Brief Summary

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

This study evaluates the effects of a pain neuroscience education (PNE) and physical exercise (PE) program in women with fibromyalgia. The intervention group receives PNE and PE program supervised by a physiotherapist and a Family Doctor and the control group standard care, in primary care.

Detailed Description

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

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of a PNE and PE in patients with fibromyalgia (FM).

Design: Quasi-experimental, controlled, non-randomized study, in Primary Care facilities.

Intervention: 6 weekly sessions (2 hours each), and a reminder session one month later.

Main measurements: Compliance with FM criteria, assessed using the Widespread Pain Index (WPI) and the Severity of Symptoms (SS) questionnaires, impact of FM in daily life (Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire: FIQ) and quality of live. Assessments are made at baseline, one month following the 6th session, and during the 6- and 12-month follow-up.

Intervention

Pain neuroscience education (Health education) and Physical exercise program: 6 weekly sessions (2 hours each), and a reminder session one month later

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Pain Neuroscience Education and Physical Exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients assigned to the experimental group perform a PNE program consisting of seven sessions, with therapeutic PE. PNE is a health education intervention aims to provide up-to-date information on neuroscience advances in the field of chronic pain.

Control

Standard of care.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
