Both populations face unique challenges that impact their ability to engage in physical activity; yet, the underlying physiological responses can vary significantly. In this context, the methodology of this study entailed conducting a comparative analysis of the ventilatory response during exercise in patients with fibromyalgia and those with other chronic pain disorders. The experimental protocol included a total of 31 participants (n = 13 diagnosed with fibromyalgia and n = 18 diagnosed with other chronic pain conditions). All participants completed a stress test, where the ventilatory parameters were measured in three stages (i.e., resting, incremental exercise, and recovery). The results revealed significant differences (p&lt;0.05) in ventilatory responses between both groups. Patients with fibromyalgia exhibited reduced time for the aerobic threshold and a higher respiratory frequency in the anaerobic threshold compared to those with other chronic pain disorders. Furthermore, fibromyalgia patients demonstrated higher values in the ventilatory coefficient during the test and in the recovery stage. In conclusion, these differences underscore the need for tailored exercise programs that specifically address the unique ventilatory challenges faced by fibromyalgia patients to improve their physical function and overall quality of life.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jfmk9030122","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,8]],"date-time":"2024-07-08T04:52:49Z","timestamp":1720414369000},"page":"122","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Comparative Analysis of Ventilatory Responses during Stress Tests in Patients with Chronic Pain: Implications for Therapeutic Interventions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4088-9820","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patricio","family":"Barr\u00eda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Rehabilitation Center Club de Leones Cruz del Sur, Punta Arenas 02281, Chile"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2898-7647","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda","family":"Gait\u00e1n-Padilla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Telecommunications Laboratory (Labtel), Electrical Engineering Department, Federal University of Esp\u00edrito Santo, Vit\u00f3ria 29047-105, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3772-2272","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Gomez-Vargas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Automatics, National University of San Juan, San Juan 5400, Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gonzalo","family":"Cardenas Ampuero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rehabilitation Center Club de Leones Cruz del Sur, Punta Arenas 02281, Chile"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kay","family":"Gitterman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rehabilitation Center Club de Leones Cruz del Sur, Punta Arenas 02281, Chile"},{"name":"Clinical Hospital Dr. Lautaro Navarro Avaria, Punta Arenas 01364, Chile"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bessie","family":"Cordova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rehabilitation Center Club de Leones Cruz del Sur, Punta Arenas 02281, Chile"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9657-5076","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Camilo A.
