Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the variation of the individual's pain modulation profile (PMP) after 3 and 5 months of the physical exercise program comparing with the control groups and it is expected that the practice of controlled and individualized aerobic exercises may be able to change the profiles endogenous pain modulation (PMP) contributing to the improvement of chronic myofascial pain parameters. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate the psychosocial and behavioral profile (catastrophization, anxiety, perceived stress, quality of life and quality of sleep) of the experimental groups and controls by comparing them with each other and it is expected that the practice of controlled and individualized aerobic exercises will improve behavioral and exercise parameters. sleep and this contributes to alter the profiles of endogenous modulation of pain, generating solid evidence for the prescription of physical exercise as part of the therapy of patients with DMMC. | — |
