Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of an intervention with dance on balance,movility, pain and sleep in patients with Fibromyalgia in comparison to a control group that will have an educational intervention.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Other: Dance therapy
  • Other: Educational group
N/A

Detailed Description

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease consisting of widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive impairments, among other symptoms, which affect daily physical activity.

The regular physical exercise improves the functional, physiological, and behavioral components of physical fitness. Dance therapy seems to increase motivation and adherence to therapy, and can provide a real alternative to conventional exercise

The experimental group will receive a dance program treatment .

The control group will receive an educational intervention.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: DanceTherapy Group

The experimental group will receive a dance treatment.

Other: Dance therapy
The experimental group will receive a dance treatment.This protocol will be administered at weekly sessions of 60 minutes with a period of 2 times / week with a total of 16 sessions, distributed over a 8-week period. They will be evaluated at baseline, after the end of the last treatment session.
Other Names:
  • Exercise treatment
  • Experimental: Control Group

    The control group will be subjected to a educational treatment.

    Other: Educational group
    The control group will receive an educational intervention. They will be evaluated at baseline, after the end of the last treatment session.

  • Control group
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Timed Up and Go (TUG) [8 weeks]

      Change from de baseline in functional mobility and predict risk of falls. The single-task subscale consists of a measurement of the time in seconds for the patient to rise from sitting in a standard arm chair, walk 3 meters, turn, walk back to the chair, and sit down. The dual task subscale adds a cognitive task (TUGCognitive) or a manual task (TUGManual) to the simple task.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. One leg stance [8 weeks]

      Change from de baseline in postural steadiness (static balance) in a static position by registering the number of seconds a person can maintain this position.

    2. SLUMP Test [8 weeks]

      Change from de baseline in the movement of the pain-sensitive nerve structures.

    3. Straight Leg Raise test (SLR) [8 weeks]

      Change from de baseline in the movement of the pain-sensitive nerve structures.

    4. Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) [8 weeks]

      Change from the baseline on the impact of symptoms on quality of life in people with fibromyalgia. Questionnaire with 21-items on a visual analogue scale.

    5. Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) [8 weeks]

      Change from the baseline on the severity of general disability in the items of work, family life/home responsibilities and social life/leisure activities.

    6. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) [8 weeks]

      change from the baseline on sleep quality. The self-rated items of the PSQI generate seven component scores (with subscales ranged 0-3): sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction.

    7. Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) [8 weeks]

      Change from the baseline on insomnia. It is a self-rating instrument of eigth items.

    8. Spanish version of the Brief Pain Inventory questionnaire (CBD) [8 weeks]

      Change from the baseline on the intensity of pain and its impact on activities of daily living.

    9. Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI) [8 weeks]

      Change from the baseline on physical disability related to activities of eight categories of daily living over the last week.

    10. Epworth Sleepiness Scale, (EES) [8 weeks]

      Change from thebaseline of the subject's general level of daytime sleepiness.

    11. Minibestest [8 Weeks]

      Change from baseline in Dynamic Balance: areas are anticipatory postural adjustments, reactive postural responses, sensory orientation, and stability in gait. This tool has 14 items, with a maximum score of 28 points.
