Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: That the game therapy is more effective than conventional physical exercises to reduce pain intensity, as well as increase the threshold of pressure pain and cutaneous sensory threshold. It is believed that not performing any type of physical exercise can worsen or stagnate the pain of these patients. Evaluation method: Intensity of pain at rest and in movement (Numerical Scale of 11 points), pressure pain threshold (digital algometry), cutaneous sensory threshold (Von Frey filaments), temporal summation (Temporal Summation Test), conditioned modulation of pain (Conditional Modulation of Pain Test). ;Expected outcome 2: It is believed that game therapy is more effective than conventional physical exercises to improve electrical, neurobiological, concentration and attention aspects. And, fibromyalgia that do not perform physical exercise can worsen or stagnate your pain. Evaluation method: encephalic electrical activity (EEG), concentration and attention (P300 evoked endogenous potential) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: That game therapy is more effective than conventional physical exercises to improve functional capacity and trunk muscle strength. Evaluation method: Rikli Jones battery and trunk dynamometer.;Expected outcome 3: That the game therapy may promote the increase of the concentration of anti-inflammatory cytokines and decrease the pro-inflammatory ones. As well as it can promote decrease of the hormone cortisol. Evaluation method: ELISA enzymatic tests, using commercial kit (eBioscience).;Expected outcome 2: Increase motivation, compliance, quality of life and sleep, as well as decrease depression and physical disability of patients with fibromyalgia. Evaluation Method: The Motivation Inventory for Exercise (IME-2), the quality of life evaluation will be performed using the Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Roland Morris Physical Impairment Questionnaire (QIRM) and Beck Depression Inventory. | — |
