Say NO to fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome: an
alternative and complementary therapy to aerobic exercise.

Increased shear stress to the endothelium increases activity
of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) with subsequent
release of small quantities (nMol) of nitric oxide (NO) into
the circulation. It occurs during moderate aerobic exercise
mostly as a result of laminar shear stress and with whole
body, periodic acceleration as a result of pulsatile shear
stress. The latter is administered by means of a new,
non-invasive, passive exercise device. Moderate exercise has
long been known to alleviate the symptoms of fibromyalgia and
chronic fatigue syndrome and in the current study, whole body,
periodic acceleration did as well. Since NO through action of
eNOS has potent anti-inflammatory properties mainly by
suppressing nuclear factor kappabeta activity, it is
hypothesized that both diseases have chronic inflammation as
their basis. Whole body periodic acceleration can be applied
separately or supplementary to aerobic exercise in the
treatment of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.
