AB1367-HPR EFFECTIVENESS OF THE HYPERBARIC TREATMENT ON THE PERCEIVED PAIN, FATIGUE AND FUNCTIONALITY OF WOMEN WITH FIBROMYALGIA
2019
Background Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain syndrome accompanied by other symptoms such as fatigue or altered functionality1. One of the most common non-pharmacologic treatment is physical exercise because of its known positive influence on pain as a consequence of the physical condition improvement. 2 However, they use to present a lack of adherence to this type of therapeutic programs may be attributable to post-exercise pain 3. For this reason, alternative approaches that do not involve physical efforts, such as hyperbaric therapy, may be effective to reduce pain, fatigue or functionality in women with FM.4 Objectives To compare the effectiveness of hyperbaric therapy and physical exe…
Dichotic listening: elimination of the right ear advantage under a dual task procedure.
1997
The aim of this article is to investigate the attentional effect on the dichotic listening (DL) performance when doing a simultaneous right hemisphere task. A group of 30 right-handed male participants had a standard DL test followed by a dual task procedure that consisted of a manipulospatial discrimination through the left hand and performed while doing the DL test. Participants showed the typical right ear advantage (REA), which lost its significance when they were confronted with the dual task, presumably due to the manipulospatial performance. The elimination of the REA was mainly due to facilitation of the left ear responses. Results are discussed in terms of Kinsbourne's model and ot…
Comparative study of the effectiveness of a low-pressure hyperbaric oxygen treatment and physical exercise in women with fibromyalgia: randomized cli…
2020
Background: Fibromyalgia (FM) is characterized by chronic pain and fatigue, among other manifestations, thus advising interventions that do not aggravate these symptoms. The main purpose of this study is to analyse the effect of low-pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on induced fatigue, pain, endurance and functional capacity, physical performance and cortical excitability when compared with a physical exercise program in women with FM. Methods: A total of 49 women with FM took part in this randomized controlled trial. They were randomly allocated to three groups: physical exercise group (PEG, n = 16), low-pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy group (HBG, n = 17) and control group (CG, …
