“…Additionally, our previous study showed that pain intensity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients decreased after 20 min bathing in sulphurized mineral water as compared to tap water baths [ 15 ] and increasing pain thresholds in healthy subjects [ 16 ] . Such short-term eff ects have also been shown in FMS patients [ 8 ] . Sulphur is well absorbed from bath via the skin.…”

Objective: Since the difficulties to provide effective treatment for fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) patients, several studies have been performed in order to find best treatment, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments. One of possibilities in non-pharmacological treatments for chronic pain patients is balneotherapy. Sulphur bath treatment is one of balneotherapies which is known as being useful for pain patients. Our previous studies showed that sulphur bath treatment could reduce the pain in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Hence, we evaluated the long term effect of sulphur bathing in FMS patients. Method: In this study, we investigated 32 female FMS patients who matched the criteria of American College of Rheumatology. The patients were randomized into 2 groups. First group was treated with sulphur based bath (20.4?mg/l) and the control group which was only treated with tap water. Both groups were treated 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Main outcome parameter was Lautenschl?ger pain score. Additional parameters were pressure and heat and cold pain thresholds. Results: Lautenschl?ger pain score significantly reduced in 4 week duration serial sulphur bath but not in control group (treatment group: =???16.6?3.6; control group: =3.8?4.1; p<0.001). However, the effect did not show statistically significance after 3 months of follow-up. In addition, after 4 weeks of treatment, pressure pain threshold values were significantly different in sulphur bath group compared to control group (treatment group: =10.6?0.2; control group: =3.7?1.9; p<0.05). This effect was not seen in heat pain (treatment group: =???0.19?0.1; control group: =2.5?1.4; p>0.05) and cold pain (treatment group: =???1.89?0.8; control group: =??2.0?0.6; p>0.05) thresholds. Conclusion: Although this study is only pilot study and only have small number of patients, however this study is promising that H2S could be an alternative methods for FMS treatment.

“…Ein Review von Verhagen [8] Gutenbrunner et al [12] haben die Auswirkung des 20-minütigen Schwefelwasserbades im Vergleich zur Kryotherapie eines Armes untersucht. Beide Therapieformen haben nach der Anwendung neben der Verbesserung des Wohlbefindens im Allgemeinen auch zu einer Verminderung der Schmerzintensität und zu einem deutlichen Anstieg der Schmerzschwelle geführt.…”

Fibromyalgia is a frequent disorder of the middle aged, particularly in women characterized by diffuse and widespread pain, and tenderness on palpation at characteristic sites, called tender points. Additional characteristic symptoms of fibromyalgia are fatigue, sleep disturbances, irritable bowel and bladder syndrome, chronic headaches, paresthesia, hearing and vestibular dysfunction. The etiology remains poorly understood. Diagnosis is based on characteristic symptoms, presence of tender points and exclusion of similar confounding conditions. Because of the unknown etiology, all therapies are symptomatic. Interdisciplinary combined treatments can relief the pain in about 50% of the patients.
