Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate pain intensity using the visual analogue scale, which is an instrument that consists of the use of a horizontal line 10 centimeters in length numbered from 0 to 10, the participant must identify with a trace how much pain is at that moment and the presentation of the parameters will be numerical, being zero without any pain and the closer to the number 10, it means the maximum pain experienced, as well as graphic through the location on a body map of the regions with pain. Therefore, it will be observed whether or not there was a reduction in pain intensity before and after each intervention | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate subjective sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, which is a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 19 items, where the parameters for evaluation are numerical since the score of each component presents a scale with a variation of 0 to 3 points. Therefore, the maximum score is 21 points (the higher the score, the worse the sleep quality), for this reason the cut-off note to interpret will be if there is a score above 5 points, it will indicate poor sleep quality of the individual according to the literature. Finally, it will be observed whether or not there was a reduction in the index comparing the beginning with the end of the 12 visits (both control and treated groups);To evaluate the quality of life through the fibromyalgia impact questionnaire, which is an instrument that presents questions about functional, occupational and pain capacity that are distributed over ten questions. The parameter is numerical from 0 to 100 and is used to identify the impact of fibromyalgia on the patient's quality of life. The higher the score, the worse the impact. Finally, it will be observed whether or not there was a reduction in the score comparing the beginning with the end of the 12 consultations (both in the control and treated groups);Assessing quality of life using the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire, which consists of 36 items related to eight categories (mental health, emotional/social and physical aspects, functional capacity). The parameter is numerical and the lower the score, the worse the quality of life attributed to the individual. Finally, it will be observed whether or not there was a reduction in the score comparing the beginning with the end of the 12 consultations (both in the control and treated groups);Evaluate heart rate variability through the Nerve express method, which consists of evaluating the autonomic nervous system through a heart monitor, with a heart rate sensor that is adapted to transmit the info | — |
