deste estudo foi analisar o impacto da Fibromialgia (FM) na qualidade de vida e capacidade funcional dos pacientes, identificando as variáveis associadas ao impacto da FM na qualidade de vida. A amostra foi composta por 93 pacientes com FM, distribuídos pelos diferentes distritos de Portugal continental e ilhas. Os resultados revelaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas (p≤0.05) nas variáveis como, o número de filhos, terapia farmacológica, o tempo de diagnóstico, número de especialistas consultados antes e após diagnostico, todas as outras variáveis estudadas não apresentaram diferenças estaticamente significativas. Conclui-se que os pacientes com um número superior de filhos, cuja a confirmação do diagnóstico tardou, que realizam terapia farmacológica e que consultaram mais especialistas antes e após o diagnóstico, apresentam um impacto superior da FM. Verificou-se ainda que a FM acarreta repercussões para o ambiente familiar. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of fibromyalgia (FM) on quality of life and functional capacity of patients to identify variables associated with the impact of FM on quality of life. The sample consisted of 93 patients with FM, spread over different districts of mainland Portugal and islands. The results showed statistically significant differences (p≤0.05) of variables as the number of children, drug therapy, diagnosis time, number of specialists consulted before and after diagnosis, all other variables showed no statistically significant differences. We conclude that patients with a higher number of children whose diagnostic confirmation soon that perform medical therapy and who consulted more specialists before and after diagnosis, have a higher impact of FM. It was also found that FM carries implications for the family.

Full textBrain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an endogenous protein involved in neuronal survival and synaptic plasticity of the central and peripheral nervous system. BDNF has been studied in pathological situations, including depression and chronic pain conditions, and appears to modulate nociceptive sensory inputs and pain hypersensitivity. Serum BDNF levels have been shown to be increase in serum and CSF of patients with fibromyalgia (FM). In the present study, we assessed serum BDNF levels in 30 female patients with FM and 30 healthy ageand gender-matched volunteers using an enzyme immunoassay. FM patients showed numerically higher levels of BDNF (FM= 167. 1 ± 171. 2 ng/ml) when compared with the control group (control = 113. 8 ± 149. 6 ng/ml), close to the limit of statistical significance (p=0. 056; Mann-Whitney test). However, only 6 out of 30 controls presented superior values to the median (15/15) of the patients with fibromyalgia (129 ng/ml) (p = 0. 029, Fisher exact test). There was no correlation between serum BDNF levels and age, disease duration, pain score, number of pain points and HAM-D score. There was no significant difference in BNDF levels regarding current antidepressant treatment. Our results confirm previous findings of increased serum BDNF levels in patients with FM, suggesting that BDNF may be involved in the pathophysiology of Fibromyalgia, despite high levels of depression.
O fator neurotrófico derivado do cérebro (BDNF) é uma proteína endógena responsável por regular a sobrevivência neuronal e a plasticidade sináptica do sistema nervoso periférico e central, O BDNF tem sido estudado em situações patológicas incluindo condições como a depressão e a dor crônica, e tem sido citado nos estímulos sensoriais nociceptivos e na hipersensibilidade à dor. Resultados recentes da literatura mostraram aumento do BDNF no soro e líquor de pacientes com fibromialgia (FM). Neste estudo mensuramos os níveis séricos do BDNF em 30 pacientes com FM e 30 controles saudáveis pareados por sexo e idade analisados por enzima imunoensaio. Os pacientes com FM apresentaram níveis numericamente superiores do BDNF (FM= 167,1 ± 171,2 ng/ml) quando comparados com o grupo controle (Controles= 113,8 ± 149,6 ng/ml), chegando perto do limite de significância estatística (p=0. 056; teste de Mann-Whitney). No entanto, somente 6 dos 30 controles apresentaram valores superiores à mediana (15/15) dos pacientes com fibromialgia (129 ng/ml) (p= 0,029, teste exato de Fisher bi-caudal). Não houve correlação entre os níveis de BDNF no soro e idade, tempo de doença, escore de dor, pontos de dor e escore da HAM-D. Quanto ao tratamento com antidepressivos não encontramos diferenças significativas entre os grupos. Os nossos resultados confirmaram os achados de estudos recentes do aumento dos níveis séricos do BDNF em pacientes com FM, sugerindo que o BDNF pode estar envolvido na fisiopatologia da FM, mesmo com elevados níveis de depressão.

Full textBackground: Fibromyalgia is a high prevalence disease, of unknown etiology e unsatisfactory therapeutics. It has great negative impact on the quality of life and functionality during its course. It’s known that some studies revealed an association between fibromyalgia and childhood trauma history in patients from tertiary care, however the nature of this relationship is unclear. The details of this relationship are unknown, as is its clinical importance and intervening factors. A high prevalence of depression has been observed among fibromyalgia patients. Studies that evaluate the interrelationships between fibromyalgia, childhood trauma and depression are not available. Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between childhood trauma and functionality loss among adult women with fibromyalgia. A second objective was to determine whether there was any influence of depression in this relationship. Method: All women who sought medical care at the Pain and Palliative Care Department Program in the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre and received fibromyalgia diagnoses in the period from April 2005 to April 2006 and from June 2007 to November 2007 were included in the study. Fibromyalgia was diagnosed by medical pain specialists following the American College of Rheumatology diagnostic criteria. Patients under the age of 18 or illiterates were excluded. A total of 145 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. From these 114 (79%) completed the interviews and are included in the present analysis. There were no refusals. Childhood trauma intensity and quality was measured using The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire and functionality loss using the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire. Depression diagnoses was made by regular psychiatry interview and confirmed by Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview – Brazilian version 5.0.0. Clinical and demographics data were collected by semi-structured interviews. Results: The linear regression model reveals a significant decrease in functionality in the presence of trauma, especially in the sub-sample reporting high intensity trauma. When the sample was stratified according to the presence of depression, the association of trauma scores with functionality loss was more marked among non-depression even after adjusting for age and use of psychotropic medication. Conclusions: Childhood trauma was importantly associated with functionality loss among adult women with fibromyalgia. There is a difference in the association of functionality loss and trauma in the presence of depression. Patients without depression evidenced higher loss of functionality associated to childhood trauma history. We formulate some hypothesis based on psychoanalytical theories. According to the Psychosomatic Paris School, early traumas could cause failures of psychic structuring leading to somatic symptoms, instead of mental defenses. New studies are required also to elucidate the fibromyalgia pathophysiology and develop strategies for preventing and treating this condition. The impact of childhood trauma and the role of depression on the clinical course of fibromyalgia should be further evaluated in prospective studies.

A síndrome dolorosa crônica conhecida como fibromialgia possui etiologia desconhecida e tem tido um número crescente de diagnósticos, desafiando sistemas tradicionais de cuidado. Diante disso, ainda que prevaleça a hegemonia do modelo biomédico, tratamentos que buscam uma compreensão complexa da experiência da dor têm contribuído significativamente para o tratamento dessa população. A hipnose se constitui como uma ferramenta importante para o tratamento da dor e tem sido representada em diversas pesquisas. Entretanto, partindo de uma perspectiva qualitativa, grande parte delas estudam apenas atendimentos individuais, ocasionando uma grande escassez de estudos relativos à hipnose em grupo. Dessa forma, devido a consagrada efetividade de grupos terapêuticos e da hipnose no tratamento da dor, essa pesquisa intenciona analisar o impacto de intervenções hipnóticas em grupos terapêuticos nas configurações subjetivas da dor vivida por pessoas com fibromialgia. Por conceber a dor como uma experiência subjetiva, foi utilizada a metodologia construtiva-interpretativa, com base da Epistemologia Qualitativa de González Rey, a fim de desenvolver a compreensão dessas configurações subjetivas. Foram realizados dois grupos, cada um com doze encontros no CAEP (UnB), nos quais foram utilizadas temáticas baseadas na metodologia de hipnose ericksoniana chamada “Grupo de Crescimento” de Tereza Robles. Nos casos estudados, diversos elementos relacionados a processos subjetivos relativos às dores das participantes denunciaram a complexidade dessas experiências. A vivência da hipnose e das trocas no contexto do grupo, impactaram em alguns desses elementos, indicando reconfigurações subjetivas relativas à autonomia, a experiências traumáticas e aos modos de relação dos sujeitos. A vivência do transe proporciona alterações de referências que se apresentaram de forma específica no contexto de grupo. A construção e interpretação dos indicadores propiciaram reflexões que demonstraram a importância de reconhecer a dor como uma experiência subjetiva, da hipnose em grupo como uma ferramenta importante para pessoas com fibromialgia, além de outras questões sociais e clínicas.
The chronic pain syndrome known as fibromyalgia has an unknown etiology and has an increasing number of diagnoses, challenging traditional care systems. Therefore, although the prevalence of the biomedical model, treatments that seek a complex understanding of the pain experience have contributed significantly to treating cases of this disease. Hypnosis is an important tool for the treatment of pain as has been shown in several studies. However, from a qualitative perspective, most of them approached only sessions conducted individually, which explain the severe shortage of studies on the use of hypnosis within groups. Thus, due to the effectiveness of therapeutic groups and hypnosis itself in the treatment of pain, this research analyses the impact of hypnotic interventions in therapeutic groups in the subjective configuration of pain experienced by people with fibromyalgia. Acknowledging pain as a subjective experience, this research adopts a constructive-interpretative methodology supported by the principles of the Qualitative Epistemology by González Rey, in order to develop an understanding of these subjective configurations. Two separate groups were conducted, each with twelve meetings in CAEP (UNB), in which were adopted themes based on Ericksonian hypnosis methodology called "Growth Group" by Theresa Robles. In the cases analyzed, several elements related to subjective processes related to pain felt by the participants indicated the complexity of these experiences. The hypnotic experience, as well as the sharing of experiences within the groups, affected some of these elements, pointing to subjective reconfigurations related to autonomy, traumatic experiences and the subject’s relations. The trance provides reference shifts which were detected specifically in the group context. The development and interpretation of these indicators have led to reflections that demonstrated the importance of recognizing pain as a subjective experience, group hypnosis as an important tool for people with fibromyalgia, besides other social and clinical issues.

