Study summary

The goal of fibromyalgia Treatment is to relieve the pain and improve quality of life and physical function which need a

Final Version: April 2019Research Template 3 multifaceted treatment approach involving non pharmacological pain management and medicine

Lyftgot perineural injection therapy \"lyftgot PIT\" previously known as neural prolotherapy , is a method of injection treatment designed and developed by DR Lyftgot from new Zealand to treat the neurogenic inflammation and the neuropathic pain caused by the sensocrine small nerve fiber .PIT is based on the injection of small amount of dextrose 5%in a neutral PH sterile water solution in the subcutaneous tissue around the sick nerve to correct the neuroglycopenia and to inhibit the neurogenic inflammation.

Read the detailed description

Fibromyalgia is a chronic non inflammatory wide spread pain disorder associated with a complex of symptoms as fatigue, depression and cognitive impairment , it is the second most common disorder encountered in rheumatology practice (Berger et aL,2007) The pathophysiology is certainly unclear involves a number of factors , including abnormalities in the neuroendocrine and autonomic nervous system ,psychological variables, genetic factor, and environmental stressors (Hudson JI, 2006 ) Fibromyalgia is no longer a diagnosis of exculsion ,patient are diagnosed according to the American college of rheumatology diagnostic criteria which requires a three conditions to be met a wide spread pain index >7 and symptom severity scale score >5 or WPI from 3-6 and ss scale score >9, symptoms have been present at similar level for at least 3 month and patient doesn't have a disorderthat would otherwise explain the pain

    30 patients will be received 4 sessions of perineural injection 1 week a part with optional additional sessions per the physician recommadation and the patient preference .injections are done with a 27 gauge half 1/2 needle directed perpendicular to the skin and going 1/ to the skin surface delivering 1\_2 cc of buffered 5% dextrose solution in the subcutaneous superficial perineural tissue we will be targeting the most triggering points for each patient emphasizing on pain located in thoraco-dorsal fascia, the fascia of the erectorspinae muscles along T10 to L2 dorsal rami, interspinoustenderness from medial branches of dorsal rami, superiorcluneal nerve at 7-8 cm from middle line cross the iliac crest \& T10 cross over iliac crest at a distance 8-10cm
