“…Similarly, Naumann et al 24 found moderate-to-strong evidence that therapeutic BT resulted in small improvements in pain and health-related QoL in patients with fibromyalgia. Lima et al 25 also reported that aquatic therapy had significant effects on physical function, QoL, and stiffness in patients with fibromyalgia during a period of longer than 20 weeks. Liu et al 26 observed that mud therapy was a favorable option for pain relief in patients with knee OA.…”

Background: The objectives of this review were to summarize systematic reviews with meta-analysis of balneotherapy (BT) and spa therapy (ST) based on randomized controlled trials, and to provide a perspective for future research. Methods: Eligible studies were systematic reviews based on randomized controlled trials with meta-analysis that included at least one group treated with BT or ST. We searched the following databases for articles published in English from the year 2000 to 20 November 2019: Cochrane Database Systematic Review, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Ichushi-Web. Results: Eighteen studies met all inclusion criteria. Based on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-11, among these 18 studies, 8 (44%) were about "#15 Diseases of the musculoskeletal system or connective tissue", 5 (28%) were about "#21 Symptoms, signs or clinical findings, not elsewhere classified", 4 (22%) were about "#11 Diseases of the circulatory system", and 1 study (6%) was about "#8 Diseases of the nervous system". Both BT and ST provided significant pain relief and improved quality of life in chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissues. Additionally, BT and ST with exercise under water improved physical fitness and function in patients across diseases. Conclusion: Researchers need to conduct studies on the treatment of many kinds of potential diseases using the keywords of pain relief and QoL. In addition, depending on patients' symptoms, physical fitness, and disabilities, performing exercise under water may improve treatment effects on physical function and fitness.

“…In particular, the participants in this study wanted more hydrotherapy after they had completed the programme, highlighting that two sessions were not enough. Aquatic physiotherapy or hydrotherapy is often used as a way for people living with FM to safely and enjoyably increase their physical activity levels, improving physical function and the overall impact of the condition (Bidonde et al, 2014;Lima et al, 2013).…”

Background Fibromyalgia (FM) is a complex long‐term condition associated with pain, fatigue and concentration difficulties. There is limited robust evidence for the effectiveness of pharmacological treatments for FM, with current guidelines recommending nonpharmacological interventions. The clinically developed Fibromyalgia Self‐Management Programme (FSMP) is a nonpharmacological, multidisciplinary education group intervention. The FSMP aims to provide condition‐specific, patient‐centred education and exercise advice, supporting the development of core self‐management skills. This research aimed to map the FSMP to a recommended behaviour change taxonomy (BCT). Methods Non‐participatory observations of the 4‐ and 6‐week FSMP were conducted. Detailed notes on the content of the course, therapist delivery and any additional content not included in the manual were recorded. Subsequently, semistructured interviews were conducted with both therapists (n = 4) and patients (n = 9). Observation and a review of the FSMP manual data were deductively coded to the BCT. Interview data were added to the framework. Results The review of the FSMP manual and observations of the course showed that the programme coded onto 12 of the 16 BCT domains, encompassing 22 behaviour change techniques. Both patient and therapist interviews indicated that patients made positive changes, including increased activity levels, pacing, better quality sleep and improved communication with family members. Patients reported improvements to symptoms as a result of attending the course. Conclusions The FSMP utilises a range of behaviour change techniques. Patients who attend the course feel supported to make changes to their behaviour, enabling them to manage their symptoms more effectively.

Açık etiketli klinik çalışmamız, tetik noktaları olan fibromyalji hastalarında kuru iğneleme yapılmasının uyku sorunları üzerine etkisinin araştırılması amacıyla yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Poliklinikte görülen en az altı aydır fibromiyalji tanısı ile takip edilmekte olan düzenli medikal tedavi altında bulunan üst trapez ve rhomboid kaslarında tetik noktaları olan toplamda 100 hastanın bilgilendirilmiş onamları alındı. Tüm hastalar öncelikle FEA (Fibromiyalji Etki Anketi), BDÖ (Beck Depresyon Ölçeği), PUKİ (Pittsburg Uyku Kalite İndeksi) ve VAS (Visuel Ağrı Skalası) ile değerlendirildi. Hastalar bilgisayar yardımlı basit randomizasyon ile iki gruba ayrıldı. Çalışma grubunda tetik noktaları olan 50 fibromiyalji hastasına birer hafta arayla toplamda 3 kez olmak üzere üst trapez ve rhomboid kaslarına toplamda kuru iğne uygulandı. Kontrol grubundaki tetik noktaları olan 50 fibromiyalji hastasına ise herhangi bir iğneleme yapılmadı. Tüm hastaların (tüm çalışma ve kontrol grupları) ilk değerlendirme anketlerinden bir ay sonra, FEA, BDI, PUKİ puanları yine kontrol edildi ve hastalar VAS (Visuel ağrı ölçeği) tarafından sorgulandı.