Este estudo teve como objetivos avaliar a freqüência de fibromialgia em mães de crianças com dor de crescimento e sua provável associação em 153 crianças procedentes do ambulatório de Pediatria e Reumatologia Pediátrica do Hospital Universitário de Brasília, no período de fevereiro a setembro de 2005. Foram estudadas as características clínicas e epidemiológicas e avaliada a correlação entre enxaqueca materna e presença de dor de crescimento nessas crianças. Foram selecionadas 75 crianças que inicialmente preenchiam critérios para dor de crescimento e 78 sem queixas de dor, com idade entre 2 e 12 anos e 11 meses. O estudo consistiu de um questionário sobre as queixas dolorosas e suas características, exame físico geral e ortopédico, avaliação laboratorial de todas as crianças e exame clínico de todas as mães. Com relação às características clínicas das crianças com dor de crescimento, foi observado que a dor foi mais freqüente nas pernas (56,9%), durante o período noturno (39%) e na faixa etária entre 6 e 9 anos. Foram considerados como fatores desencadeantes mais freqüentes o frio (52,9%) e o exercício físico (42,2%) e como fatores de alívio as massagens (43,9%) e uso de pomadas (24,3%). Das 75 crianças com diagnóstico inicial de dor de crescimento, 5 apresentaram resultados alterados da velocidade de hemossedimentação (VHS) e 1 apresentou fator antinuclear positivo (FAN+), sendo então excluídas do estudo. Das 78 crianças sem queixas de dor, 7 apresentaram resultados alterados do VHS e uma com FAN+, sendo também excluídas do estudo. Do total 139 crianças, 69 apresentavam dor de crescimento (grupo estudo) e 70 não apresentavam queixas dolorosas (grupo controle). Dosagens de hemoglobina e de ferritina sérica foram realizadas em todas as crianças e não foi observada correlação estatística entre os valores encontrados e a dor de crescimento. A fibromialgia foi encontrada em 10 (14,5%) mães de crianças do grupo estudo e em 17 (24,3%) mães de crianças do grupo controle. Não foi constatadas correlação estatística (p = 0,1445) entre fibromialgia materna e dor de crescimento. A freqüência da enxaqueca materna foi de 29% no grupo estudo e de 35,7% no grupo controle. Também não foi observadas correlação estatística (p = 0,3966) entre enxaqueca materna e dor de crescimento. Concluímos que a fibromialgia materna não representou fator de risco para este grupo de crianças, que a freqüência de mães com enxaqueca foi maior no grupo controle e que as características clinicas, laboratoriais e epidemiológicas das crianças com dor de crescimento foram similares às encontradas na literatura. _________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
This study had as objective evaluate the frequency of fibromyalgia syndrome in mothers of children with growin g pain and its probable association in 153 children that were followed in the Departments of Pediatrics and Pediatric Rheu matology of the Hospital Universitário de Brasília, from Feb ruary to September of 2005. Clinical and epidemiological characteristics were studied and the correlation between maternal migraine and presence of growing pain in the children was evaluated. Seventy- five children that initially fit the criteria of growth pain and 78 without pain complaints, ages between 2 and 12 years and 11 months were selected. The study consisted of a questionnaire about the p ain complaints and their characteristics, followed by orthopedic and complete physical ex am, laboratorial evaluation of the children and clinical ex amination of the mothers. It was observed that in the group of children with growing pain, the pain was more frequently referred on th eir legs (56, 9%), during the night (39, 0%) and affected children that were 6 to 9 years old. Th e triggering factors considered more frequent wer e cold weather (52, 9%) and physical ex ercise (42, 2%), and the relief factors were massages (43, 9%) and the application of local ointments (24, 3%). Among the 75 children with the initial diagnosis of growing pain, 5 presented altered results in the sedimentation rate (ESR) and 1 child presented positive antinuclear erythrocyte factor (ANF+), consequently all them were left out of the study. From the 78 childr en without any pain complaints, 7 presented altered ESR results and 1 child presented ANF+, also being left out of the study. Out of the total of 139 children, 69 presented growing pains (study group) and 70 had no pain complaints (control group). Hemoglobin and serum f erritine were evaluated in all children but no statistical correlation was observ ed between the v alues obtained and the gro wing p ain. Fibromyalgia syndrome was found in 10 (14, 5%) mothers of children from the study group and in 17 (24, 3%) mothers of children fro m the control group. No statistical correlation was found between maternal fibromyalgia syndrome and growing pain (p = 0, 1445). The maternal migraine h ad a frequency of 29% in the study group and 35% in the control group. There was also no statistical cor relation between maternal migraine and growth pains in the children (p = 0, 3966). We concluded that maternal fibromyalgia syndrome didn't represent a risk factor to the group of children with gr owing pain. We also observed that the prevalence of mothers with migraine was higher in th e control group and th e clinic, laboratorial and epidemiologic characteristics of children with growth pain were similar to those found in the literature.

