Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FS) is one condition that most affects functional performance, especially in women, due to alterations in the entire musculoskeletal system. Given that, Physical Therapy (PT) studies the human movement and its dysfunctions, and that FS, because of its complex chronic characteristic, impairs the affected individual's activities causing movement disorders, a PT profes…
Autonomic dysfunction is well established in fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), characterized by higher sympathetic autonomic modulation and lower parasympathetic modulation at rest. However, only few studies have evaluated the cardiac and sympathetic baroreflex sensitivity in women with FMS. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the sympathetic and cardiac baroreflex sensitivity in women with FMS …
The fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is associated with a variety of symptoms besides musculoskeletal pain, such as fatigue and dyspnea, which may be related to respiratory abnormalities. Hydrotherapy has been proposed as a treatment for FMS, however studies about its influence on the respiratory system in women with FMS are scarce. The objective of this study is to investigate the influence …
Some abnormalities related to cardiorespiratory and metabolic system have been evidenced in Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS). However, researches studying the association between these abnormalities and clinical manifestations of FMS are few. Moreover, among different types of treatments for FMS, the hydrotherapy has been highlighted for its numerous benefits. The objective of the present stud…
Traditionally, cardiovascular autonomic control in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) has been evaluated by traditional indices, based on the spontaneous heart rate variability beat to beat (HP) and systolic arterial pressure (SAP). However, these methods have some limitations, especially with regard to the evaluation of baroreflex sensitivity (BRS). Thus, in order to overcome thes…
