“…Education on pain neurophysiology is a strategy that teaches the biological process of pain and its relationship with central sensitization [1][2][3] in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain such as fibromyalgia (FM), which can influence the poorly adaptive and negative cognitions related to pain, reducing it and improving movement behavior and performance 1,4 . FM treatment is interdisciplinary, combining pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments 5 , such as aerobic exercise 5 , resistance exercise 6 , cognitive-behavioral therapy 7 , drugs 8 , as well as pain education 2 . The latter produces changes in the therapist-patient relationship, where the patient becomes the protagonist in the therapeutic process, which is why socio-educational interventions are recommended by international guidelines in the treatment of FM 9 .…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Doubts and questions about the general aspects of pain, maladaptive beliefs, knowledge about pain neurophysiology, and its impact on exercise are common in fibromyalgia patients. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge about pain in women with fibromyalgia through the DolorÔmetro game. METHODS: A quasi-experimental study with a qualitative and quantitative approach. Twenty women with a clinical diagnosis of fibromyalgia and aged 18 to 60 years were evaluated. The patients answered two questions at the beginning and end of the game. The intervention consisted of the use of 9 cards from the six domains of the game DolorÔmetro to motivate discussions about the theme. RESULTS:The sample had a mean age of 50.6±9.6 years and a diagnostic time of 6.5±4.6 years. The number of hits and errors in each domain was observed. In the "acceptance" domain, four errors were found in statement 1 and twelve in statement 2. In the "attitudes" domain, only two in statement 4 and one in statement 8. In the "kinesiophobia" domain, all errors were only in statement 2. In the "knowledge" domain, nineteen women missed statement 3. In the "anxiety" domain, fifteen women missed statement 1. Finally, in the "catastrophic" domain, ten women missed statement 2. CONCLUSION: Conducting an education in pain, lasting in one hour in a single moment, contributed to the participants expressing their doubts and previous questions and after the moment of education, however doubts persisted in the domains of acceptance, kinesiophobia, knowledge and anxiety.

“…In Brazil, this estimate is 2%, and women in the age range between 35 and 60 years are the most affected. This disease is also the second most frequent cause of consultations in rheumatology clinics and a public health problem that requires greater attention from researchers and/or professionals who provide care for these patients 5 .…”

“…It is known that non-pharmacological treatment is effective in reducing the symptoms of FM. Aerobic exercises (walking and cycling), resistance exercices and stretching are especially effective to minimize chronic pain and promote well-being 5 . Physical exercise stimulates the release of endorphin which in turn acts as an antidepressant, and also facilitates neuroendocrine changes that improve mood 6,7 .…”

“…Physical exercise stimulates the release of endorphin which in turn acts as an antidepressant, and also facilitates neuroendocrine changes that improve mood 6,7 . However, the literature emphasizes that because of intense pain and the attempt to prevent the exacerbation of symptoms, FM patients usually become inactive and vulnerable to the "vicious cycle", which includes physical inactivity, worsening of the health status, and loss of quality of life 5,6 .…”

This study analyzed the association between physical activity, health status and life quality among women with fibromyalgia. Cross-sectional study based on the clinical information of 177 women (42.1 ± 8.6 years old) diagnosed with fibromyalgia and assisted in rheumatology clinics of the private sector of the Unified Health System (UHS) in the city of Maringá-PR, Brazil. The instruments were the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) and the WHOQOL-Bref. Data analysis was conducted through Mann-Whitney test, Spearman correlation and Structural Equation Analysis (p<0.05). Results showed positive correlations between physical activity and life quality domain. Health status showed negative correlation life quality domains. Structural Equation Analysis revealed days of walking per week showed positive association with life quality domains. Model 3 showed that the impact of fibromyalgia on the health status showed a moderate negative association with life quality domains. Based on the results obtained, the conclusion is that light physical activity, characterized as walking, represents a positive factor in the domains of quality of life in women with fibromyalgia and also, the impact of this disease on the health status of the patients is associated negatively areas of quality of life RESUMO Este estudo analisou a associação entre atividade física, estado de saúde e qualidade de vida de mulheres com fibromialgia. Estudo transversal baseado na informação clínica de 177 mulheres (42,1 ± 8,6 anos) diagnosticadas com fibromialgia e auxiliadas em clínicas de reumatologia do setor privado do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) na cidade de Maringá-PR, Brasil. Os instrumentos utilizados foram o Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ), o Questionário de Impacto da Fibromialgia (FIQ) e o WHOQOL-Bref. A análise dos dados foi realizada através do teste de Mann-Whitney, correlação de Spearman e Análise de Equações Estruturais (p <0,05). Os resultados mostraram correlações positivas entre a atividade física e o domínio da qualidade de vida. O estado de saúde apresentou correlações negativas com a qualidade de vida. A Análise de Equação Estrutural revelou que os dias de caminhada por semana se associou positivamente com domínios de qualidade de vida. O modelo 3 mostrou que o impacto da fibromialgia no estado de saúde apresentou associação negativa e moderada com os domínios de qualidade de vida. Com base nos resultados obtidos, conclui-se que a atividade física leve, caracterizada pela caminhada, representa um fator positivo nos domínios da qualidade de vida em mulheres com fibromialgia e também, o impacto desta doença sobre o estado de saúde dos pacientes está associado negativamente domínios da qualidade de vida.