Pain is one of the major causes of human suffering, afflicted humanity since the beginning of its existence and, regardless of its acute or chronic character, triggers in man changes in sleep patterns, appetite and libido, irritability, decreased ability to concentrate, in addition to difficulties in family, professional and social activities. Fibromyalgia (FB) is a syndrome characterized by chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain, etiology not yet fully clarified, that occurs predominantly in white individuals, affecting 2.5% of the Brazilian population, with higher incidence in females, in the productive phase (before 50 years of age), and may also affect children and the elderly. In the absence of specific markers, the diagnosis of FB is based on clinical findings according to criteria established by the American College of Rheumatology: widespread pain present in the axial skeleton and in both hemibodies, above and below the waist, presence of 11 or more of the 18 tender points and chronic pain for more than 3 months. FB treatment aims to reduce pain and associated symptoms and improve quality of life. Antidepressants associated with non-pharmacological treatments including low impact aerobic, stretching, strengthening programs, or muscle relaxation, rehabilitation and physical therapy have been used with results not always satisfactory. Other therapies such as balneotherapy, thermotherapy, magnetic therapy, homeopathy, manual handling, dietotherapy, music therapy and acupuncture are recommended for its self-regulatory, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. In search of other therapeutic options, this study aims to evaluate the effects of acupuncture, electroacupuncture and moxibu stion on the pain and quality of life in fibromyalgic women. Thirty women aged between 20 and 60 years (mean age 46.90±9.24), selected according to predefined criteria, with FB, who had pain of moderate to severe intensity (<4kg/cm2) were included in the study. The patients were randomized, distributed in three groups (n=10) and treated with acupuncture (AC) [G-1], electroacupuncture (EAC) [G-2] and moxibustion (MX) [G-3], during 8 weeks (weekly sessions). Stainless steel needles were inserted into specific acupoints bilaterally (Neiguan/PC-6, Hegu/G-4, Yanglingquan/VB-34, Sanyinjiao/BP-6 and Taichong/F-3) in all patients, and retained for 30 minutes. Additionally, EAC (G-2) or MX (G-3) were applied during 30 minutes. To evaluate the intensity of the pain the McGill questionnaire, the Wong-Baker Faces Scale and the Fischer Algometer device were used. The quality of life was assessed using the questionnaire The Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), translated, adapted and validated for the Portuguese language in 1999.The data was tabulated using the Excel 2007 software for Windows ® from Microsoft Corporation (U.S.A). GraphPad Prism ® v. 5.00 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, California, U.S.A) program was used for statistical analysis. The results show that none of the three treatment methods used in the study (AC, EAC, MX) promotes reduction of pain in fibromyalgic women, after 8 weeks of treatment. However, both EAC as MX treatments improve the mental health. Additionally, the AC improves vitality in these patients.
A dor é uma das principais causas do sofrimento humano, aflige a humanidade desde o inicio de sua existência e, independentemente de seu caráter agudo ou crônico, desencadeia no homem alterações nos padrões de sono, apetite e libido, irritabilidade, diminuição da capacidade de concentração, além de dificuldades em atividades familiares, profissionais e sociais. A fibromialgia (FB) é uma síndrome musculoesquelética crônica caracterizada por dor generalizada, de etiologia ainda não completamente esclarecida, que ocorre predominantemente em indivíduos de cor branca, afetando 2,5% da população brasileira, com maior incidência no sexo feminino, na fase produtiva (antes dos 50 anos de idade), podendo também afetar crianças e idosos. Na ausência de marcadores específicos, o diagnóstico da FB é baseado em achados clínicos conforme critérios estabelecidos pelo American College of Rheumatology: dor generalizada presente no esqueleto axial e em ambos os hemicorpos, acima e abaixo da cintura, presença de 11 ou mais dos18 tender points e dor crônica por mais de 3 meses. O tratamento da FB tem como objetivo reduzir a dor e os sintomas associados e melhorar a qualidade de vida. Antidepressivos associados a tratamentos não farmacológicos incluindo exercícios aeróbicos de baixo impacto, alongamentos, programas de fortalecimento ou relaxamento muscular, reabilitação e fisioterapia têm sido usados com resultados nem sempre satisfatórios. Outras terapias são recomendadas, como balneoterapia, termoterapia, terapia magnética, homeopatia, manipulação manual, dietoterapia, musicoterapia e acupuntura, pelos seus efeitos auto-reguladores, analgésicos e antiinflamatórios. Na busca de outras opções terapêuticas, este estudo objetiva avaliar os efeitos da acupuntura, da eletro- acupuntura e da moxabustão sobre a dor e a qualidade de vida em mulheres fibromiálgicas. Participaram do estudo 30 mulheres com idades entre 20 e 60 anos (média 46,90±9,24), selecionadas segundo critérios pré-definidos, portadoras de fibromialgia, que apresentavam dor de intensidade moderada a grave (Algometria de Fischer <4kg/cm2). As pacientes foram distribuídas aleatoriamente em três grupos (n=10) e tratadas com acupuntura (AC) [G-1], eletroacupuntura (EAC) [G-2] e moxabustão (MX) [G-3], durante 8 semanas (sessões semanais). Agulhas de aço inoxidável foram inseridas em acupontos específicos bilateralmente (Neiguan/PC-6, Hegu/IG-4, Yanglingquan/VB-34, Sanyinjiao/BP-6 e Taichong/F-3) em todas as pacientes e retidas por 30 minutos. Adicionalmente, foram aplicadas a EAC (G-2) ou a MX (G-3) durante 30 minutos. Para avaliação da intensidade da dor foram utilizados o questionário McGill, a Escala de Faces de Wong-Baker e o Algômetro de Fischer. A qualidade de vida foi avaliada utilizando o questionário The Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), traduzido, adaptado e validado para a língua portuguesa em 1999. Os dados foram tabulados utilizando-se o software Excel para Windows 2007® da Microsoft Corporation (U.S.A.) e analisados pelo programa de análise estatística GraphPad Prism® v.5.00 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, Califórnia, U.S.A). Os resultados mostram que nenhum dos três métodos de tratamento utilizados no estudo (AC, EAC, MX) promove redução da dor em mulheres fibromiálgicas, após 8 semanas de tratamento. Por outro lado, tanto a EAC como a MX melhoram a saúde mental; a AC promove a melhora da vitalidade nessas pacientes.

Full textPrior studies suggest central sensitization plays an important role in the pathophysiology of fibromyalgia. Dry needling trigger point treatment, while painful, has been demonstrated as useful in fibromyalgia patients for decreasing pain and central sensitization. However, the current biopsicosocial pain paradigm indicates that fibromyalgia subjects with high levels of catastrophism have negative thoughts related to potentially painful episodes, which results in a major amount of pain perceived and efficacy of the treatment. Therefore, the objective of our study was to assess whether catastrophizing could influence the perception of pain during, after and 24 hours after dry needling application.

Full textObjective: Evaluate the perception of pain in the fibromyalgia through the quantitative and qualitative methodological technique. Method: A total of 30 clients were assessed through an interview analyzed by the thematic content and through the instrument Descriptors of Pain. Arithmetic mean and standard error were used to determine which descriptors better characterize the pain in the fibromyalgia. Results and Discussion: The result of the content analysis was the construction of categories of analysis regarding the perceptions of: diagnosis, motivation, disease, feelings, thoughts and repercussions on the quality of life. The Descriptors of Pain instrument revealed the descriptors of higher attribution in the characterization of pain were inconvenient, spreading, pulsating, uncomfortable and persistent and the descriptors with the lower attribution were miserable, demoniac, cursed, terrifying and frightening. The two instruments showed the clients\' tendency in perceiving and reporting the pain regarding to the sensorialdiscriminating characteristics. In addition, data related to the importance of the family\'s and the health professional\'s roles in managing the pain were presented. Conclusion: The need to stimulate the perception and expression of clients regarding the pain in its multidimensionality was perceived. It is concluded that the management of pain must be performed considering the complexity of the phenomenon in terms of the triad health team - client - family.

From centuries past to the present, pain and its symbolic value have not lost their vigor in scientific discussions. Chronic pain, here represented by fibromyalgia, is characterized by the prolongation of painful sensation in the body for more than six months. Fibromyalgia is known for the sensation of pain, without there being an organic substrate to back up its clinical / biomedical diagnosis. In the scientific literature, the tendency to approach fibromyalgia within positivist parameters is perceived in the scientific literature, which, in this case, has as main objective to attenuate the symptom aiming at the control of pain. What are the possible effects of this tendency that supposedly pervades the subject of pain, about what refers to their meanings and their relations? This research aimed to understand the experience of pain, from the perspective of patients in the treatment of fibromyalgia, based on the Systemic Theory reference. Specifically, we sought to understand conceptions and feelings about pain in patients diagnosed and treated with fibromyalgia; to understand the conditions of possibility to the experience with the pain, in the reconstruction of the process of discovery and diagnosis; to identify the perception of the subjects about the ways in which pain has been approached by health professionals; to analyze the ways in which the family is organizing in the face of pain, based on the understanding of family structure and its interrelation with pain and treatment. In this qualitative research, five women were diagnosed with fibromyalgia for at least one year. The in-depth interview was used as the main technique, contextualized by field diary, aiming at records of intersubjective aspects arising from interviews. The content analysis of Minayo in its thematic aspect aided in the understanding of the material constructed in the field. In the first theme emotional components related to / influencing the experience of pain were perceived; the presence of traumatic events (with regard to losses, for example) in the first manifestations of pain; adopted behaviors of suppression to the pain, at the same time that occurred movement of resistance to the change and a search to the homeostasis. In the second theme, it was observed the maintenance of beliefs that the disease manifests itself in an exclusively emotional and / or physical instance; medication as the main therapy offered to silence the pain; difficulty in dealing with subjective issues; little demand for space that aims at a treatment beyond physical pain. None of the participants showed interest in a psychotherapeutic space. Finally, in the third theme it was observed that, in general, women occupy a central position in their families; they feel little understood. It was also observed family relations that were negatively feedbacks, facilitating the maintenance of the symptom, the families adopt behaviors that reverberate in a maintenance of dysfunctional homeostasis. This dysfunctional pattern is characterized as a movement of continuous rigidity, with few opportunities for change and consequently few transitions within the systems, leaving the conditions of possibility to the true experience. With this research it is estimated to contribute to an integral assistance, reflecting on the nuances involved in the complexity of the pain experience and family relationships that permeate the context of fibromyalgia and its treatment.
Desde séculos passados até hoje a dor e seu valor simbólico não perderam vigor nas discussões científicas. A dor crônica, aqui representada pela fibromialgia, é caracterizada pelo prolongamento da sensação dolorosa no corpo por mais de seis meses. A fibromialgia é conhecida pela sensação de dor, sem que haja um substrato orgânico para respaldar o seu diagnóstico clínico/biomédico. Percebe-se na literatura científica a tendência em abordar a fibromialgia dentro de parâmetros positivistas que, neste caso, têm como principal objetivo atenuar o sintoma visando ao controle da dor. Quais os possíveis efeitos dessa tendência que supostamente perpassa o sujeito da dor, sobre o que remete aos seus significados e às suas relações? Nesta pesquisa buscou-se compreender a experiência da dor, na perspectiva de pacientes em tratamento de fibromialgia, com base no referencial da Teoria Sistêmica. De forma específica, buscou-se conhecer concepções e sentimentos sobre dor, em pacientes diagnosticados e em tratamento com fibromialgia; compreender as condições de possibilidade à experiência com a dor, na reconstrução do processo de descoberta e diagnóstico; identificar a percepção dos sujeitos sobre os modos como a dor vem sendo abordada pelos profissionais de saúde; analisar os modos como a família vem se organizando perante a dor, com base na compreensão da estrutura familiar e sua inter-relação com a dor e o tratamento. Nesta pesquisa de natureza qualitativa participaram cinco mulheres diagnosticadas com fibromialgia há pelo menos um ano. Utilizou-se a entrevista em profundidade como técnica principal, contextualizada por diário de campo visando registros de aspectos intersubjetivos advindos das entrevistas. A análise de conteúdo de Minayo em sua vertente temática auxiliou na compreensão do material construído em campo. No primeiro tema perceberam-se componentes emocionais relacionados a/influenciando a experiência da dor; a presença de eventos traumáticos (no que concerne a perdas, por exemplo) nas primeiras manifestações de dores; condutas adotadas de supressão à dor, ao mesmo tempo em que ocorria movimento de resistência à mudança e uma busca à homeostase. No segundo tema percebeu-se a manutenção de crenças de que a doença manifesta-se em uma instância exclusivamente emocional e/ou física; a medicação como principal terapêutica ofertada para silenciar a dor; dificuldade de profissionais em lidar com questões de ordem subjetiva; pouca procura por espaço que vise um tratamento para além da dor física. Nenhuma das participantes demonstrou interesse por um espaço psicoterápico. Por fim, no terceiro tema foi observado que, de modo geral, as mulheres ocupam uma posição central em suas famílias; sentem-se pouco compreendidas. Também foi observado relações familiares que se retroalimentavam negativamente, facilitando a manutenção do sintoma, as famílias adotam condutas que repercutem numa manutenção de homeostase disfuncional. Esse padrão disfuncional caracteriza-se como um movimento de rigidez contínuo, com poucas oportunidades de mudança e consequentemente de poucas transições dentro dos sistemas, afastando as condições de possibilidade à verdadeira experiência Com esta pesquisa estima-se contribuir para uma assistência integral, refletindo sobre as nuances envolvidas na complexidade da experiência da dor e as relações com a família que perpassam o contexto da fibromialgia e seu tratamento.

