According to the new data of clinical trials, vibration therapy that provides mechanical stimuli for activating muscles and sensory receptors can provide a promising new approach to alleviate the fatigue of multiple sclerosis (MS).
Patients with vibration therapy have reduced the recognized fatigue and have a significant profit with balance, mobility, walking endurance and cognitive performance.
Researchers said, “The future instructions should focus on the long -term effects and introduce vibration therapy in the rehabilitation complex approach,” researchers said.
research,”Vibraplus role in the fatigue of multiple sclerosis patients: random contrast testIt was published in, ” Clinical journal.
Fatigue is one of the most common and weak symptoms of Microsoft. It is often described with sudden and overwhelming fatigue that is not relieved by rest. You can seriously interfere with your daily life, make your work difficult, manage household work, or participate in social and family activities.
While physical exercises have shown to reduce the fatigue of people with Microsoft and improve the quality of life, some studies have also looked at sensory -based therapy such as vibration therapy. Sending this vibration to the skin and muscles aims to activate muscles, improve adjustment and balance, and reduce the efforts necessary for everyday activities.
Benefit measurement
Italian researchers said, “Vibration (treatment is a beneficial effect of MS patients compared to patients with physical exercise,” said Italian researchers said that the exact mechanism of treatment is still “unclear” and “under investigation.”
They are a Clinical trial (NCT05783999)Forty patients with obvious signs of fatigue and moderate were randomly assigned to the standard exercise program, which focused on vibration or aerobic and resistance training.
Using a handheld device, vibration therapy was applied to target the minimum limb muscles by placing a small silicone applicator directly on the skin. Each session lasted for 30 minutes and performed three times a week over seven weeks, including several short vibration bursts and rest.
When the study began, vibration groups had a very high level of fatigue and disability, and they were worse in certain mobility and cognitive tests than the control group. At the end of the arbitration, the group that received vibration therapy showed significant improvements, which was not seen in the standard physical movement.
The balance measured by Berg Balance Scale has been improved from 42.8 to 47.5. The score of less than 45 is related to the increase in risk.
Functional mobility has also been improved, as shown in a short time in time and in the GO test. The time fell from 14.3 seconds to 11.9 seconds from the right and from 14.8 seconds to 13.0 seconds.
The pedestrian endurance has also been greatly improved, and in six minutes, the distance has risen from 263.6 meters to 285.9 meters. Participants who received vibration therapy reported that the visual analog score was less tired, as shown in 7.7 to 6.5.
Researchers said, “Fatigue and limited walking are the most important symptoms of limiting Microsoft patients participating in social and familiar activities.
Participants who received vibration therapy in cognitive test showed significant profits in long -term memory, memory recall and information processing speed. In contrast, the people of the controlled army were improved only at the speed of processing hearing information.
“Our results were added to the insufficient evidence of the importance of vibration of exercise disorders, exercise and non -exercise fatigue, and promoted better perceptions of their own (quality of life) by promoting socialization and reducing limitations due to physical and emotional problems.
