Nondrug Treatment Programs for Adults With Fibromyalgia
Completed · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Fibromyalgia
In brief
Fibromyalgia (FM) syndrome is a common chronic pain disorder that may benefit from nondrug treatment. This study will compare the effectiveness of behavioral preparation, stress management education, and fibromyalgia and coping education in relieving the symptoms of FM. Each of these nondrug treatments will be combined with physical therapy and physical education. Specific aims: 1) Evaluate the efficacy of behavioral preparation programs on attrition, compliance, and treatment outcomes of self-management rehabilitation for FM syndrome. 2) Determine factors that mediate clinical efficacy. 3) Evaluate individual differences in treatment responses to delineate who will benefit most from each type of the behavioral preparation programs.