Full textIntroduction: Fibromyalgia patients usually report fatigue and this symptom is the second more intense, limiting daily life activities, increasing stress and pain. There is no sense if fatigue complains are related to muscle fatigue altered patterns, since most studies performed questionnaires and scales to quantify this symptom. The aim of this study was to evaluate muscle fatigue patterns by surface electromyography during the sit to stand test. Methods: Participated 49 subjects in two groups: Fibromyalgia Group (n=34) and Control Group (n=15). Electromyography muscle fatigue patterns were evaluated by median frequency analyses (MDF) of the distal third of the vastus lateralis muscle during sit to stand test, pain by Visual Analog Scale (VAS), fibromyalgia symptoms by Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) and the test performance by total time spent in test and by number of movements. All subjects performed the sit to stand test in a comfortable velocity until exhaustion. Electromyography recording was performed in tree moments, simultaneously at Borg scale perceived effort evaluation: initial time (T1), after one minute (T2) and at exhaustion (T3). Results: Fibromyalgia group present MDF decrease at T3 (p=0,04) and more intense perceived effort at T2 (p=0,00). There was a moderate correlation for MDF in T3 with pain intensity (-0,40; p=0,00) and total time in sit to stand test in seconds (0,43; p=0,00). Conclusion: Fibromyalgia patients showed early muscle fatigue signs with MDF decrease and more intense perceived effort.

Full textWe aimed to gather knowledge on the cardiac autonomic modulation in patients with fibromyalgia (FM) in response to exercise and to investigate whether this population suffers from chronotropic incompetence (CI). Methods: Fourteen women with FM (age: 46 ± 3 years; body mass index (BMI): 26.6 ± 1.4 kg/m2) and 14 gender-, BMI- (25.4 ± 1.3 kg/m2), and agematched (age: 41 ± 4 years) healthy individuals (CTRL) took part in this crosssectional study. A treadmill cardiorespiratory test was performed and heart-rate (HR) response during exercise was evaluated by the chronotropic reserve. HR recovery (deltaHRR) was defined as the difference between HR at peak exercise and at both first (deltaHRR1) and second (deltaHRR2) minutes after the exercise test. Results: FM patients presented lower maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) when compared with healthy subjects (22 ± 1 versus CTRL: 32 ± 2 mL/kg/minute, respectively; P < 0.001). Additionally, FM patients presented lower chronotropic reserve (72.5 ± 5%versus CTRL: 106.1 ± 6%, P < 0.001), deltaHRR1 (24.5 ± 3hpm versus CTRL: 32.6 ± 2hpm, P = 0.059) and deltaHRR2 (34.3 ± 4hpm versus CTRL: 50.8 ± 3hpm, P = 0.002) than their healthy peers. The prevalence of CI was 57.1% among patients with FM. Conclusions: Patients with FM who undertook a graded exercise test may present CI and delayed HR recovery, both being indicative of cardiac autonomic impairment and higher risk of cardiovascular events and mortality.

Full textA fibromialgia representa uma condição reumática caracterizada por dor crónica generalizada, difusa e persistente, com natureza desconhecida e sem causa orgânica detectável. Esta entidade frequente nos contextos de Reumatologia e Medicina Geral, agrega na sua configuração uma vasta gama de manifestações clínicas de distintas naturezas, que reflectem a sua presença nos diversos contextos de vida de quem com ela convive quotidianamente. Atendendo à dor, à ansiedade, à depressão e às dificuldades ao nível do funcionamento sexual na qualidade de manifestações clínicas habitualmente verificadas nos doentes com fibromialgia, desenvolveu-se um estudo destas dimensões, objectivando analisar a dor, a ansiedade, a depressão e o funcionamento sexual em mulheres com fibromialgia e pretendendo oferecer uma contribuição empírica para a compreensão destes fenómenos. No presente estudo participaram 60 mulheres com fibromialgia, entre os 23 e os 70 anos de idade (M=53,3 anos), utentes da Consulta da Dor do Hospital de São João – EPE, do Porto. Foram administrados, no contexto de uma entrevista pessoal, um questionário sócio-demográfico, para a recolha de dados sócio-demográficos, a Escala Visual Analógica (EVA) e o Inventário Resumido da Dor (BPI), para o estudo da dor, a Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão (HADS), para a exploração da ansiedade e da depressão e o Índice de Funcionamento Sexual Feminino (FSFI) para a análise do funcionamento sexual. Os resultados indicam que, a amostra apresentava, em média, níveis elevados de dor, de ansiedade e de depressão, ostentando ainda uma forte presença de dificuldades na área do funcionamento sexual. De uma forma geral, estes achados, com implicações práticas, vão de encontro à literatura consultada.Fibromyalgia is a rheumatic condition characterized by chronic widespread pain, diffuse and persistent, with an unknown nature and no detectable organic cause. This entity often in contexts of Rheumatology and General Medicine, in its configuration adds a wide range of clinical manifestations of different nature, reflecting its presence in the various contexts of life of those who live with it daily. Given the pain, anxiety, depression and difficulty with sexual function in the quality of clinical manifestations commonly observed in patients with fibromyalgia, developed a study of these dimensions, analyzing objectify the pain, anxiety, depression and sexual functioning in women with fibromyalgia and intending to provide an empirical contribution to understanding these phenomena. In the present study involved 60 women with fibromyalgia, between 23 and 70 years of age (M= 53,3 years), users of Pain Management Unit of the Hospital de São João - EPE, Porto. Were administered, in the context of an personal interview, a socio-demographic questionnaire, to collect socio-demographic data, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Brief Pain Inventory (Short form) (BPI) for the study of pain, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) for the exploration of anxiety and depression, and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) for the analysis of sexual functioning. The results indicate that the sample had, on average, high levels of pain, anxiety and depression, also boasting a strong presence of difficulties in the area of sexual functioning. Overall, these findings with practical implications, goes according with the consulted literature. La fibromyalgie est une affection rhumatismale caractérisée par une douleur chronique très répandue, diffuse et persistante, avec une nature inconnue et aucune cause organique détectable. Cette entité souvent dans des contextes de Rhumatologie et de Médecine Générale, dans sa configuration, ajoute un large éventail de manifestations cliniques de différentes natures, reflétant sa présence dans les différents contextes de la vie de ceux qui, avec elle, vivent quotidiennement. Compte tenu de la douleur, l'anxiété, la dépression et des troubles de la fonction sexuelle, dans la qualité de manifestations cliniques fréquemment observées chez les patients souffrant de fibromyalgie, il a été développée une étude de ces dimensions, objectivant analyser la douleur, l'anxiété, la dépression et le fonctionnement sexuel chez les femmes souffrant de fibromyalgie, ayant aussi l'intention de fournir une contribution empirique à la compréhension de ces phénomènes. Dans la présente étude ont participé 60 femmes souffrant de fibromyalgie, entre 23 et 70 ans (M=53,3 ans), utilisatrices du Centre de Traitement de la Douleur de l´Hôpital de São João - EPE, Porto.

