Effectiveness of a self-myofascial conditioning programme on pain, depression, anxiety and sleep quality in people with Fibromyalgia
Abstract
Self-myofascial release can facilitate the diminution or disappearance of the intense pain perceived by the nerve endings located in the myofascial tissue. According to some researchers, fibromyalgia (FM) can be directly related to the "central sensitization" theory. The present study aims to determine the effectiveness of the application of a self-myofascial conditioning programme on pain, depression, anxiety, and quality of sleep in people diagnosed with Fibromyalgia (FM). The sample was randomly assigned to intervention (n = 33) and control groups (n = 33). Subjects in the intervention group took part in a self-myofascial conditioning programme, which consisted of 40 sessions of 50 minutes each. Pre and post-intervention measurements were taken. Results were obtained by a 2x2 ANOVA for repeated measures with two factors (time and group). Results show that, after completing the programme, subjects in the intervention group had seen a significant decrease in general pain (p < 0,01), level of depression (p < 0,05), state (p < 0,01) and trait anxiety (p < 0,01), as well as three subscales related to the quality of sleep, such as “sleep subjective quality” (p < 0,05), “habitual sleep efficiency” (p < 0,05) and “daily dysfunction” (p < 0,001). These results indicate that participating in a self-myofascial conditioning programme regularly and under the control of a physical education and sport professional can affect patients with FM positively both physically and psychologically.
