Summary

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome often accompanied by fatigue, psychological problems, and cognitive dysfunction, leading to reduced quality of life. Telerehabilitation-based Pilates has been shown to improve symptoms and function in fibromyalgia, while kinesthetic brain exercises may enhance cognitive performance through neuroplasticity. This study aims to evaluate the effects of adding kinesthetic brain exercises to telerehabilitation-based Pilates on cognitive functions, symptom management, functional performance, and quality of life in women with fibromyalgia.

Interventions

OTHER

Clinical Pilates Group

Participants will be introduced to the principles of Pilates, the workout program, and its five key elements: neutral spine, lumbopelvic and scapular stabilization, focus, and breathing. Clinical Pilates sessions will be held twice weekly for 8 weeks, 60 minutes each, via synchronous telerehabilitation (Zoom/WhatsApp). Each session includes a 10-minute warm-up, 40 minutes of Pilates exercises, and a 10-minute cool-down. The physiotherapist will provide visual and verbal guidance to ensure correct posture and breathing. Exercises start with 6-8 repetitions in the first week, increasing progressively according to participant ability and advancing to higher-level positions.

OTHER

Kinesthetic Brain Exercises Group

16 sessions, approximately 40 minutes each, will be administered twice a week for eight weeks by a physical therapist via video chat programs such as Zoom or WhatsApp. Kinesthetic brain exercises consist of three phases: a warm-up phase, an exercise phase, and a cool-down phase. The warm-up and cool-down phases consist of hand-eye coordination and relaxation exercises. The exercise phase consists of independent and dependent movements, as well as a combination of both.
