“…Fibromyalgia syndrome is a health problem affecting between 3 and 6% of the world population aged between 20 and 50 years old, and is more frequent in women than in men (Wolfe et al, 1995;González-González et al, 2015). In Spain, it affects approximately to 700,000 people, 2-4% of the general population over the age of 20.…”

The aims of this study were to assess the functional level of women with fibromyalgia; to investigate the differences in the occupational activities between women with fibromyalgia and healthy women; and to analyse the perceived importance of occupational performance during self-care, productivity and leisure activities. A cross-sectional case control study was performed. Twenty women with fibromyalgia and 20 healthy women completed the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), a Numerical Pain Rating Scale, the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire and the SF-36 health survey. The Chi-square test (χ2), the Student's t test and the Spearman's test were used on the data. The FIM revealed significant differences regarding several activities: personal hygiene, bathing and memory (p < 0.01). The COPM scores did not reveal significant differences between groups (p > 0.10). Women with fibromyalgia had higher disability and reduced quality of life and required greater assistance to perform specific activities of daily living, i.e. hygiene, than healthy women. This highlights the specific occupational therapy needs these women have for performing many basic activities and for improving their quality of life. Limitations of the study include the small sample size, the exclusion of male participants and the possible influence of the women's psychological status on the assessments performed. Findings should be generalized with caution. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…In the assessment of unrefreshing sleep, the 46.03% of patients assessed this symptom as 3 (maximum degree) before receiving the intervention, in contrast to 3.17% in the evaluation at six months (p = 0.01). Concerning cognitive disorders, referred to as at- Unlike the AtlasProfilax method, which is a non-invasive, risk-and-complication-friendly method that requires only one intervention, other treatments such as physiotherapy, acupuncture and symptomatic treatment have not presented such clear and promising results (26)(27)(28).…”

IntroductIon: Fibromyalgia is a condition that affects up to 5% of the population and causes significant deterioration of the quality of life for the sufferer, so it is a therapeutic challenge. The objective of the present study was to describe the experience of the AtlasPROfilax® method in patients with fibromyalgia diagnosed according to the criteria of the American College of Reumatology (ACR) 2010.Methodology: A cross -sectional study with 63 patients with fibromyalgia was done. Patients were monitored two and six months after applying the AtlasPROfilax® method, in order to evaluate the pain level by visual analogue scale VAS and reevaluate ACR criteria in the follow-up appointment.results: The average age of patients was 48.5 SD 12.6 years, 95.24% were female. 100% of patients improved pain (initial VAS of 8 vs 4 and 3 after two and six months respectively) and these were significant results. A reduction of widespread pain index as well as a reduction in the presence of symptoms such as fatigue, non-restorative sleep and cognitive disorders that are typical of fibromyalgia were also found in 46% of cases conclusIon: This study has provided evidence of the effectiveness of the neuromuscular stimulation method of the suboccipital musculature called AtlasPROfilax® in the treatment of fibromyalgia. Randomized and controlled studies are required to demonstrate the medium and long term effectiveness of this therapeutic alternative.

“…Limited research exists regarding multimodal approaches such as aerobic, flexibility, and resistance exercises to reduce pain in PWH. Multimodal approaches such as aerobic, flexibility, and resistance exercises have been found to be effective at reducing pain in individuals with osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and rheumatoid arthritis (Gonzalez Gonzalez et al, 2015; Hagen et al, 2012; Stavropoulos‐Kalinoglou et al, 2013) and are also associated with improved physical function (Gonzalez Gonzalez et al, 2015; Latorre et al, 2013; Westcott, 2012) in individuals with fibromyalgia. Overall further research is needed regarding the associations of physical activity and reduced symptom experience in PWH.…”

People with HIV (PWH) experience a high frequency of symptoms that are associated with poor clinical outcomes. We conducted a secondary analysis of data from an observational study to examine whether diet, muscle strength, or physical activity were associated with symptoms among PWH and their HIV‐uninfected peers. One‐hundred ninety‐one individuals (105 PWH and 86 HIV uninfected) with similar age and race were included. Symptoms were examined using the Patient‐Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS‐29) questionnaire, for which lower scores indicate higher function or fewer symptoms. The total healthy eating index score and carbohydrates, sugar sweet beverages, alcohol, and fiber consumption per day were obtained through 24‐hour dietary recalls. A dynamometer was used to determine muscle strength. Steps per day were examined through 7 days of actigraphy. Linear regression analyses were used to determine the relationship between symptoms and diet, muscle strength, and steps per day. Participants were, on average, 54 years, 83% were African American, and 58% were male. In PWH, less healthy eating, fiber intake, and muscle strength were associated with poorer physical function; more steps per day were associated with fatigue; less daily carbohydrate consumption was associated with more pain. HIV‐uninfected individuals demonstrated an association between fewer steps per day and poorer physical function and more pain, and less carbohydrate intake and more sleep disturbance. The relationships between diet, muscle strength, steps per day and PROMIS‐29 health domains differed by HIV status.
