Brief Summary

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

Fibromyalgia is a complex chronic illness affecting 6-12 million Americans. Self-management strategies play a key role in reducing symptoms and maintaining functioning. The proposed project offers a web-based self management tool that enables FM sufferers to identify significant linkages between their personal symptom levels and their personal self-management efforts over time in order to plan their own optimal approach to disease management.

Detailed Description

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

This Phase II project will complete development of the SMART (Self-Monitoring and Review Tool) Log program for symptom management and health promotion in FM and evaluate its efficacy in a large web-based trial that will closely emulate its planned application in Phase III. The SMARTLog program is an interactive web-based self-monitoring and feedback intervention that employs proprietary statistical analysis procedures to give the user personally optimized guidance on behavioral, lifestyle and coping strategies that yield effective symptom reduction for that individual. The program incorporates longitudinal collection and analysis of the individual's self-monitoring data followed by delivery of personalized feedback derived from those same personal data. The program helps FM sufferers discover and monitor linkages between specific personal health-related behaviors and management strategies and their symptom levels over time. Feasibility was demonstrated in Phase I by very high retention rates, ratings of satisfaction and perceived relevance, evidence of impact of utilization on improved well-being over the use period, and qualitative data indicating strong interest in continuation with the program.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Web-based symptom and behavior self-monitoring program with automated feedback derived from the user's personal data. A personal informatics approach is used involving proprietary within-subject statistical analysis procedures to determine user feedback that provides behavioral guidance based on statistically significant change in symptom levels associated with specific user behavior and self-management strategies.