Full textFibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic rheumatic syndrome characterized by diffuse muscle-skeletal pain, and aerobic exercises represent a fundamental portion in therapeutic approach. Objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of aerobic exercises accomplished in the water of the sea (thalassotherapy) for women with FM and to compare with exercises accomplished in the swimming pool, involving a multidisciplinary team, composed by rheumatologists, physical therapists, students of physical therapy and students of physical education. Forty six (46) women with age between 18 and 60 years with FM were randomized in 2 groups: a swimming pool group (23 patients) and a sea group (23 patients). 80th groups trained a week with the same program of aerobic conditioning 3 times (60 minutes each) for 12 weeks. Ali the patients were evaluated, before and immediately after treatment, with Visual Analogical Scale (VAS) for pain and fatigue, number of tending points, Fibromyalgia Impact Ouestionnaire (FIO), Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36), Pittsburgh Sleep Ouality Index (PSOI) and Beck Oepression Inventory (BOI). For statistical analysis, it was used paired-t test for analysis intra-group and non-paired test for inter-groups analysis, significance levei of p <0,05. Four patients, of each group, didn't complete the training programo Groups were homogeneous and they were compared in initial evaluation, except for BOI (p <0,05). Both groups presented statistically significant improvement for ali appraised parameters in the post-treatment compared with initial evaluation, there were reduction of intensity of pain and fatigue, number of tending points, better functional capacity (FIO), life quality (SF-36), quality of sleep (PSQI) and depression indexes (BOI). However, in comparison among the groups, group of sea (thalassotherapy) presented better results for ali parameters, however with statistically significant difference just only for depression indexes (BOI). At the end, it was observed that accomplishment of aerobic exercises in sea water or swimming pool was effective as part of treatment for patients with FM. However, exercise programs with thalassotherapy seems to bring more benefits, mainly related to emotional aspects, could be a therapeutic option of low cost for patients with FM in our area
A Fibromialgia (FM) ? uma s?ndrome reum?tica cr?nica, caracterizada por dor m?sculo esquel?tica difusa, onde os exerc?cios aer?bicos representam uma parcela fundamental na sua abordagem terap?utica. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a efic?cia de exerc?cios aer?bicos realizados na ?gua do mar (talassoterapia) para mulheres com FM e comparar com exerc?cios realizados na piscina, envolvendo uma equipe multidisciplinar, composta por reumatologistas, fisioterapeutas e estudantes de fisioterapia e educa??o f?sica. Quarenta e seis (46) mulheres com idade entre 18 e 60 anos com FM foram randomizadas em 2 grupos: grupo da piscina (23 pacientes) e grupo do mar (23 pacientes). Ambos os grupos foram treinados com o mesmo programa de condicionamento aer?bico: tr?s vezes por semana, durante 60 minutos, por 12 semanas. Todas as pacientes foram avaliadas, antes e imediatamente ap?s o tratamento, pela Escala Visual Anal?gica (EV A) para dor e fadiga, contagem do n?mero de tender points, Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) e Beck Oepression Inventory (BDI). Na an?lise estat?stica, foram utilizados o teste t pareado para an?lise intragrupo e o teste t n?o-pareado para an?lise intrergrupos, sendo considerado um n?vel de signific?ncia p < 0,05. Quatro pacientes de cada grupo n?o completaram o programa de treinamento. Os grupos foram homog?neos e compar?veis na avalia??o inicial, com exce??o do BOI (p <0,05). Ambos os grupos apresentaram melhora estatisticamente significante em todos os par?metros avaliados no p?s-tratamento, comparado com a avalia??o inicial, com redu??o da intensidade da dor e fadiga, do n?mero de tend,er points, melhora da capacidade funcional (FIQ), qualidade de vida (SF-36), qualidade do sono (PSQI) e dos ?ndices e depress?o (BOI). Entretanto, na compara??o entre os grupos, o grupo do mar (talassoterapia) apresentou melhores resultados em todos os par?metros, por?m com diferen?a estatisticamente significante apenas nos ?ndices de depress?o (BOI). Ao final, observamos que a realiza??o de exerc?cios aer?bicos na ?gua do mar ou da piscina se mostrou efetiva como parte do tratamento de pacientes com FM. Entretanto, o programa de exerc?cios associado ? talassoterapia parece trazer mais benef?cios, principalmente relacionados a aspectos emocionais, podendo ser uma op??o terap?utica de baixo custo para pacientes com FM em nossa regi?o

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a non-inflammatory rheumatic syndrome of unknown etiology, with symptoms of diffuse musculoskeletal pain and presence of specific anatomic sites called tender points. The symptoms are often associated with fatigue, sleep disturbances, morning stiffness, alterations in pain perception, anxiety and depression. Fibromyalgia exhibits a correlation between physical and behavioral symptoms, which have a negative influence on the quality of life of patients. Emotional skills are important factors since they are related to subjective well-being, personal productivity, social interaction and interpersonal relationships. We aim to describe the physical and psychosocial interactions in women with FM, showing the association between perceived social support and affect with symptoms of pain, functionality and mood. We will also describe a body representation of pain in women with FM. Data were collected over 3 years and the sample size ranged between studies. This is an exploratory cross-sectional study conducted with a convenience sample of 63 women with FM and 42 healthy women as a control group (CT), aged 20-76 years, recruited through spontaneous demand at Onofre Lopes University Hospital (HUOL) and the Clinical School of Physiotherapy of Universidade Potiguar (UNP). The Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Social Support Scale (MOS), Hamilton Anxiety Scale and Scale of Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), in addition to pressure algometry were used. For data analysis, we used parametric and non-parametric tests and a general linear model with adjustment variables and analysis of variance. A significant difference was found between pain threshold and tolerance, functionality, depression, anxiety, social support, and positive and negative affect between the groups. Affective states and social support were associated with anxiety, depression and functionality. A body was drawn representing pain with higher incidences in trapeze, supraspinatus and second ribs. The reason for studying sensory aspects, affective behavior and social support in FM patients opens perspectives for scientific and clinical research of this syndrome. Women with chronic pain such as FM appear to have altered mood states, less social support and affective dysfunctions, influencing the other symptoms of the syndrome

Dentre os sintomas frequentemente associados est?o a fadiga, dist?rbios do sono, rigidez matinal, altera??es na percep??o da dor, ansiedade e depress?o. Existe na FM uma correla??o entre os sintomas f?sicos e comportamentais que influenciam negativamente na qualidade de vida dos pacientes. As habilidades emocionais aparecem como fatores importantes por estarem relacionadas com o mecanismo de bem estar subjetivo pessoal, produtividade, intera??o social e de relacionamento interpessoal. Objetivou-se descrever as intera??es f?sicas e psicossociais em mulheres com FM apresentando poss?veis associa??es entre a percep??o de apoio social e afetividade com os sintomas de dor, funcionalidade e estado de humor. Objetivo-se tamb?m, descrever um tipo de representa??o corporal da dor em mulheres com FM. Os dados foram coletados ao longo de 3 anos e o n?mero amostral variou entre os estudos. A partir de um estudo explorat?rio descritivo transversal, foi composta uma amostra por conveni?ncia de 63 mulheres com FM e 42 mulheres saud?veis como grupo controle (CT), com faixa et?ria de 20 a 76 anos, recrutadas mediante demanda espont?nea no setor de Fisioterapia do Hospital Universit?rio Onofre Lopes (HUOL) e na Cl?nica Escola de Fisioterapia da Universidade Potiguar (UNP). Foi aplicado o Question?rio de Impacto da Fibromialgia (FIQ), Invent?rio de Depress?o de Beck (IDB), Escala de Apoio Social (MOS), Escala de Ansiedade de Hamilton e Escala de Afeto Positivo e Negativo (PANAS). A seguir foi realizada a avalia??o da dor atrav?s da algometria de press?o. Para a an?lise dos dados, foram utilizados testes param?tricos e n?o param?tricos e de an?lise de vari?ncia. Foi encontrada diferen?a significativa quanto ao limiar e toler?ncia ? dor, funcionalidade, depress?o, ansiedade, apoio social e afetividade positiva e negativa. Os estados afetivos e o apoio social apresentaram associa??o com ansiedade, depress?o e funcionalidade. Foi elaborada uma representa??o corporal da dor que apresentou maiores incid?ncias em trap?zio, supraespinhal e segunda costela. A raz?o de se estudar a FM integrando os aspectos sensoriais, afetivo-comportamentais e sociais amplia os horizontes para investiga??o cient?fica e cl?nica dessa s?ndrome.

