New Educational Tool for FM

Summary

This study aims at analyzing the usefulness of a new educational tool developed by Pain Revolution, a compendium of 9 fact sheets along with a related quiz in patients from the Hospital Vall d'Hebron of Barcelona suffering from fibromyalgia, compared to a non-education group. The present study also aims at comparing the usefulness of the new tool based on PNE in two different formats: read and explained.

Conditions

• Fibromyalgia

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

PNE-explained group

There are 9 fact sheets overall. And each fact sheet incorporates two pages relating to one main concept. The first of two pages introduces the concept, and the second one quotes important ideas that emerge from the main concept. The 9 main concepts and consequent ideas presented in the fact sheets are based on current scientific research in pain science and have been selected and structured specifically for PNE education for chronic pain patients. The fact sheets have been fully developed and designed by Pain Revolution, a pain educator network founded by Professor Lorimer Moseley, group leader in Body in Mind Research Group from University of South Australia.

BEHAVIORAL

PNE-read group

The PNE-read group will receive the fact sheets via email along with instructions regarding the content and the procedure to read the content. Instructions will suggest to read only two fact sheets per day during 4,5 days. It will be suggested to take 30 minutes at least for each fact sheet.

BEHAVIORAL

TAU group

Participants allocated to this group will maintain treatment as usual (TAU) and will follow the recommendations by their usual health professiona
