Resistance exercise training for fibromyalgia

Abstract

The evidence (rated as low quality) suggested that moderate- and moderate- to high-intensity resistance training improves multidimensional function, pain, tenderness, and muscle strength in women with fibromyalgia. The evidence (rated as low quality) also suggested that eight weeks of aerobic exercise was superior to moderate-intensity resistance training for improving pain in women with fibromyalgia. There was low-quality evidence that 12 weeks of low-intensity resistance training was superior to flexibility exercise training in women with fibromyalgia for improvements in pain and multidimensional function. There was low-quality evidence that women with fibromyalgia can safely perform moderate- to high-resistance training.

The role of physical activity and psychological coping strategies in the management of painful diabetic neuropathy – A systematic review of the literature

“…Guidance from the British Pain Society stresses that engagement with multidisciplinary pain programmes cannot be coerced [20] and assessment must be made of the person's readiness to adopt alternative physical and M a n u s c r i p t psychological behaviours. Otis et al [38] note that dropout occurred by session three of eleven, we suggest a possible explanation that participants were not sufficiently engaged in CBT to stay the course. An important consideration in future trials of nonpharmacological interventions for PDN is to explore reasons for refusal to participate and drop out.…”

“…The attrition rates (23-33%) do not reflect other studies of pain rehabilitation, for instance a Cochrane review of exercise for fibromyalgia syndrome found attrition rates between 0-18% [38]. While fibromyalgia has a range of symptoms, it does not affect multiple bodily systems in the same manner as diabetes.…”

The (putative) pathological impact of fibromyalgia on the orofacial system

“…Dit eff ect is onomstotelijk bewezen voor begeleide oefeningen op het ritme van muziek, aerobics genoemd, en in iets mindere mate voor krachttraining (Busch et al, 2007). Voor training onder progressieve weerstand, met de bedoeling de spieren te versterken en de spierkracht te doen toenemen, is zwak bewijs gevonden voor de eff ectiviteit bij vrouwen met fi bromyalgie, maar de eff ectiviteit van aerobics bleek sterker (Busch et al, 2013). Een nieuwe tak aan de boom van fysieke therapie is het onder begeleiding van een fysiotherapeut uitvoeren van lichamelijke oefeningen terwijl men tot middel-, borstof schouderhoogte in water staat, aquatraining genoemd.…”

Health Benefits of Exercise

“…2013 yılında yayınlanan Cochrane derlemesinde, FMS'li kadın hastalarda; orta ve orta-yüksek şiddetteki dirençli egzersizler ile fonksiyon ve ağrıda düzelme, kas gücünde artış sağlandığı ve aerobik egzersizlerin orta şiddet dirençli egzersizlerden daha etkin olduğuna dair düşük kalitede kanıt olduğu bildirilmiştir (48).…”
