Summary

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of Vestibular Rehabilitation for improving balance and quality of life of patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome (SFM). Recruited subjects will be randomly assigned to an experimental group or control group (placebo). The experimental group will receive a standard Vestibular Rehabilitation program focused on eye stabilization and Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR) gain with the aim of improving motor and sensory strategies, while the control group will carry out a conventional rehabilitation program that will not include sensory strategy training. The frequency of treatment for both groups will be twice/week, along with daily performing (2 times/day, 5 days/week) of exercises at home. The total duration will be 8 weeks. The outcome measure are: disease impact (FIQ), perceived vertigo (DHI), and confidence in balance (ABC), at pre-treatment, post-treatment, one month follow-up and three months follow-up.

Conditions

  • Fibromyalgia
  • Vestibular Disease
  • Postural Balance
  • Vestibular Rehabilitation

Interventions

OTHER

Vestibular Rehabilitation Exercises

The Vestibular Rehabilitation program focuses on stabilizing the gaze and gaining the Vestibular Ocular Reflex (VOR). The general mechanisms of recovery from vestibular injuries are vestibular adaptation and replacement exercises, which are designed to improve gaze stability and the interaction between sight and the vestibular system during head movements. The exercises will be carried out progressively according to the tolerance of the patient, varying the stimulus in intensity and frequency.

OTHER

Conventional Rehabilitation exercises

The conventional rehabilitation program in which exercises are performed to improve joint range, flexibility, and gait. It will always be done with the eyes open, on a firm surface and will not include training in sensory strategies
