Brief summary

Lyme borreliosis, commonly known as Lyme disease, has been clinically described for more than a century, but has been officially recognized for 40 years, with the detection of the Borrelia bacterium by W. Burgdorfer, in ticks of the Ixodes ricinus complex, identified a few years before.

Detailed description

Apart from the early localized presentation, with a well established treatment, Lyme borreliosis is a complex infection. Indeed, its presentation can be late and very polymorphic, which can evoke functional somatic disorders and make its management difficult. In 2016, the French Ministry of Health decided to launch a national plan to fight Lyme borreliosis. One of the objectives of this national plan was to improve management based on a specific multidisciplinary care pathway.

Interventions

OTHERphysical activity program

24 face-to-face APA sessions at the sport and health center for 3 months at a rate of 2 sessions per week near his home and 9 therapeutic patient education workshops for 3 months at a rate of 3 workshops per month (telecare).

Advice and recommendations of physical activity at home (= current clinical practice in autonomy for 3 months).

Inclusion criteria

* Patient referred to the reference center for tick-borne diseases by his attending physician * Duration of symptoms \>6 months * At the end of the initial assessment, the diagnosis of functional somatic disorders is retained after consensus between the physicians * Patient practicing less than 150 minutes of regular physical activity per week (WHO recommendations)

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Average level of moderate to vigorous physical activity (PA) - MET-h/week1 year after implementation of the PA programMET = metabolic equivalent This is measured with actimetry (Actigraph GT3x, Pensacola, Florida, USA).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)at Month 3, Month 6 and Month 12 after implementation of the PA programHealth status will be assessed by the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) and measured on a 7-point Likert scale, rated from 1 for much worse to 7 for much better.
average level of sedentary lifestyle (h/day)at Month 3, Month 6 and Month 12 after implementation of the PA programThis is measured with actimetry (Actigraph GT3x, Pensacola, Florida, USA). The average sedentary time measured in industrialized countries is about 4 hours per day (excluding time spent sitting at work and in transport)
Average level of moderate to vigorous physical activity (PA) - MET-h/weekat Month 3, Month 6 and Month 12 after implementation of the PA programThis measured with Adult Physical Activity Questionnaire (APAQ) Score from 0 to 21 points, 0 = no difficulty, and 21= major difficulties.
Average level of sedentary lifestyle (h/day)at Month 3, Month 6 and Month 12 after implementation of the PA programThis measured with Adult Physical Activity Questionnaire (APAQ) Score from 0 to 21 points, 0 = no difficulty, and 21= major difficulties.
VO2max (in ml/min/kg)at Month 3, Month 6 and Month 12 after implementation of the PA programThis physical ability is measured with a cardiorespiratory test on a cycloergometer
Biceps muscular strength (kg)at Month 3, Month 6 and Month 12 after implementation of the PA programMuscular strength will be assessed by biceps muscle strength (in kilograms) on the Handgrip (JAMAR Hand Dynamometer, UK)
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)at Month 3, Month 6 and Month 12 after implementation of the PA programPsychological distress will be assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) The HADS scale has 14 items scored from 0 to 3. 7 questions concern anxiety and 7 others the depressive dimension, which makes it possible to obtain two scores (maximum score for each score = 21). A score greater than or equal to 11 means that the anxiety or depression is anxiety or depression is certain.
Number of patients involved in the interventionat Month 6 after implementation of the PA programAssessment of adherence as measured by the number of patients involved in the intervention
medico-economic impact of the care organizationat Month 12 after implementation of the PA programAverage cost saved per 100 patients treated in the physical activity program group compared to the control group
