Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are  medical condition mostly caused by work related occupations and working environment, affecting patients’ muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves and developing over time. A community sample of 73 females and 32 males aged 85 and over underwent a standardised examination at home. Musculoskeletal pain was reported by 57% of those interviewed(1).

      Types of Musculo-Skeletal disorders in elder

1. Osteoarthritis
2. Gout
3. Rheumatoid Arthritis
4. Polymalagia Arthritis
5. Cervical myleopathy and spinal canal stenosis
6. Osteoporosis
7. Low back pain
8. Fibromyalgia

                                                      Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia, according to the American College of Rheumatology 1990 Criteria for the Classification of Fibromyalgia in the newly proposed criteria for the classification of fibromyalgia are 1) widespread pain in combination with 2) tenderness at 11 or more of the 18 specific tender point sites(a) as a result in responding to pressure.

                        The Treatment


C. In Herbal medicine perspective
In the survey of people of a total of 11,424 adults completed the survey in 2000-2001, according to the St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton,, over 23% of Canadian preferred the use of natural health products for treatment of Fibromyalgia(259) particular in female population in comparison to the male counterpart.
2. Capsicum frutescens (Cayenne)
Cayenne is also known as Cayenne Pepper, a red, hot chili pepper, belonging to Capsicum annuum, the family Solanaceae, native to sub-tropical and tropical regions. It has been used in traditional medicine to increases metabolism, enhance circulatory system and stomach and the intestinal tract, adjust blood pressure, lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, treat frostbite, muscles, arthritis, rheumatism, low back pain, strains, sprains, bruises and neuralgia, etc.The effective of Cayenne in reduced pain in patients with fibromyalgia, probably due to its anti inflammatory activity(264).
According to the Klinik für Rheumatologie, Topically applied capsaicin (CAS 404-86-4) may be used for treatment of chronic pain through induced the release of neurotransmitter in production of substance P and blockade of transport and de-novo synthesis of substance in patients with neuropathic pain or musculoskeletal disorders, with or without inflammatory components(265).

B. Alternative treatments 
Several types of alternative medicine have some potential for future clinical research. However, due to methodological inconsistencies across studies and the small body of evidence, no firm conclusions can be made at this time. we present here some of alternatives which have played an important role in human history for treatment of Fibromyalgia, according to the DePaul University(231) and Dicle University(232), in review of information regarding the efficacy of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).
8. Magnet therapies
Magnet therapies are the Use of magnetic fields for treatment of medical conditions in alternative medicine. According to the University of Virginia Health System, magnetic fields treatment of fibromyalgia showed improvements in functional status, pain intensity level, tender point count, and tender point intensity after 6 months(257).
Unfortunately, the average methodological quality of the identified studies was fairly low, according to the computerized search of databases from 1990 (year of publication of the ACR criteria for fibromyalgia) to July 2007 (258). A large sample size and multi center studies are necessary to validate it effect.

8. Relaxation
Relaxation therapy, used in many cultures for reduced stress, eliminated body and mind tension for the body to heal itself against the development and for treatment of some diseases, such as Yoga, Tai Chi and meditation, etc,... According to the University Psychiatric Outpatient Clinic, relaxation therapy can be effective in treating fibromyalgia patients, especially if applied early.(255).

Dr. Coppieters I. and colleagues at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, said," Single relaxation session as well as cognitive stress may have negative acute effects on pain modulation in patients with FM, while cognitive stress and relaxation did not worsen bottom-up sensitization in chronic WAD patients and healthy persons"(254).
In deed, Psychological interventions therapies may be effective in improving physical functioning, pain and low mood for adults with fibromyalgia but relaxation therapies remains unclear as the quality of the evidence was very low or low(256).

7. Biofeedback
According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, Biofeedback plays an important role to improve health of patients with Fibromyalgia through controlling certain bodily process involved heart rate, blood pressure, muscle tension, and skin temperature. The therapy has gained some traction in complementary and alternative medicine for treatment among individuals with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS)(248).
According to a randomized controlled trial involving two groups of FMS patients, biofeedback treatment modality reduced pain in patients with FMS, induced improvements in FIQ, SMWT and the number of tender points(251).Dr, Hassett AL and colleagues at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (UMDNJ-RWJMS in support of the use of biofeedback for treatment of patients with FM, suggested that the effectiveness of the therapy probably is the result of mediated by autonomic changes in stress, HPA axis activity, and brain function(252).
Unfortunately, a literature search conducted by the University of Marburg, revealed that only electromyographic(EMG) biofeedback and not Electroencephalograph (EEG) feedback significantly reduced pain intensity in comparison to control groups. BFB did not reduce sleep problems, depression, fatigue, or health-related quality of life in comparison to a control group(253).

6. Chlorella
A common single-celled green alga of both terrestrial and aquatic habitats has been explored for commercial profits due to its health effects. According to webMD, the benefit of chlorella products can vary significantly depending geographic cultivation, time to harvest and process.
The supplement has been used in complementary and alternative medicine for treatment among individuals with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS)( 248).
According to the study of 55 subjects with fibromyalgia, 33 with hypertension, and 9 with ulcerative colitis, conducted by Virginia Commonwealth University's Medical College of Virginia, dietray supplement of chlorella not only reduced high blood pressure, lowered serum cholesterol levels, accelerated wound healing, and enhanced immune functions, but also relieved symptoms, improved quality of life, and normalized body functions in patients with fibromyalgia(249).
Dr. Merchant RE and colleagues at the Medical College of Virginia Richmond also support the use of chlorella to relieve the symptoms of fibromyalgia in some patients, but suggested a larger, more comprehensive double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in these patients is necessary(250).

5. Massage therapy
Massage therapy is a technique manipulated to stimulate the function of soft tissues, including muscle, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments. As a stand-alone treatment, it reduces pain and improves function and some musculoskeletal conditions, particular in a short term benefit(247).
According to the Ahi Evran University, massage therapy significant improved pain intensity, pain pressure threshold in comparison of manual lymph drainage therapy(244).
In a system review conduced by Dr. Li YH and colleagues at the Liaocheng People's Hospital, 5 weeks and plus massage therapy showed an beneficial immediate effects on improving pain, anxiety, and depression in patients with FM, but large-scale randomized controlled trials with long follow-up are necessary to confirm the current findings(245).
A single session of muscle-biased therapy, using Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and MEDLINE from the inception of each database until July 2012, MBT was found effectively in reduced pressure pain thresholds in comparison to no-treatment and sham/inert groups and induced same effects comparable with those of other active treatments, according to the reports from 24 randomized controlled trials (23 articles) were included, representing 36 MBT treatment arms and 29 comparative groups(246).
