Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Effects of physical training and relaxation exercise on pathophysiological mechanisms and symptoms in finbromyalgia patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A multi-center trial examining the effects of progressive resistance group exercise compared with an active control group (relaxation). A person-centred model of exercise was used. The intervention was performed twice a week for 15 weeks and was supervised by experienced physiotherapists.

Secondary aims off this multi-center study was to improve the understanding of pain mechanisms in fibromyalgia and how these are affected by physical exercise. Please see references of published articles for details.
