Abstract

Objective: The aim is to investigate the effectiveness of intensive dynamic  exercises on the oxidative status in patients with primary fibromyalgia (FM)  and to explore the importance of these effects on the outcome of FM.  Methods: We measured levels of stress oxidants (protein carbonyls, nitric  oxide and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) and antioxidant parameters  (thiols and catalase) in blood samples from 40 FM patients and from healthy  control (n=25) at presentation and after 12 weeks of intensive exercise  program that is comprised of aerobic and strengthening exercises(lasting one  hour three times per week).  In the patients, pain was assessed using the visual  analog scale (VAS), tender points count (TP), the fibromyalgia impact  questionnaire (FIQ) and the Beck depression inventory (BDI) were  undertaken at presentation and after 12 weeks of exercise therapy. Results: At  presentation, the serum levels of the oxidative stress parameters were  significantly higher (p
