Brief Summary

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

Sixty-six FMS patients received the same exercise program for 8 weeks and divided, synchronous (n: 33), asynchronous (n: 33). Pain (Visual analog Scale, VAS), functional limitations and disabilities (Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, FEA), health-related quality of life (HRQol; Short Form-12, SF 12), catastrophizing (pain catastrophizing scale, PCS), anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, HAD), functional capacity (6-minute walking test, 6MWT), muscle strength (Arm curl test) joint position sense (Laser Cursor Assisted Angle Repetition Test, LI-RATT) were assessed at baseline, mid-treatment (week 4), end of treatment (week 8), and eight weeks after treatment (week 16).

Detailed Description

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

Materials and methods: A randomized clinical study. Sixty-six FMS patients received the same exercise program for 8 weeks and divided, synchronous (n: 33), asynchronous (n: 33). Pain (Visual analog Scale, VAS), functional limitations and disabilities (Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, FEA), health-related quality of life (HRQol; Short Form-12, SF 12), catastrophizing (pain catastrophizing scale, PCS), anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, HAD), functional capacity (6-minute walking test, 6MWT), muscle strength (Arm curl test) joint position sense (Laser Cursor Assisted Angle Repetition Test, LI-RATT) were assessed at baseline, mid-treatment (week 4), end of treatment (week 8), and eight weeks after treatment (week 16).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Synchronous Exercise Group

Synchronous telerehabilitation was performed via videoconference. Patients were taken to video conference calls accompanied by a researcher and supervisor. Participants were to perform their exercises simultaneously under the guidance of the researcher. Participants were taken to video conference calls in groups of 5 with similar functional levels. Each session lasts an average of 45 minutes. It was last. The start and end date of the exercise program, the number of repetitions for each exercise, the number of sets, daily repetitions, rest time between sets and the order of the exercises were determined by the researcher.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Exercise Program

Intervention Type OTHER

Exercise Program In our study, the telerehabilitation program was applied for both synchronous and asynchronous groups, 3 days a week, 1 session per day, for 8 weeks. The exercises were combined individually according to the person's capacity, and the intensity and duration of the exercise will gradually increase according to the patient's tolerance.

Asynchronous Exercise Group

Asynchronous telerehabilitation was carried out through the mobile application. Researchers created a record for each participant in the mobile application with the personal information of the participants. Participants were logged in to the application with an account address and password created for them. The mobile application was supervised and followed by a researcher. The principal researcher prepared an exercise program specifically for each participant. He sent the exercise program he had prepared to the relevant participants through the application. In the mobile application, all exercises are explained in video and writing.
