“…Similar to other rheumatic disorders [10][11][12][13][14], fibromyalgia leads to disability and imposes substantial healthcare costs and productivity loss [15]. Apart from the diagnostic standards outlined by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) in 2010 [16], supplementary criteria involve various symptoms linked to widespread pain, including cognitive issues, depression, sleep disturbances, and numerous somatic symptoms impacting daily functioning [15].…”

Due to its variety of signs and symptoms, there have been numerous attempts to treat fibromyalgia (FM), but a cure has yet to be established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a complex kinetic therapy program and a combined physical modality program on pain and other common symptoms of FM. Patients and methods: A total of 78 female patients were included in this study; 39 subjects underwent a kinesiotherapy (KT) intervention (combining aerobic and Pilates exercises), and 39 participated in a physical modality (PM) program (including electrotherapy (TENS and low-laser therapy) and thermotherapy). Results: Regarding the parameter of pain assessment, kinesiotherapy demonstrated its superiority both during the treatment period and in the evaluation 3 months after therapy cessation. Both in terms of patient-reported pain (inter-group comparisons: p = 0.000 at T3) and the examination of tender points (inter-group comparisons: p = 0.000 at T3), as well as the algometric assessment, pain was alleviated by the two forms of applied kinetic therapy. The observed functional impairment was statistically significantly influenced (p = 0.001) at the end of the kinetic program application, while for the perceived functional impairment, neither therapy proved superiority over the other at any point of evaluation (inter-group comparisons: p = 0.715 at T3). Regarding the influence of the emotional consequences implied by fibromyalgia, neither the forms of kinesiotherapy nor the chosen physical modalities proved superiority at any point of evaluation (HAQ anxiety inter-group comparisons: p = 0.000 at T3). In conclusion, even though kinesiotherapy had superior influences on fibromyalgia pain in the studied group, the current research lends credence to the significance of non-pharmacological therapy in managing fibromyalgia. Participants demonstrated positive advancements in subjective and objective pain assessments, as well as improvements in functional and emotional well-being.

“…Such a modification is osteoarthritis, a progressive invalidating condition, having a degenerative and chronic character that affects the articular cartilage, the subchondral bone, the articular capsule, the hypertrophy of the marginal bone with the formation of osteophytes (3,4). The most frequent affected joint is the knee, involved in maintaining the static and dynamic balance, the walk and the orthostatic stability (5). The clinical and functional symptomatology includes pain, limitation of articular mobility, crepitating, deformation, instability, decreased of the functional capacity, affecting the walk and the posture (6,7).…”

“…According to the revised ACR criteria, the physical exercise is very important in the recovery, beside the use of NSAIDs. There are trials which show that, by making a combined treatment of medication and recovery (5), there was an attempt at reducing the pain and the inflammation as well as increasing the articular mobility. A trial of 2011 (10) focused on the evolution of 39 patients with knee osteoarthritis who made physiotherapy and were evaluated according to WOMAC and Lequesne scales, to the "stand up and walk" test and the 6 minutes' walk test.…”

Intrduction.Etoricoxibum belongs to the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory inhibitors selective of cyclooxygenase-2. The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used to treat acute musculoskeletal disorders as they result in pain-relieving therapeutical effect. Etoricoxibum intervenes by blocking cyclooxygenase-2 and by reducing the painful and inflammatory phenomena. Material and method. The trial focused on the evolution of patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis after making the treatment by etoricoxibum. This study was conducted in the ambulatory regime for a period of 6 months and included 77 patients. Results and discussions It was assessed the efficacy of the complex recovery treatment for the patients diagnosed by knee osteoarthritis wich use of Etoricoxibum, in a dose of 60 mg /day, in order to improve the pain and the inflammation. The pursued objectives were: the assessment of the effects by using Etoricoxibum for the reduction of the pain and inflammation, the increase of the articular mobility and stability, the recovery of the walk and motor control, the decrease of the body weight, the increase of the quality of life. Conclusions. This trial show that, by making a combined treatment of medication and recovery, there was an reducing the pain and the inflammation as well as increasing the articular mobility.

Introduction: It is well-known that musculoskeletal conditions are related with pain and anxiety. Anxiety is a complex concept that involves a transient state caused by different factors, as well as a persistent mood. Aim: The aim of the study is to reveal the associations between the discomfort caused by some musculoskeletal disorders and the emotionality (anxiety as a trait or a state) on the one hand and, on the other hand, the level of quality of life. Material and method: The study was cross-sectional and was performed in a period of 6 months on an outpatient basis of 174 patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Thus, we have taken into consideration 5 groups of patients, according to the presented medical condition: low back pain, law back osteoporosis, hand osteoarthritis, knee osteoarthritis, coxarthrosis. We have administered two scales to all the patients: The State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) form X1 (anxiety a s a state) and form X2 (anxiety as a trait) and the Quality of Life (QOL) Results: For patients who were diagnosed with low back pain, quality of life was 60.71% of the maximum value. Anxiety by using the S.T.A.I. form X1 at an average value was 46.5, anxiety assessed by the STAI form X2 scale, indicates an average value of 39. In the case of osteoporosis, the value of their quality of life was 90.18%. Anxiety (form X1) was 36, and anxiety (form X2) was 52. For the patients diagnosed with hip osteoarthritis, respectively with knee osteoarthritis, the quality of life were 87.5% and 77.67%, anxiety (form X1) were 41 and 48, anxiety (form X2) were 47 and 61. For patients diagnosed with hand disorders, the quality of life was 81.25%, anxiety (form X1) was 62 and anxiety (form X2) was 47. Conclusions: It was found that in the case of the low back pain, the quality of life had the lowest value (60.71% of the maximum value). In knee osteoarthritis it was found the highest value of anxiety as a trait was 61, and the highest value of anxiety as a condition was found in osteoarthritis of the hand as 62. Keywords: anxiety, quality of life, musculoskeletal disorders,
