Detailed Description

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

Fibromyalgia is a chronic and debilitating pain syndrome characterized by widespread and persistent pain, also affecting sleep quality and cognitive function. It is estimated to affect 3.6% of the population; however, since it is a condition that is often underdiagnosed, the actual numbers may be higher. It is also an incurable disease, so treatment is based on symptom management through pharmacological therapy, which is not always effective. Due to the inadequacy of pharmacological therapy, there is a need for complementary therapies, and despite the limited number of studies conducted in this area, some therapies based on meditative movement (notably yoga) are beginning to emerge, with beneficial effects reported on pain management and quality of life in these patients. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the benefits and feasibility of this type of intervention at the Primary Health Care level.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

In the first phase, the questionnaire will be validated with all patients of the Family Health Unit diagnosed with fibromyalgia who agree to participate. Subsequently, all participants will be asked if they wish to participate in the intervention study, and those who agree will be randomized into either the intervention or control group. The intervention group will engage in Yoga practice with a certified yoga instructor, three times a week for three months. Quality of life scales, a well-being scale, and pain measurement on a numerical scale from 0 to 10 will be applied before and after the intervention, complemented by an open-ended question for qualitative analysis regarding perceived benefits and difficulties.
