Sponsor's own description
In fibromyalgia patients, exercise is needed to reduce symptoms and to prevent muscle weakness with fatigue and pain. Core exercise retrains and strengthens deep postural spinal muscles such as the multifidus and transverse abdominis by promoting neuromuscular control, maintaining the dynamic stability of the spine and thus reducing pain. By performing core exercises, the pelvic floor, which forms the lower base of the core, is strengthened. Objective: It was planned to investigate the effects of core exercises on pelvic floor dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, pain, sleep quality and quality of life in women with fibromyalgia. Materials and Methods: It was designed as randomized control. Sexually active women with fibromyalgia syndrome between the ages of 18-65 will be included in the study. After the patients are selected from the relevant stage with the improbable random sampling method, the patients who accept to participate in the study and meet the inclusion criteria will be assigned to one of the groups in which the core exercise or home program is applied. Evaluations will be evaluated for each group before starting the exercise program and 1 day after the last session, following the completion of 2 sessions per week for 8 weeks. Pain Visual Analog Scale; fibromyalgia impact level Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR); pelvic floor dysfunction Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ); sexual dysfunction Female Sexual Function Scale; sleep quality: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; short quality of life It is planned to be evaluated with Form-36(SF-36). Conclusion: The effects of core exercises on pelvic floor dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, pain, sleep quality and quality of life will be evaluated and interpreted by comparing the evaluations before and after treatment and between groups.
