Background and Aims: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of a watercourse on the quality of life, pain, balance, and handgrip in men with fibromyalgia.
Methods: The research method was quasi-experimental. The statistical population consists of men 40-50 years old with fibromyalgia in Tehran City. Among the available subjects who were purposefully selected, 30 were randomly divided into experimental and control groups (15 in each group). Quality of life was measured using the SF-36 questionnaire, perceived pain severity by visual grading scale, and strength using a manual dynamometer.
Results: The results showed that 8 weeks of water exercise had a significant effect on the quality of life (P=0.0001), pain (P=0.0001), and strength gain in men with fibromyalgia (P=0.0001).
Conclusion: Water exercise can improve men’s quality of life, strength, and pain perception with fibromyalgia.
