Breathing Exercise 呼吸练习
Breathing for Fibromyalgia 纤维肌痛呼吸练习
Slow extended exhale breathing reduces pain catastrophizing and central sensitization in fibromyalgia. The 4-8 pattern lowers the nervous system's amplified pain signaling without physical exertion.
缓慢延长呼气减少纤维肌痛中的疼痛灾难化和中枢敏化。4-8模式无需体力消耗即可降低神经系统放大的疼痛信号。
How to Practice
- Lie down or sit in your most comfortable position. Use pillows for support if needed.
- Breathe in through your nose for 4 counts, gently expanding the belly.
- Exhale slowly through your mouth for 8 counts, releasing muscle tension with each breath out.
- With each exhale, mentally scan one area of the body and let it soften.
- Practice for 10–15 minutes, ideally during a pain flare or before sleep.
如何练习
- 躺下或以最舒适的姿势坐下，如需要可用枕头支撑。
- 用鼻子吸气数4拍，轻柔地扩张腹部。
- 用嘴缓慢呼气数8拍，随每次呼气释放肌肉紧张。
- 每次呼气时，用心理扫描身体的一个区域并让其放松。
- 练习10–15分钟，理想情况下在疼痛发作时或睡前进行。

Frequently Asked Questions
常见问题
How does breathing reduce fibromyalgia pain? 呼吸如何减轻纤维肌痛疼痛？
Fibromyalgia involves central sensitization — the nervous system amplifies pain signals. Slow extended exhale breathing engages the parasympathetic system, lowering the heightened nervous system activity that amplifies pain. It also reduces muscle tension and improves sleep, both of which affect pain levels.
纤维肌痛涉及中枢敏化——神经系统放大疼痛信号。缓慢延长呼气激活副交感神经系统，降低放大疼痛的高度神经系统活动。它还减少肌肉紧张并改善睡眠，两者都影响疼痛水平。
Is it safe to do breathing exercises during a fibromyalgia flare? 在纤维肌痛发作期间做呼吸练习安全吗？
Yes. Breathing exercises are one of the few interventions safe during an active fibromyalgia flare because they require no physical exertion and can be done lying down. They are also free of the side effects associated with pain medications.
是的。呼吸练习是少数在纤维肌痛活动期发作期间安全的干预措施之一，因为它们不需要体力消耗，可以躺着进行。它们也没有止痛药相关的副作用。
