About this study
The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two types of body vibration platform, one vertical and one rotational, through a 12-week training in patients with fibromyalgia.
Read the detailed description
This is a single blind randomized controlled trial. Sixty patients of FM will be assigned randomly to 3 study groups: 20 patients will be part of the vertical whole body vibration experimental group in the EG1, that will perform a neuromuscular treatment using the vertical whole body vibration platform, another 20 will constitute the rotational whole body vibration experimental group in the EG2, that will perform a neuromuscular treatment using the rotational whole body vibration platform, and another 20 will constitute the control group (CG). All these subjects will sign the corresponding informed consent for their participation in the study, according to the ethical criteria established in the Helsinki Declaration. The study will take place between January and December 2016. Three groups of variables were analyzed in the present study three times: before, after and follow-up after three months of the intervention.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Vertical whole body vibrationDevice
Also called Rotational whole body vibration
A neuromuscular treatment using two types of whole body vibration platforms, a rotational and a vertical platform.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Vertical whole body vibration platform. | Active comparator | Use of a rotational whole body vibration platform. Receives: Device: Vertical whole body vibration |
| Rotational whole body vibration platform | Active comparator | Use of a rotational whole body vibration platform. Receives: Device: Vertical whole body vibration |
| Control group | No intervention | No intervention. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pressure Pain Thresholds
Pressure stimuli were applied on epicondyles and index finger.
Measured: 20 minutes
Vibration Thresholds
Peripheral sensory function was evaluated by measuring vibration thresholds.
Measured: 20 minutes
Six-minute Walking Test (6MWT)
The 6MWT is a functional test in which the patient walks what he can during 6 minutes, analyzing the total distance walked.
Measured: 6 minutes.
Dynamometer
A back muscle dynamometer was used to measure isometric back muscle strength.
Measured: 5 minutes.
Romberg's Balance Test Modified Version
In the present study, we analyzed the oscillatory body movements during the test performance. Participants were situated below a cam situated above the ground and regulated to be placed at a mean distance of 50 cm. from the participant's head. They were asked to remain in orthostatic position with feet parallel at shoulder height, arms extended along the body and eyes closed for 1 minute.
Measured: 1 minute.
Gait Task
gait velocity (cm/sec)
Measured: 5 minutes.
Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ)
Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ
Measured: 10 minutes.
Visual Analogue Pain Scale (VAS)
Each participant was asked to indicate their current level of pain using a 20 cm VAS that ranged from 0 (no pain) to 100 (highest level of pain).
Measured: 5 minutes.
Perceived Quality of Life Index
The Quality of Life Index (QLI-Sp) is a self-report questionnaire that measures perceived health-related quality of life that includes 10 items or domains: physical wellbeing, psychological/emotional well-being, selfcare and independent functioning, occupational functioning,interpersonal functioning, social-emotional support, community and services support, personal fulfilment, spiritual fulfilment, and overall quality of life.
Measured: 10 minutes.
