Background: Approximately half of the adult population suffers from chronic pain, such as fibromyalgia and low back pain. These conditions have a high prevalence and a good response to treatment with physical exercise, being the modified Pilates method a good treatment option for these patients. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of modified Pilates exercises compared to aerobic exe…
Chronic nonspecific low back pain is a musculoskeletal pain lasting longer than 12 weeks. The supervised exercise therapy is the first-line treatment, and the Pilates method can be used for treatment. Besides supervised exercise therapy, the interferential current (IC) is a widely used electrophysical agent for pain reduction, which leads to the hypothesis that the use of IC before the Pi…
Knee injuries lead to limitations and disabilities that negatively impact quality of life and functionality during daily activities. Despite the various impairments resulting from knee dysfunctions, there are no assessment tools that consider the multiple aspects of functionality. One way to look at functionality more completely is by using the International Classification of Functioning,…
Chronic musculoskeletal pain is a significant public health problem, with high prevalence and associated with high socioeconomic costs. The main types of chronic musculoskeletal pain are low back pain and fibromyalgia, which are the main cause of disability and absenteeism worldwide. Cost-effective treatments may minimize the economic impact of these dysfunctions. Thus, economic evaluatio…

Economic evaluation is a research priority to identify cost-effective treatments in chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP). However, there is a lack of economic evaluation, especially in Brazil. Furthermore, the clinicians and researchers present difficulty to interpret this type of study. Although, cost-of-illness studies are important to determine the costs of a specific disorder, there is …
Fibromyalgia is a worldwide frequent rheumatologic disorder that generates a great economic impact. Economic evaluation studies are necessary to describe the costs involved in the diagnosis and treatment of fibromyalgia and to identify cost-effective treatments, especially in developing countries. The purpose of this study is to generate evidence on the economic consequences of fibromyalg…
The literature recommends therapeutic exercise as an effective intervention but is still scarce as to the best recommendations for the prescription of the exercise, considering type, dose, frequency, supervision, intensity, progression, among others, for fibromyalgia, chronic whiplash associated disorder (CWAD) and chronic idiopathic neck pain (CINP). Therefore, the aims of this project w…
