RESUMO

33 fibromyalgic (FM) patients were submited to 8 weekly sessions of Yoga (RY group, n=17) or Yoga plus Tui Na massage (RYT group, n=16). FM impact questionnaire (FIQ), algometry, pain visual analogic scales (VAS) and verbal scores for pain were assessed before session 1 and 5+1 weeks after session 8 (followup). Verbal scores were applied also in session 8 and VAS before and after each session. FIQ after treatment and VAS values in every session significantly decreased in both groups. VAS and verbal scores showed that RY group had significant decrease in pain in followup, but not yet in session 8, while RYT group pain decrease was significant in session 8, but not in followup. So, yogic training showed efficacy in FM decreasing symptoms and massage addition reinforced these effects during treatment, but it impeded long term benefits
