Pilates training improves pain and quality of life of women with fibromyalgia
            syndrome

Introduction: Although the Pilates method is commonly used to treat fibromyalgia (FM) in clinical practice, research is scarce, and little is known about its real effectiveness in pain management. Objective: Systematically review the literature to determine whether Pilates affects pain control in FM patients. Methods: The PubMed, Science Direct, PEDro and Cochrane databases were searched to identify randomized controlled trials that investigated the effects of Pilates in individuals diagnosed with FM. The descriptors used were: “pilates based exercise” OR “pilates training” OR “pilates exercise” OR “pilates” AND “fibromyalgia.” Independent reviewers performed abstract/full-text screening, data extraction, and methodological quality assessments using the PEDro scale. Results: The search identified 646 potential articles, four of which were used in the analysis. The Pilates method had positive effects on pain control, physical function, quality of life and biopsychosocial factors such as stress and depression in individuals with FM in four studies. However, improvement in these parameters did not differ between intervention groups in three studies. Additionally, the control group showed no significant improvement for the same parameters in one study. The PEDro scale scores of the studies ranged from 6 to 8 points. Conclusion: Evidence suggests that Pilates influences pain control in individuals with FM, and is more effective than no intervention or minimal intervention in the treatment of FM.

“…The research on the quality of life of the patient with fibromyalgia is unanimous in the use of FIQ as a validated instrument. Since the higher incidence of use is the measurement of the effectiveness of therapeutic methods, as occurs for Komatsu et al (2016) [14], Kawakami et al (2014) [15], Silva et al (2012) [16], Letiere et al (2013) [17].…”

“…The exercises in the aquatic environment provide doubly therapeutic effects in relation to exercise mechanically and hydrotherapy, corresponding to immersion and muscular relaxation [21]. Komatsu (2016) [14] by using the pilates as a physiotherapeutic treatment showed improvement in QL and the reduction in painful points in volunteers with fibromyalgia. Letieri (2013) [17] and Silva et al (2012) [16] also evaluated patients treated in the aquatic environment through hydrotherapy kinesiotherapy and also achieved great results when compared the.…”

Background: The use of specific evaluation instruments in research demonstrates the reliability of criteria and reliability of the results, giving significance to the context. Methods: Through a search of an online database (LILACS, MEDLINE and SCIELO).Results: This systematic review selected 6 research articles that used FIQ as a collection instrument and presented the results in a total score. It was identified the predominance of research in the southern region, and the quality of life of fibromyalgia patients is significantly reduced for all samples analyzed.Conclusions: There is a need for research and qualified professionals throughout the country to meet the needs of this complex clinical picture.

“…Fibromyalgia consists of a complex pathology with the characteristic of diffuse and chronic pain and the presence of hyperalgic areas. Clinically manifested by the presence of painful points in the muscles, there is no inflammation or degeneration of the tissues, being a chronic nonprogressive syndrome [1]. For more than 20 years after its emergence in 1824, fibrositis was called fibrositis, a characteristic inflammation of muscle rheumatism accompanied by specific muscle areas sensitive to digit pressure.…”

Introduction:Fibromyalgia is a rheumatic syndrome that mainly affects women, being more common in the age group between 30 and 55 years of age, with reports of diffuse and chronic pain for more than three months. Despite the presence of hyperalgic points called "tender points" there Alves et al.; JAMMR, 31(10): 1-14, 2019; Article no.JAMMR.53660 2 is no evidence of deformities to organs and joints. Its confirmation is clinical after the exclusion of other pathologies. Objective: The objective of this research aims to analyze the clinical picture and sleep quality in patients with fibromyalgia, coming from the School of Physiotherapy Clinic of Gurupi University. Materials and Methods: The research has a qualiquantitative character, consisting of 22 female participants, divided into 2 groups: Experimental Group (EG -11 participants) and Control Group (CG -11 participants), all of whom came from the School of Physiotherapy Clinic of Gurupi University. For the collection of information, questions were used semi-structured, which were: 1) Identification form (preparedby academics to register participants and identify information about the previous history of the disease); 2) Questionnaire of perception of the disease (collected through an interview directed and recorded by undergraduates and later transcribed) and, 3) Pittsburgh's sleep qua-dealing index. The entire protocol was performed after 20 treatment sessions, both for the experimental group and for the control group, according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results were descriptively analyzed according to the tabulation in Microsoft Office ® (2010) and inferential with significance p<0.05, through the Program SPSS 18.0. Results: The results show a decrease in the perception of the quality of life, through sleep quality. Discursive findings show the binding of fibromyalgia with depression, chronic pain and discouragement. The statistical results show a picture of little quality of restorative sleep because more than half of the interviewees say they take to sleep, have bad dreams and raise several times during the night. It is noteworthy that most volunteers said they could sleep more than 6 hours a night with sleep efficiency greater than 85%, only half of the sample confirmed eating, between 3 or more times, sleeping medications. Conclusion: The reports analyzed showed the relevance in improving the quality of life of the participants undergoing treatment. However, the statistical data alone did not present a significant differentiation between the participants of the control group and the experimental group. Only when observing, sleep quality tends to be better for participants who are having a physiotherapeutic follow-up. Original Research Article
