Summary

Our study was conducted to investigate the effect of scapular stabilization exercise training on cervical posture and pain in fibromyalgia. 59 patients aged 18-60 years were included in the study. The patients included in the study were diagnosed with fibromyalgia from the physical therapy outpatient clinic and individuals who did not have any other disease were included. The included individuals were divided into 2 groups by randomization method. Individuals were divided into scapula exercise therapy group (n=29) and classical exercise therapy group (n=30). Hotpack, tens and ultrasound applications were applied to both groups as conventional treatment before exercise. This protocol was applied to both groups for 6 weeks, 5 days a week. Following this protocol, classical shoulder exercises were given to the classical group and stabilization exercises were given to the scapular stabilization group. While the study designer applied the treatment, another designer applied the evaluation. The patients were evaluated for pain, cervical posture, functional status, and quality of life. pain was evaluated with a visual analog scale (vas), cervical posture was evaluated by tragus-wall distance, functional status was evaluated with fibromyalgia impact questionnaire and quality of life was evaluated with nottingam quality of life questionnaire. All evaluations were performed twice before and at the end of the treatment (6 weeks).
