No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The main goal of this study is to get to know if applying both, pain neuroscience education (PNE) plus strength training (ST) will reduce the pain of fibromyalgia (FM). Both therapies have shown evidence of improvement in fibromyalgia patients. However, there are no studies evaluating their efficacy in combination.

Conditions

  • Fibromyalgia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

PAIN NEUROSCIENCE EDUCATION AND STRENGTH TRAINING

The subjects of this group will receive an amount of six sessions that will be applied within 12 weeks. Every 15 days, the subjects will come for a consultation to receive a PNE session and review of the exercise program, which will be carried out 3 times a week for 12 weeks.

PROCEDURE

USUAL CARE

Aerobic exercises will consist of a standard table of low intensity stretching exercises, commonly prescribed to fibromyalgia patients. There will be three series of 30 seconds of each stretch, having a total duration of approximately 40 minutes. Each session will be held twice a week, following the recommendations of the "American College of Sport Medicine". Monitoring will be performed every 15 days by a physiotherapist.
