RESUMO:

Background: Fibromyalgia is a disease that presents chronic and diffuse musculoskeletal pain associated with fatigue, sleep disturbance, cognitive problems and low levels of physical conditioning. Recent studies have shown good results both with the practice of functional exercises and the use of low intensity laser therapy (TLBI) to reduce the symptoms of this population. However, no evidence was found associating these forms of therapy in the treatment of fibromyalgia. Objective: To investigate the effects of a TLBI associated with an exercise program on pain, functional capacity and quality of life of individuals with fibromyalgia. Methods: This is a randomized, double-blind clinical trial with 22 women divided into two randomized blocked groups:  placebo group (n = 11) who participated in a functional exercise program associated with placebo TLBI and the laser group (n = 11), who participated in a functional exercise program associated with TLBI. The intervention occurred in two months and three times a week. Both groups were submitted to an evaluation of pain  (sites, intensity and threshold), functional capacity (balance, functional tests), muscle performance (flexibility and isokinetic variables), depression and quality of life, before and after the intervention. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0 adopting a 95% confidence interval. The Shapiro Wilk test was used to verify the distribution of the data, the paired sample t test and Wilkoxon test were used for intragroup and independent t test and Mann Whitney for analysis between the groups. Results: It was observed that there was a reduction of pain and depression levels and an improvement of functional capacity, muscular performance and quality of life in both groups (p<0.05), but with no significant differences  (p>0.05). Conclusion: TLBI did not increase the effects of the exercises on pain, functional capacity and quality of life.
