Summary

The aim of our study is to determine and compare the effects of perceptive rehabilitation against other mobilization techniques on the treatment of fibromyalgia symptoms and disability. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to three separate groups using a random allocation software program, the three groups receiving either perceptive rehabilitation (PR-group), mobilization techniques (Mob-group), or neither (the control group, C-group).

Conditions

  • Fibromyalgia

Interventions

OTHER

Perceptive Rehabilitation

In each session, over one hundred cones will be placed on a rigid wooden base using elastic strips. The patient will be asked to lie down supine on the material. Patients weigh will create pressure and reaction force to his/her body. Treatments will be 2 times a week till 8 weeks. The therapist will ask the patient firstly to breathe normally and feel the pressure. The patient will then perform breathing exercises and active exercises (including stretching, warming up, and cooling down) under supervision. During the session, the therapist will ask about the pressure of the cones and will correct the patient's posture. At the end of each session, the therapist will photograph the patient's back with the aim of documenting the pressure and hyperaemic areas.

OTHER

Mobilisation Techniques

A certified physiotherapist will perform mobilisation techniques. All participants in this group will receive treatment protocol according to the list on below. Treatments will be 2 times a week till 8 weeks. For this treatment, the participant should lie on a bed and change their position according to the technique (supine, position or side-lying). Also, the therapist will be changing her position according to the technique. All technique will be on the range of motion limit. For releasing techniques the therapist will apply three-dimensional pressures till 3-5 minutes, with the feeling of relaxing therapist will change the limit for the next point.
