In addition , significant improvements were observed in quality of life , depression , impact of the disease , anxiety , and physical function .
Conclusion Dance-based intervention programs can be an effective intervention for people suffering from fibromyalgia , leading to a significant reduction of the level of pain with an effect size that can be considered as large .
Objective The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review on the effectiveness of dance-based programs in patients with fibromyalgia , as well as calculate the overall effect size of the improvements , through a meta- analysis .
Minimal clinically important difference on the Beck Depression Inventory - II according to the patient's perspective
Background The Beck Depression Inventory , 2nd edition ( BDI-II ) is widely used in research on depression . However , the minimal clinical ly important difference ( MCID ) is unknown . MCID can be estimated in several ways . Here we take a patient-centred approach , anchoring the change on the BDI-II to the patient 's global report of improvement . Method We used data collected ( n = 1039 ) from three r and omized controlled trials for the management of depression .  Improvement on a ‘ global rating of change ’ question was compared with changes in BDI-II scores using general linear modelling to explore baseline dependency , assessing whether MCID is best measured in absolute terms ( i.e. difference ) or as percent reduction in scores from baseline ( i.e. ratio ) , and receiver operator characteristics ( ROC ) to estimate MCID according to the optimal threshold above which individuals report feeling ‘ better ’ . Results Improvement in BDI-II scores associated with reporting feeling ‘ better ’ depended on initial depression severity , and statistical modelling indicated that MCID is best measured on a ratio scale as a percentage reduction of score . We estimated a MCID of a 17.5 % reduction in scores from baseline from ROC analyses . The corresponding estimate for individuals with longer duration depression who had not responded to antidepressants was higher at 32 % . Conclusions MCID on the BDI-II is dependent on baseline severity , is best measured on a ratio scale , and the MCID for treatment-resistant depression is larger than that for more typical depression . This has important implication s for clinical trials and practice
In addition , significant improvements were observed in quality of life , depression , impact of the disease , anxiety , and physical function .