Full textINTRODUCTION: The musculoskeletal system has an important function of supporting the body and losses related to its function interfere with its functional capacity, giving the elderly an increased risk of dependency, frailty and falls. Fibromyalgia is characterized by chronic muscle pain associated with sleep disturbance and fatigue which lead the affected individual to a loss of quality of life, and its predominant characteristics are linked to the musculoskeletal system. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the characteristics of muscle function in elderly women with and without fibromyalgia by assessing the strength by isometric and isokinetic peak torque of knee extensors and flexors and vastus lateralis muscle architecture. METHODS: We recruited, by a newspaper with largest circulation in Rio Grande do Sul, women aged 60 years or over who did not do physical activity regularly. The volunteers were divided into two groups: fibromyalgia (n = 13 - diagnosed according to Colégio Americano de Reumatologia (Rheumatology American School) by a physiatrist from the Serviço de Fisiatria do HSL-PUCRS (Physical Medicine Service of HSL-PUCRS) and without fibromyalgia group (n = 13 - matched for age, height and mass body weight). The isometric and isokinetic torques were obtained from the Biodex System 3 Pro with the hip in 90° of flexion and extension torque and knee flexion evaluated at 70 and 90 degrees. In order to evaluate the muscle architecture a SSD400 ultrasound was used by a probe of a linear array of 40 mm and frequency of 7. 5 MHz and images were obtained in the sagittal plane at 50% of the vastus lateralis. The research project was approved by the Research Institute of Geriatrics and Gerontology and by the Committee of Research Ethics of PUC, Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul, (letter No 1583/09). All participants signed a consent form. Statistical analysis did not detect any evidence that these variables did not show a normal distribution. Thus, inter and intra group comparisons tests were used for parametric lines. Statistical analyzes confirmed the homogeneity of the sample and the data were statistically analyzed by SPSS 13. 0 software with a significance level of 5%.RESULTS: The average age of women was 65. 7 years old. For the isometric torque of knee flexors at angles of 70º and 90° in relation flexor-extensor torque of the knee in 90°, the maximum isokinetic torque of knee flexors at 60°/ s in the relation flexor-extensor isokinetic torque knee we found significant differences whereas the values of the women with fibromyalgia were lower than those ones without it. Since the isometric torque of knee extensors at angles of 70° and 90°, the normalized peak torque (90°/70°) of knee extensors, the torque flexor-extensor of the knee in 70°, the maximum torque of isokinetic knee extensors at 60°/s, the length of the fascicles of the vastus lateralis muscle and the pennation angle of the vastus lateralis showed no difference between elderly with and without fibromyalgia. CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that the changes in elderly women with fibromyalgia are related to muscular adaptations related to disuse and deconditioning imposed by the painful symptoms caused by this syndrome.
INTRODUÇÃO: o sistema músculo-esquelético apresenta uma função importante de sustentação corporal e as perdas relacionadas a sua função interferem na capacidade funcional, conferindo ao idoso um risco aumentado de dependência, fragilização e quedas. A fibromialgia caracteriza-se por dor muscular crônica associada com distúrbio do sono e fadiga que levam o indivíduo acometido a uma perda de qualidade de vida, sendo suas características predominantes vinculadas ao sistema músculo-esquelético. OBJETIVO: analisar as características da função muscular de idosas com e sem fibromialgia através da avaliação da força pelo torque máximo isométrico e isocinético dos extensores e flexores do joelho e a arquitetura muscular do vasto lateral.MÉTODOS: foram recrutadas, por chamado divulgado em jornal de grande circulação no Rio Grande do Sul, mulheres com 60 anos ou mais, não praticantes de atividade física regular. As voluntárias foram divididas em dois grupos: grupo fibromiálgicas (n= 13 - diagnosticadas segundo o Colégio Americano de Reumatologia por uma fisiatra do Serviço de Fisiatria do HSL- PUCRS) e grupo sem fibromialgia (n= 13 - pareadas para idade, altura e massa corporal). Os torques isométrico e isocinético foram obtidos por meio do Biodex System 3 Pro com o quadril em 90° de flexão e os torques de extensão e flexão do joelho avaliados em 70 e 90 graus. A fim de avaliar a arquitetura muscular foi utilizado um aparelho de ultra-som SSD400 por meio de uma sonda de arranjo linear de 40 mm e freqüência de 7,5 MHz, sendo as imagens obtidas no plano sagital no nível de 50% do vasto lateral. O projeto de pesquisa foi aprovado pela Comissão Científica do Instituto de Geriatria e Gerontologia e pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (ofício n° 1583/09). Todas as participantes assinaram um Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido. Na análise estatística não foram detectadas evidências de que as variáveis estudadas não apresentaram uma distribuição normal. Desta forma, nas comparações inter e intra grupos foram utilizados os testes de alinha paramétrica. As análises estatísticas confirmaram a homogeneidade da amostra estudada e os dados receberam tratamento estatístico do software SPSS 13. 0 com nível de significância de 5%.RESULTADOS: a média de idade das idosas foi de 65,7 anos. Para o torque isométrico dos flexores do joelho nos ângulos de 70° e 90°, na relação torque flexor extensor do joelho em 90°; no torque isocinético máximo dos flexores do joelho em 60°/s, na relação torque isocinético flexor-extensor do joelho, encontrou-se diferença significativa, sendo os valores das idosas fibromiálgicas menores que os das sem fibromialgia. Já o torque isométrico dos extensores do joelho nos ângulos de 70° e 90°, o torque máximo normalizado (90°/70°) dos extensores do joelho, a relação torque flexor-extensor do joelho em 70°, o torque isocinético máximo dos extensores do joelho em 60°/s, o comprimento dos fascículos musculares do vasto lateral e o ângulo de penação do vasto lateral não apresentaram diferença entre as idosas com e sem fibromialgia. CONCLUSÃO: os achados deste estudo sugerem que as alterações apresentadas pelas idosas com fibromialgia estão relacionadas às adaptações musculares relacionadas ao desuso e ao descondicionamento físico imposto pelos sintomas dolorosos decorrentes desta síndrome.

Full textIntroduction: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic complex condition characterized by generalized pain, weariness, non-restorative sleep and cognitive impairment, whose prevalence in the population represents values between 0,2 and 6,6%. There are no biological markers, laboratory tests or image exams that validate the disorder, which makes it difficult to diagnose. Objective: Check the viability of using thermography as auxiliar resourse in the diagnosis of fibromyalgia. Methods: It is a cross-sectional descriptive study, where 14 women aged 24 to 66 years were evaluated, being 7 participants of FM group and 7 of control group (CG), without the disease. Pain intensity measuarements were collected, number of tender points (TP), maximum skin temperature in TP regions, evaluated by thermography and morphofunctional change in the thorax by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Results: The groups FM and GC show the biggest skin temperatures in the trunk region (upper view: SA01 and SA02; bottom view SP01 and SP02) and the lowest temperatures in lower members (upper view: IA01 and IA02; bottom view: IP03 and IP04). The count of TP in both groups confirmed that the pain symptomatology is generalized only in FM group. In this group, there was positivity in the 18 points for 4 participants, with 3 points identified in the whole group (TPSA01, TPSA02 and TPSA03). Morphofunctional changes were found in both groups. Of the 4 participants with (FM) that performed MRI, 3 had radiculopathies, while for the GC, the 3 exams performed presented the same results. The thermography detected the influence of adiposity on the capture of images for GC without associated diseases, while for FM group the central and peripheral adiposity did not interfere in thermograms. Conclusion: The results suggest that, despite the importance of using thermography as auxiliary resourse in fibromyalgia diagnosis, it did not have the capacity for the isolated interpretation of clinical signals in the conclusive analysis of the diagnosis.

