fibromyalgia is a chronic disease characterized by generalized pain, stiffness, poor physical conditioning, non-restorative sleep and poor health-related quality of life. Ganoderma lucidum a type of mushroom that has demonstrated several benefits in different populations. Ceratonia siliqua is a natural therapy rich in antioxidants with potential benefits on health.
to evaluate the effects of 6-week treatment of Ganoderma lucidum and Ceratonia siliqua on physical fitness in patients suffering from fibromyalgia.
sixty-four women with fibromyalgia participated in the study. They took 6 g of Ganoderma lucidum or Ceratonia siliqua per day for 6 weeks. Different fitness tests were selected in order to evaluate functional capacity.
after the 6-week treatment period, Ganoderma lucidum significantly improved aerobic endurance, lower body flexibility, and velocity (p < .05). No significant improvement in any physical test was observed in the Ceratonia siliqua group.
Ganoderma lucidum may improve physical fitness in women with fibromyalgia, whereas, Ceratonia siliqua seemed to be ineffective at increasing physical fitness. These results may indicate that Ganoderma lucidum might be a useful dietary supplement to enhance physical performance of the patients suffering from fibromyalgia.
纤维肌痛是一种慢性疾病，其特征为全身性疼痛、僵硬、身体机能不佳、睡眠无法恢复精力以及健康相关生活质量较差。灵芝是一种在不同人群中已显示出多种益处的蘑菇。刺槐豆是一种富含抗氧化剂的天然疗法，对健康可能有益。
评估灵芝和刺槐豆为期6周的治疗对纤维肌痛患者体能的影响。
64名患有纤维肌痛的女性参与了该研究。她们每天服用6克灵芝或刺槐豆，持续6周。选择了不同的体能测试以评估功能能力。
在为期6周的治疗期后，灵芝显著改善了有氧耐力、下肢柔韧性和速度（p < .05）。刺槐豆组在任何体能测试中均未观察到显著改善。
灵芝可能改善纤维肌痛女性的体能，而刺槐豆在提高体能方面似乎无效。这些结果可能表明灵芝可能是一种有用的膳食补充剂，可增强纤维肌痛患者的身体机能。
