Summary:The aim of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the technique
Suboccipital Inhibition in patients with fibromyalgia, checking level changes
of pain and somatosensory information with an osteopathic treatment.
Methods:
Experimental study single-blind with a total of twenty-one women distributed
randomly into two groups, experimental (n=12), which received Suboccipital
Inhibition Technique and Control (n=9), who received a placebo technique.
Data relating to the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and cervical training
(E.P.A) was collected. Also the health levels were achieved by surveys such
as the FIQ-S (Spanish version of the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnare) and
the rank of cervical disabilities through the Neck Disability Index (NDI).
Results:
Clinically relevant improvements were found in relation to pain. Therefore,
the results are statistically significant with the five variables, some more
strongly than others, but in all cases there is shown a greater or lesser
suitability for the use of the technique of inhibiting the suboccipital
musculature.
Conclusions:
The results of this study suggest that the osteopathic approach is a possibility
of treatment for muscle suboccipital pain in women with fibromyalgia , as it
provides significant improvements in symptoms. - Abstract

Resumen:
El objetivo de este estudio es demostrar la efectividad de la técnica de
Inhibición Suboccipital en pacientes con fibromialgia, comprobando
cambios a nivel del dolor y de la información somatosensorial con
tratamiento osteopático.
Material y método:
Estudio experimental simple ciego con una muestra total de veintiuna
mujeres distribuidas de forma aleatoria en dos grupos, experimental (n=12 ),
que recibió la Técnica de Inhibición Suboccipital y control (n= 9), que recibió
un placebo.
Se recogieron datos en relación a la Escala Visual Analógica (EVA), y al
cervical training (E.P.A). Se consiguieron también los niveles de salud
mediante encuestas como la FIQ-S y del grado de discapacidad cervical
mediante el Neck Disability Index (NDI).
Resultados:
Se hallaron mejoras clínicamente relevantes en relación al dolor. Los
resultados son estadísticamente significativos en las cuatro variables, con
mayor contundencia en algunas, pero en todos los casos existe mayor o
menor idoneidad demostrada a favor del uso de la técnica de inhibición de la
musculatura suboccipital.
Conclusiones:
Los resultados de este estudio sugieren que el método osteopático es una
posibilidad de tratamiento del dolor de la musculatura suboccipital en
mujeres con fibromialgia, ya que aporta mejoras significativas en los
síntomas. - presented at
