Brief summary
This interventional study aimed to evaluate the effects of home exercise in addition to pharmacological treatment on pain threshold and spinal mobility in fibromyalgia patients.
Detailed description
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, altered pain processing, fatigue, and functional limitations. In addition to pain-related symptoms, individuals with FM frequently present with postural alterations, reduced spinal mobility, and impaired segmental control of the spine, which may contribute to functional disability and reduced quality of life. However, objective assessment of spinal posture and segmental mobility in FM remains limited. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate spinal posture and sagittal plane mobility in patients with fibromyalgia using the Spinal Mouse®, a validated, non-invasive, computer-assisted device that measures spinal curvature and segmental inclination without radiation exposure. The Spinal Mouse allows for reliable assessment of thoracic and lumbar spinal alignment as well as dynamic movement patterns during functional tasks.
