Outline of Final Research Achievements

We investigated the effects of a 3-week exercise-based intervention program for fibromyalgia inpatients on pain, physical and attention abilities, quality of living (QOL), resting-state functional connectivity by MRI and cerebral blood flow by fNIRS. We found that most patients showed improvements in fibromyalgia symptoms and anxiety/depression scores, but variable effects in pain intensity and cognitive aspects. Furthermore, changes of the functional connectivity between specific brain areas were observed after exercise intervention, and these changes of functional connectivity were correlated with improvements of fibromyalgia symptoms.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

線維筋痛症(FM)の運動療法は従来の薬物療法に比べ、治療効果が高く、安全で経費が少ないことが知られており、運動の治療効果を科学的に立証し、運動療法を普及していくことで、長年FM症状に苦しむ患者や潜在的に存在するFM患者の重症化に歯止めをかけることができると考える。
