Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to determine the effect of muscle energy technique versus myofascial release on cervical and lumbar pain in premenopausal women with fibromyalgia

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Lumbar Pain Syndrome Cervical Pain	Other: Myofascial release Other: Muscle energy technique	N/A

Detailed Description

Fibromyalgia is an idiopathic, non articular pain syndrome with generalized tender points. It is multisystem disease characterized by sleep disturbance and fatigue. It affect 5% of the world population. The incidence is higher in women than in men. And the age is between 30 and 35 years old.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Myofascial release The patients will receive myofascial release technique on cervical and lumbar regions three times per week for four weeks	Other: Myofascial release Is Facilitation of mechanical and neurological adaptive capacity as integrated through the Myofascial system
Experimental: Muscle energy technique The patients will receive muscle energy technique for cervical and lumbar regions three times per week for four weeks	Other: Muscle energy technique Is manual therapy procedure that involves alternating periods of resisted muscle contraction and assisted stretching

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Fibromyalgia impact questionnaire [Four weeks]
Used to assess health related quality of life before and after the treatment, maximum score means worse outcome
Visual analogue scale [Four weeks]
Used to assess the severity of cervical and lumbar pain of each premenopausal women in both groups before and after the treatment, maximum score means worse outcome
Active range of motion of cervical and lumbar regions [Four weeks]
Measurement of active flexion, extension, lateral flexion in cervical and lumbar regions before and after the treatment
