CitationJ Jerabek, A Bordon, R Pineda. Complex balneo-physiatric treatment in fibromyalgia: A pilot study.Abstract 19 patients meeting CDC criteria for fibromyalgia (FM) were treated. The treatment consisted of warm water hydrotherapy performed in bathtub with hydrojets, dry CO2 bathes, pulsed magnetotherapy, ultrasonotherapy applying capsaicin ointment and manual techniques for 2 weeks. All the mayor fibromyalgia impact questionnaire, McGill short questionnaire and additional variables improved at high statistical significance level. Up to date the worst improvement period lasted for 4 months. The most difficult cases were those, where cervical spondylitis was diagnosed together with FM. The mechanism of action of factors applied is discussed.
