Science Discovery: Breathing Exercises Must be a Real and Effective Intervention to Consider in Women with Fibromyalgia: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Study - Diana Lurie

 

Type of Study: This study is a pilot randomized controlled trial that examined the effects of a 12-week breathing exercise program on upper body pain and quality of daily life in fibromyalgia (FM) patients. FM patients suffer from widespread pain as well as muscle stiffness, fatigue, and sleep disorders, and the condition is considered to be a rheumatic syndrome. Respiratory issues have been documented to exacerbate FM, and labored or difficulty breathing (dyspnea) causes FM patients to tire easily. These respiratory issues can be associated with respiratory muscle weakness that often results in a weakened physical condition that impacts activities of daily living. One way to help restore respiratory muscles is through respiratory exercise programs that include diaphragmatic breathing, relaxation, and postural position exercises.
