Aim of the study is to search the effects of whole body vibration (WBV) in fibromyalgia patients.
In this single blind study 20 fibromyalgia patients were diagnosed according to 2010 American College of Rheumatology criteria whom participated in the study with the mean age of 57 ± 7 (years). Participants were randomized into 2 equal groups. In the intervention group (n = 10), 6 different types of exercises were combined with 30 hz frequency, 2 mm amplitude WBV for 4 weeks, The control group (n = 10) performed the same exercises on the same platform without vibration. The patients were assessed at baseline, at the 3rd and 6th months by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).
Only FIQ score was significantly better in the treatment group at the 6th month evaluation (p = 0.043).
WBV is found to be effective in reducing symptoms of fibromyalgia.
研究旨在探讨全身振动（WBV）对纤维肌痛患者的影响。
在这项单盲研究中，根据 2010 年美国风湿病学会标准，诊断出 20 名纤维肌痛患者，平均年龄为 57 ± 7（岁）。参与者被随机分为两组。在干预组（n = 10）中，将 6 种不同类型的运动与 30 Hz 频率、2 mm 振幅的 WBV 相结合，进行了 4 周的治疗。对照组（n = 10）在相同的平台上进行相同的运动，但没有振动。患者在基线、第 3 个月和第 6 个月分别通过视觉模拟量表（VAS）、纤维肌痛影响问卷（FIQ）和贝克抑郁量表（BDI）进行评估。
仅在第 6 个月的评估中，治疗组的 FIQ 评分显著改善（p = 0.043）。
WBV 被发现可有效减轻纤维肌痛的症状。
