To know the effectiveness and safety of non-supervised breathing exercise regimen by promoting patients' self-management, and to investigate if non-supervised breathing exercise regimen shows similar benefits to supervised regimen in improving pain and fibromyalgia (FM) impact on daily life.
Fifty-one women with FM were assigned to: supervised breathing exercise regimen group, non-supervised breathing exercise regimen group, and control group. Pain thresholds tolerance on tender points and FM impact on daily life were evaluated.
After 12-weeks of breathing exercises statistical differences were not found between supervised and non-supervised regimen. However, supervised regimen showed additional improvements in pain thresholds tolerance and in pain-FIQ subscale.
Our results suggest that performing a non-supervised breathing exercise program could be as safe and effective as the supervised regimen. However, it was observed that there could be a tendency of supervised exercise regimen to show additional benefits in terms of pain.
了解通过促进患者自我管理的非监督呼吸锻炼方案的有效性和安全性,并研究非监督呼吸锻炼方案是否与监督方案在改善疼痛和纤维肌痛(FM)对日常生活的影响方面具有相似的益处。
将 51 名患有 FM 的女性分为:监督呼吸锻炼方案组、非监督呼吸锻炼方案组和对照组。评估压痛阈值耐受力和 FM 对日常生活的影响。
在 12 周的呼吸练习后,监督和非监督方案之间没有发现统计学差异。然而,监督方案在疼痛阈值耐受力和疼痛-FIQ 子量表方面显示出了额外的改善。
我们的结果表明,进行非监督呼吸锻炼计划可能与监督方案一样安全有效。然而,观察到监督锻炼方案在疼痛方面可能有额外获益的趋势。
