Vpliv pilates vadbe na bolečino in funkcijo pri pacientih s sindromom fibromialgije

Vrhovnik, Lucija (author), Palma, Polona (author), Petrič, Maja (author)

Uvod: Sindrom fibromialgije je kronično bolezensko stanje, za katerega je značilna razširjena mišično-skeletna bolečina, ki jo pogosto spremljajo druge duševne in fiziološke motnje. Najpogostejši pristopi zdravljenja so edukacija, telesna vadba, farmakološko zdravljenje in psihoterapija. Pilates vadba je nizkointenzivna oblika vadbe, ki poudarja pomen telesa in uma. Namen pregleda literature je bil predstaviti ugotovitve raziskav o učinkih pilates vadbe na bolečino, kakovost življenja, spanje, tesnobo in mišično zmogljivost pri pacientih s sindromom fibromialgije. Metode dela: Iskanje literature je potekalo v podatkovni zbirki PubMed. Vključene so bile randomizirane nadzorovane raziskave v angleškem jeziku. Rezultati: V sedmih raziskavah, izbranih za pregled, je bilo skupno vključenih 318 preiskovancev. Rezultati so pokazali statistično značilne (p < 0,05) učinke pilates vadbe na področjih bolečine, kakovosti življenja in tesnobe, ne pa tudi učinkovitosti pri kakovosti spanja in mišični zmogljivosti. V večini primerov pilates vadba ni bila učinkovitejša od terapij v primerjalnih skupinah. Zaključki: Pilates vadba je varna in učinkovita nefarmakološka metoda obravnave fibromialgije. Učinki so primerljivi z drugimi metodami, zato jo lahko dodamo v nabor možnih terapij. Nadaljnje raziskave bi morale vključiti večje število preiskovancev, več moških ter spremljati paciente tudi po koncu vadbenega programa.

• Title: The effects of Pilates exercise on the functioning of patients with fibromyalgia syndrome

Abstract

Background: Fibromyalgia syndrome is a chronic condition characterised by widespread musculoskeletal pain, often accompanied by other psychological and physiological disorders. Treatment focuses on reducing symptoms through education, exercise, pharmacological treatment and psychotherapy. Pilates is a low-intensity form of exercise that emphasises the connection between body and mind. This study aimed to review the effects of Pilates exercise on pain, quality of life, sleep, anxiety and muscle performance in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome. Methods: Literature was searched in the PubMed database. The review included randomised controlled trials published in English. Results: Seven studies involving a total of 318 participants were included in the review. The results showed statistically significant (p < 0.05) effects of Pilates exercise on pain, quality of life and anxiety, but not on sleep quality or muscle performance. Pilates exercise was generally no more effective than other comparison therapies. Conclusions: Pilates exercise is a safe and effective non-pharmacological method for managing fibromyalgia. Its effects are comparable to those of other therapies, making Pilates a valuable addition to the range of available treatments. Future research should include a larger sample size, more male participants, and follow-up assessments.
