No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the induced-pain characteristics after suprathreshold pressure stimulation at different intensities in fibromyalgia subjects, compared with healthy volunteers.

Conditions

  • Fibromyalgia

Interventions

DEVICE

Suprathreshold pain stimulation

Suprathreshold pain stimulation will be applied in the infraspinatus muscle (point equidistant between the midpoint of the spine of the scapula, the inferior angle of the scapula and the midpoint of the medial border of the scapula) with a pressure algometer (Force Ten ™, Wagner Instruments, USA). Four suprathreshold pressure stimulations (pressure pain threshold + 20%, +30%, +40% and +50%) will be made for 60 seconds, with a minimum rest of 5 minutes between each stimulation. The sequence of stimulation (ascending or descending) will be randomized.