Full textLos objetivos de esta tesis son los siguientes: en primer lugar, describir las características demográficas, clínicas y psicológicas de una muestra de mujeres afectas de fibromialgia, extraída de la consulta especializada reumatológica, residente en la comarca barcelonesa del Bages y observar su respuesta al tratamiento multidisciplinar en grupo; en segundo lugar y como objetivo principal, analizar si el tratamiento psicológico cognitivo-conductual añade efectos terapéuticos significativos al efecto obtenido por el conjunto de componentes terapéuticos del tratamiento multidisciplinar. Finalmente, conocer las variables que se relacionan con el cambio observado al final del tratamiento multidisciplinar en grupo.
MÉTODO. Una cohorte de 83 mujeres diagnosticadas de fibromialgia conforman la muestra sobre la cual se llevan a cabo tres estudios. El primer estudio es descriptivo de las características demográficas, clínicas y de salud y muestra a su vez las características psicométricas del Cuestionario de Impacto de la Fibromialgia, FIQ, el más usado para este tipo de trastorno y que evalúa la afectación sobre las actividades habituales y la intensidad de los síntomas que la fibromialgia provoca. El segundo estudio es un ensayo clínico controlado y aleatorizado en el que se contrastan los efectos de un programa de tratamiento multidisciplinar en grupo, constituido por atención médica especializada, educación e información sobre el trastorno y rehabilitación física, y los efectos del mismo programa multidisciplinar descrito más tratamiento psicológico de enfoque cognitivo-conductual. El tercero es un estudio de regresión lineal para identificar qué variables tienen poder predictor sobre el cambio terapéutico que se haya observado.
RESULTADOS. Las características demográficas más frecuentes halladas son las equivalentes a un estatus socio-económico bajo o medio-bajo, en mujeres que en su mayoría trabajan como obreras, trabajadoras de servicio o agrarias y que tienen un nivel de estudios primarios o elementales. El grado de afectación tanto de la funcionalidad física y psicológica como de la calidad de vida es de moderado a elevado. El FIQ muestra unas características psicométricas aceptables y aparece como el instrumento más sensible a la sintomatología que conforma la fibromialgia. El tratamiento multidisciplinar básico consigue mejoras significativas en la intensidad de los síntomas, la capacidad funcional y la calidad de vida; sin embargo, la terapia cognitivo-conductual no añade, aunque se acerca, a conseguir un efecto terapéutico significativo mayor al conseguido por el programa sin tratamiento psicológico. Las variables que más se relacionan con esta mejoría son la presencia de fatiga, un número más bajo de puntos sensibles al dolor y las características de personalidad centradas en la persecución de metas propias y realistas.
CONCLUSIONES. Las características de la muestra no difieren de las recogidas previamente por la literatura. Un programa terapéutico basado en dar atención médica para el control de los síntomas, información y educación a las pacientes además de rehabilitación física puede ser suficiente para conseguir mejorías en la intensidad y el impacto del cuadro fibromiálgico. La aplicación de terapia cognitivo-conductual a todos los casos puede no ser necesaria. De la misma forma, se hace recomendable ajustar los programas de ejercicio físico de forma individual. La comorbilidad con la fatiga crónica y con una personalidad orientada hacia los propios intereses favorecen la respuesta al tratamiento.

Full textFibromyalgia (FM) is a syndrome of chronic pain poorly understood. Several researchers point at a possible relation of the course and origin with high susceptibility to stress; but lack clarity about what personal variable take part in the high susceptibility to it front to daily events. It takes as reference the cognitive assessment, referred to the theory transactional of stress. The aim was to identify social and psychological factors that influence in the vulnerability to stress.METHODOLOGY: Qualitative study with grounded theory, conducted in women diagnosed with medical FM according patterns American College of Rheumatology. The parameter for the sample size was information saturation. Interviews are made in depth and a socio-demographic and clinical questionnaire is applied, evaluate psychological variables, functional level and quality of life (STAXI-2, TCI-R, CTI, COOP WONKA, FIQ). As a criterion for quality was taken into account, for reliability were used triangulation of data with a minimum of 85% of agreements. For the validity: the experts discussion, different sources of information and the persistence of concepts and relationships between the various participants., among others. The computer science program, atlas.ti, was used like analysis instrument. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: We studied 10 women between 30 and 63 years, diagnosed with FM. They assessed as poor the social support, related to an alteration of functional type, little socially recognized. This situation increases the susceptibility to the physical and emotional stress. They reveal a structure of values with tradition and benevolence predominance. The structure of values of this group differs with healthy individuals reported in other studies. The beliefs on themselves are revealed in the same direction of their values. There is a resistance to change these cognitive structures which enter conflict with the terms of limiting physical, cognitive and social aspects of the FM. For that reason their beliefs and values are constituted in the main source of physical and psychological stress. The stressful emotions predominate in their experience with the FM, of these the main ones are wrath, sadness, fear, blames, shame; indicating meant of humiliation, lost, self-reproach, and failure in their social identity. The stress experience is greater in youngest by the evaluation of greater social and personal demands. CONCLUSIONS:It is important to work in the modification of the expectations defined by the structure of their values and beliefs. The education to the community, affected and its family on aspects of the FM, and modify factors of social environment, can be ways to diminish the susceptibility to chronic stress and worse clinical condition.

Full textINTRODUCTION: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a syndrome characterized by severe, diffuse, chronic pain and a multitude of symptoms. Flexibility exercises are indicated for the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal pain. Learning about FM, healthy behaviors, and positive perspectives in information processing (resilience) is imperative for individuals with FM. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of two treatments for FM: Treatment A -- flexibility exercises in muscle chains based on the Global Posture Reeducation method and used in concert with an educational approach rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Treatment B -- segmental flexibility exercises used in concert with an educational approach rooted in CBT. METHODS: Forty patients with FM were randomized into two groups: A and B, with 20 in each. The two treatments were performed in ten individual sessions once a week. Two assessments were made, one at baseline and one at the end of treatment. The outcome variables were pain intensity (VAS), multidimensional pain (McGill Questionnaire), pain threshold at tender points (dolorimetry), attitudes toward chronic pain (SOPA-brief), impact of FM on quality of life (FIQ), body posture (PAS/SAPO), flexibility (sit-and-reach test) and postural control (mCTSIB). RESULTS: The groups presented, at the end of treatment, lower pain intensity (baseline vs. final; group A: 6 ± 1.8 vs. 2.2 ± 1.6cm, p < 0.01; group B: 6.4 ± 2.1 vs. 2.5 ± 1.7cm, p < 0.01), lower pain severity (p < 0.05), higher pain threshold (p<=0.01), greater adaptation in attitudes towards chronic pain (p < 0.01), and lower total FIQ score (baseline vs. final; group A: 61 ± 19.8 vs. 38.2 ± 16.6, p < 0.01; group B: 57.2 ± 13.9 vs. 39.3 ± 11.5, p < 0.01). The group A showed statistically significant difference in postural alignment (head, trunk and pelvis), an increase in postural control in one sensory condition and a reduction in two sensory conditions (p < 0.05); group B showed statistically significant difference in postural alignment (head and trunk) (p<=0.05), and an increase in postural control in two sensory conditions (p <= 0.02). There was a relevant clinical improvement in the intensity and severity of pain, pain threshold and quality of life in both groups. At the end of the treatment, there was no statistically significant difference between groups in the outcome variables. CONCLUSIONS: The two physiotherapy treatments reduced the intensity and severity of pain, increased pain threshold in tender points, improved attitudes towards chronic pain and reduced the impact of FM in the quality of life in patients with FM. The two physiotherapy treatments reduced the American College of Rheumatology 2010/2011 FM diagnostic criteria scores at a level that implies the absence of FM at the end of the treatments

Full textThe selected erudite music starting from a predetermined repertory was investigated in this study as alternative therapy in the women care with fibromyalgia. Forty women were submitted for two musical sessions, we observed the interval of one week between the sessions. The pain as well as the physiological parameteres indicative of slackness: heart rate, respiratory rate, trapezius and frontalis muscle, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and cutaneous temperature and all of this parameters were completed by patients perception about musical experience and were appraised before and after each musical session for verification of produce alterations in their results. The enquired women have presented a musical preference that reached to the orchestral songs with reference to the camara music and solo. Among observed physiological signs, the respiratory rate, the electromyographic, the cutaneous temperature and the sistolic blood pressure presented alterations statistically significative on two sessions. The diastolic blood pressure presented significative alterations in the second only. The pain valued by Visual Analogic Scale presented significative reduction after musical session for most of patients, ratified by McGill Pain Questionnaire in all pain extensions that the instrument proposes to analyse (sensitive, affective, and cognitive). The perception of musical experience related by investigated women have evidenced the powerful from this Nursing intevention (95% from those women refered that they have liked very much this therapeutic approach) besides pain relief, many subjective aspects have emerged such as alterations of mood state, facility of introspection, visualization of images and esthetics sensations, among others aspects have demonstrated that their utilization and comprehension to must be amplified.

