Brief summary

The aim of this study is to decrease the impact of the fibromyalgia on the daily quality of life of the patients suffering of moderate fibromyalgia at 6 months by the practice of an adapted physical activity coupled with therapeutic education workshop.

Detailed description

Fibromyalgia is chronic pain syndrome expressed as fluctuacting musculotendinous or articular pain and chronic tiredness. Among the non-pharmacological treatments, apart the psychological accompanying, the EULAR (European League Against Reumatism) recommends the physical activity in first intention. Thus, physical reconditioning has an important place in fibromyalgia. Aerobic conditioning or reconditioning programs for effort induce for some patients a benefit on quality of life, tiredness and pain. In France, these programmes are mostly carried out in follow-up and rehabilitation type care structures. Outdoor exercise re-training with the Intelligent Electric Bike for Health combined with therapeutic education sessions are proposed in the study. These activities, adapted to each group and patient, can best achieve the objective in an ambulatory format closer to the patient's daily life.

Interventions

Intervention model description

Immediate intervention group : fibromyalgia patients consulting in Grenoble Alps University Hospital who will practice, in the 2 months following the randomization, an ambulatory activity combining rehabilitation and therapeutic education, using an Intelligent Electric Bike for the Health during 8 weeks (2 times by week). Deferred intervention group : fibromyalgia patients consulting in Grenoble Alps University Hospital who will practice, one year after the inclusion, an ambulatory activity combining rehabilitation and therapeutic education, using an Intelligent Electric Bike for the Health during 8 weeks (2 times by week).

Inclusion criteria

* Patient aged 18 and over * Patient available for a following of 18 months * Patient available for go to sessions of Intelligent Electric Bike for the Health, 2 half-day by week during 8 weeks in the 2 months following the randomization. * confirmed fibromyalgia according to the criteria of the American College of Rhumatology 2010 since at least one year with a stable treatment since at least 3 months. * Patients with a score of 39 ≤ FIQ \< 59 (moderate fibromyalgia impact) * Patient in capacity to pedal on a bike outside. * Patient who haven't contraindications at the practice of an moderate physical activity or bike (acute coronary pathology less than 2 years, locomotor problems of the spine or lower limbs incompatible with the bike practice). * Weight lower than 125 kg (maximal load for the Intelligent Electric Bike for the Health). * Patient having signed the written consent after appropriate information and delivery of the information note. * Patient affiliated at the social security or beneficiary of such a scheme

Exclusion criteria

* Substantial variation of the therapeutic care in the 3 months previous the inclusion (change of drug class, beginning of physical reconditioning in an unit of follow-up and rehabilitation care, or a cognitive-behavioral technique) * Patient with treatement which can deteriorate the attention * Patient suffering of a serious chronic desease destabilized (acute coronary pathology and/ or CVA in the last 6 months, serious asthma, serious heart failure, respiratory, lung or kidney failure, progressive inflammatory rheumatic disease…) * Women under contraception and with a pregnancy project * Patient already includes in a research protocol involving the human person * Protected persons

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Decrease the impact of the fibromyalgia on the daily quality of life of the patients suffering of moderate fibromyalgia at 6 months by the practice of an adapted physical activity coupled with therapeutic education.6 monthsEvolution of the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) at 6 months compared to baseline.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Compare the percentage of patients who achieve an FIQ<39 at 6 months (threshold defining an fibromyalgia impact weak).6 monthsPercentage comparison of the patients who achieve an FIQ\<39 at 6 months.
Evaluate in a global way the disease evolution according to the 4 axis of the EULAR (pain, tiredness, sleep quality, physical activity).3, 6 and 12 monthsEvolution of fibromyalgia between the inclusion, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months according to the hetero-evaluation by a doctor of the global health state.
Improve self-esteem3, 6 and 12 monthsImprovement of the score de Rosenberg between the inclusion, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months.
Improve the mood3, 6 and 12 monthsImprovement of the questionnaire HADS between the inclusion, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months.
Improve the global quality of life3, 6 and 12 monthsImprovement of the questionnaire EQD-3L between the inclusion, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months.
Diminuate the health care consumption of the subjects at 3, 6 and 12 months compared to baseline.3, 6 and 12 monthsDecrease of the pharmacological consumption (by therapeutic class : analgesic, antidepressant, antiepileptic, other), medical and paramedical consultation, hospitalization, professional absenteeism, resort to complementary medicine between the inclusion, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months.
Evaluation of the kinetic of the evolution at the inclusion, at short-term (3 months), at medium-term (6 months) and at long-term (12 months) of the FIQ (Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire).3, 6 and 12 monthsEvolution of the FIQ score between the inclusion, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months.
Study the impact of the Fibrovelis program on the evolution of the muscular parameter.3 months (second to last trip of the intervention program).Change from baseline of the muscular parameters record by the Intelligent Electric Bike for the Health during an standardized stress test repeted at the end of after the intervention program.
Study the impact of the Fibrovelis program on the evolution of cardio-respiratory physiological efficiency parameter.3 months (second to last trip of the intervention program).Change from baseline of the cardio-respiratory physiological parameters record by the Intelligent Electric Bike for the Health during an standardized stress test repeted at the end of after the intervention program.
Evaluate the remanence of the long-term effect for the immediate intervention group18 monthsEvolution of the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) and principal secondary outcomes at 18 months compared to Baseline for the immediate intervention group.
Evaluate the effect size of the intervention between 12 and 18 months for the diferred intervention group.12 and 18 monthsEvolution of the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) and principal secondary outcomes at 18 months compared to 12 months for the diferred intervention group.
In the 2 groups, describe and analyze the effort adaptation in a population suffering of moderate fibromyalgia according the muscular power parameters.3 monthsChange from Baseline of the muscular power data.
In the 2 groups, describe and analyze the effort adaptation in a population suffering of moderate fibromyalgia according the cardio respiratory parameters.3 monthsChange from Baseline of the cardio respiratory physiological data.
