Effectiveness of Occupational Therapy Interventions for Adults With Fibromyalgia: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Although the evidence supports interventions within the scope of occupational therapy practice for people with fibromyalgia, few interventions were occupation based.

Curcumin alleviates IL‐17A‐mediated p53‐PAI‐1 expression in bleomycin‐induced alveolar basal epithelial cells

“…PAI‐1 expression was increased in BLM exposed cells, which in turn leads to inhibition of neutrophilic apoptosis and their accumulation in pulmonary injury. PAI‐1 has been implicated in the fibrinolytic defect associated with various forms of lung injury . In ALI, homeostatic control of fibrin turnover disrupted with dramatic impairment of fibrinolytic activity is brought about by the increased synthesis of IL‐17A and subsequent alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis.…”

Pilot Study of French-Canadian Lifestyle Redesign® for Chronic Pain Management

“…Through its overarching focus on occupational performance and engagement, OT makes a unique contribution to CP management (Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists, 2012; Lagueux et al, 2018). According to Poole and Siegel (2017), although evidence supports OT interventions with people living with FM, few interventions were occupation-based.…”

A systematic review of the effects of strength training in patients with fibromyalgia: clinical outcomes and design considerations

“…As FM has no cure, treatments are palliative, and multidisciplinary approaches involving the use of medications, physical exercise (PE), and psychological treatments are recommended [4,[9][10][11][12]. PE has been advised in several studies and guidelines for the treatment of FM [13][14][15][16], and the inclusion of aerobic, resistance, and water exercises has been strongly recommended [5,[15][16][17].…”