Full textOur goals in the present study were: - to evaluate sleep macrostructure in patients with Fibromyalgia free from medication; - to investigate if there are changes in sleep macrostructure, after the institution of medical treatment either with Amitriptiline or a combination of Fluoxetin and Cyclobenzaprine; - to evaluate the complaint of pain through the Visual Analogical Scale (VAS) and sleep impairment through an analogous scale so called Sleep Quality Scale (SQS), before and after treatment. Twenty patients (19 women and 1 man) were selected from the Rheumatology Outpatient Clinic of Ribeirão Preto University Hospital University of São Paulo, among those classified as suffering from Fibromyalgia without any current medical treatment for the syndrome. They fulfilled VAS and SQS and were submitted to two polysomnographic recordings (PSG), before and after the introduction of either one of medical treatments, chosen by the Rheumatology staff. As a result, we did not find significant changes in sleep macrostructure, before and after treatment, but an expressive frequency of alpha-delta pattern, in the first PSG (9 out of 20 patients = 45%), which remained unchanged after treatment. Even though, after treatment, there was significant improvement in regard to pain and sleep quality, according to the respective analogical scales. There was a significant increase in both REM latency and N1 percentage, as well as a tendency to increase in sleep efficiency, in the second PSG. Three patients showed periodic limb movements in the second exam, which has been attributed to an effect of the medications, without repercussion in sleep quality according to SQS. Respiratory sleep disorders did not appear to be related to sleep disturbances in fibromyalgia patients, as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was found in 3 out of 20 patients studied (mild degree, in 2, and moderate, in 1). Only 1 of those patients remained with OSA in the second PSG. In conclusion, we observed that patients with fibromyalgia, before starting medical treatment, do not show significant changes in sleep macrostructure, despite of sleep bad quality as referred by SQS. Medical treatment does not significantly modify sleep macrostructure, although improves complaints of pain and auto-evaluated sleep quality. Alpha-delta pattern, a possible marker of non restorative sleep, occurs in fibromyalgia patients independently from the treatment and from the self-attributed improvement in pain and sleep quality, suggesting its possible role as an independent cortical marker, eventually related to the physiopathology of this syndrome, which demands further studies to be determined.

This study aimed to identify the relation between pain, depression and motor control in women with FMS. Twenty-eight women with mean age of 47 years (SD=11,4) and clinical diagnosis of FMS were evaluated. The characteristics of the sample were assessed by Clinical and Social-demographic Questionnaire (KONRAD, 2005) adapted for this research. The perception of depressive symptoms was identified through the Beck Depression Inventory (BECK, RUSH and SHAW, 1961). The assessment of pain characteristics was identified through the items III and IV of the McGill Pain Questionnaire adapted by Castro (1999). The motor control was evaluated through the Reaction Time Assessment Software developed by Andrade et al. (2002) and the Learning and Fine Motor Control Assessment Software (ANDRADE et al. 2003). The data was treated by descriptive statistics (mean, frequency and standard deviation) and inference (Pearson and Spearman correlations and Mann-Whitney test). It was verified positive correlation between overall pain perception and perception of depressive symptoms (r= 0,530, p=0,004) and between perception of depressive symptoms and pain dimensions: affective (r=0,649, p=0,000), subjective (r=0,529, p=0,004) and mixed (r=0,431, p=0,022). It was identified correlation between sensory pain and performance in the last task of the fine motor skills control evaluation (r=0,383, p=0,044). Women who reported pain during the fine motor skills evaluation showed worse performance in this task when compared to women who did not report pain (1st. subtask, p= 0,004; 2nd. Subtask, p=0,037 e 3rd. subtask, p=0,001). The perception of depressive symptoms was also correlated with simple visual RT (r=0,527, p=0,004), simple auditory RT (r=0,604, p=0,001) and discriminative RT (r=0,419, p=0,026). There was no correlation between perception of depressive symptoms and fine motor skills performance. Such results indicate that pain and depression can impair the motor control of these women from two ways: depression can impair the speed processing of information and pain can impair the fine motor skills performance of the women with FMS.
Este estudo objetivou investigar a relação entre controle motor, dor e depressão em mulheres com síndrome de fibromialgia (SFM). Participaram desta pesquisa 28 mulheres com idade média de 47 anos e diagnóstico clínico de SFM. Para a caracterização da amostra foi utilizado o Questionário Sócio-demográfico e Clínico (KONRAD, 2005) adaptado para esta pesquisa. A avaliação das características da dor foi feita por meio dos itens III e IV do Questionário McGill de Dor adaptado por Castro (1999). O Inventário de Depressão de Beck (BECK, RUSH e SHAW, 1961) foi utilizado para mensurar a percepção de sintomas depressivos. O controle motor foi avaliado por meio do Software de avaliação da aprendizagem e controle de habilidades motoras finas (ANDRADE et al., 2003) e do Software de avaliação do tempo de reação (ANDRADE et al., 2002). Os dados foram tratados com estatística descritiva (média, freqüência e desvio padrão) e inferencial (correlação de Pearson e Spearman e teste de Mann- Whitney). Foram encontradas correlações positivas entre a percepção de sintomas depressivos e a percepção geral da dor (r= 0,530, p=0,004) e entre a percepção de sintomas depressivos e as dimensões da dor: afetiva (r=0,649, p<0,001), subjetiva (r=0,529, p=0,004) e mista (r=0,431, p=0,022). Identificou-se correlação positiva entre a avaliação sensorial da dor e a quantidade de erro apresentada pelas participantes na última subtarefa do teste de avaliação do controle de habilidades motoras finas (r=0,383, p=0,044). As mulheres que queixaram-se de dor durante a avaliação do controle de habilidades motoras finas apresentaram resultados significativamente piores nas três subtarefas do teste, se comparadas aquelas que não relataram dor (1ª. subtarefa, p= 0,004; 2ª. subtarefa, p=0,037 e 3ª. subtarefa, p=0,001). Verificou-se correlações positivas entre a percepção de sintomas depressivos e o desempenho no TR simples com estímulo visual (r=0,527, p=0,004), no TR simples com estímulo auditivo ( r=0,604, p=0,001) e no TR de discriminação (r=0,419, p=0,026). Não ocorreu correlação significativa entre a percepção de sintomas depressivos e o desempenho nas habilidades motoras finas. Tais resultados indicam que os sintomas de dor e depressão podem comprometer o controle motor de mulheres fibromiálgicas de diferentes maneiras: os sintomas depressivos podem estar associados à diminuição da velocidade do processamento de informação, enquanto a sensação de dor pode comprometer o desempenho de mulheres com SFM em habilidades motoras finas.

Full textA fibromialgia (FM) se caracteriza por regiões corporais dolorosas, sono não restaurador, fadiga, distúrbios do humor e depressão. Evidências têm demonstrado que a FM esta intimamente associada com o desenvolvimento de sobrepeso e obesidade. Em adição, os distúrbios do sono - que incluem despertares frequentes, sonolência diurna, menor duração e eficiência do sono - são frequentes e altamente incômodos nesses pacientes. Até o momento, a relação entre a ocorrência de sobrepeso e obesidade e os distúrbios no sono é pouco descrita na literatura. Diante disso, o objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar a relação entre obesidade e padrão de sono em mulheres com FM. Participou do estudo o total de 100 mulheres com diagnóstico médico prévio de fibromialgia. Foi avaliada a massa corporal, a estatura (para cálculo do índice de massa corporal), além da aferição da circunferência da cintura. A qualidade da dieta foi avaliada por meio da aplicação de recordatório 24hrs com posterior determinação do Índice de Alimentação Saudável Adaptado (IASad). Análises subjetivas da sonolência diurna (Escala de Sonolência de Epworth - ESS) e qualidade do sono (Índice de Qualidade do Sono de Pittsburgh - PSQI) foram realizadas. Os resultados demonstram uma taxa de obesidade de 41% entre todas as mulheres avaliadas (56,1% eram sonolentas e 43,9% não eram sonolentas; p=0,04). Mulheres obesas demonstraram maior nível de sonolência quando comparadas com as que não eram obesas (10,2 e 7,0, respectivamente; p=0,004), mas essas não diferiram em relação ao tempo de sono (6,9 e 6,6 horas para obesas e não obesas, respectivamente; p=0,41) e qualidade do sono (12,5 e 12,6 horas para obesas e não obesas, respectivamente; p=0,94). Mulheres sonolentas apresentaram maior ganho de peso após o diagnóstico de FM quando comparadas com as mulheres não sonolentas (11,7kg e 6,4kg, respectivamente; p=0,04). Uma correlação positiva entre IMC e sonolência também foi encontrada (r=0,35, p=0,02). Na regressão logística multivariada, a sonolência moderada ou grave (ESS>12) foi associada à obesidade (Odds Ratio=3,44; intervalo de confiança de 95%: 1,31-9,01; p=0,04). Estes resultados demonstram uma importante associação entre sonolência e FM, sugerindo que a ocorrência da obesidade pode estar envolvida com a sonolência nestes pacientes.
