 abstract = {© Schattauer 2015. Background: The fibromyalgia syndrome is a chronic disease with limited treatment options. Analgesics and neuropathic pain drugs offer only limited benefit. Alternatively, an inpatient multi-component pain therapy offers a more beneficial approach. The effectiveness of an additional sound massage in a multicomponent pain therapy for fibromyalgia patients was evaluated in this prospective randomized study including 100 patients. Patients and methods: 100 patients with fibromyalgia fulfilling the ACR criteria, who were admitted to an in-patient multi-component pain therapy, were prospectively grouped into two groups. In both groups a multi-component pain therapy was conducted; in one group additionally sound massage therapy. Global pain was measured daily by a visual analog scale (VAS) and changes were analyzed from the beginning to the end of the treatment. At the end of the multi-component pain therapy, the improvement of global pain, the ability to sleep, the ability to relax and the improvement of mobility was assessed with questionnaires. Results: The two groups were comparable regarding age and the fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (FIQ) score. The pain intensity by VAS was significantly higher in the group with sound massage therapy. The duration of the in-patient treatment did not differ significantly between the two groups. The VAS improved in Group 1 with sound massage significantly (p = 0,03) by 3.9 points, Group 2 improved by only 2.5 points. An insignificant improvement resulted concerning the ability to fall asleep, continued sleep and ability to relax in the sound massage group. Regarding mobility no difference was observed between the groups. Conclusions: Fibromyalgia patients treated with a multi-component pain therapy may benefit in respect to global pain from an additional sound massage therapy.},
