Multicomponent Exercise and Pain Neuroscience Education in Women With Fibromyalgia
Sponsor: Cristian Omar Gálvez Rodríguez
Summary
Fibromyalgia is a long-term condition that causes widespread pain, fatigue, sleep difficulties, and limitations in daily activities. Exercise and education about pain may help people manage these symptoms, but more information is needed about programs delivered in community settings. The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in physical function, pain, quality of life, and other health-related outcomes following a 12-week group program combining multicomponent exercise and pain neuroscience education in adults with fibromyalgia. Participants attended one weekly session that included education about persistent pain and supervised exercises designed to improve strength, endurance, balance, and mobility. Assessments were planned before the program, at week 6, and at week 12. Attendance and responses to exercise were also monitored. The researchers expected improvements in physical function, pain-related symptoms, and quality of life. The study involved one group of participants without a comparison group, so it was designed to explore changes during the program rather than establish whether the intervention caused those changes.

Multicomponent Exercise
Participants attended supervised multicomponent exercise sessions once weekly for 12 weeks, with approximately 60 minutes of exercise per session. Each session included a 10-minute warm-up, a 40-minute circuit comprising aerobic activities, lower-limb strengthening, upper-limb strengthening, and balance training, followed by a 10-minute cool-down. The circuit consisted of four stations, with 8 minutes of exercise and 2 minutes for rest and rotation at each station. Exercise intensity was individually adapted according to pain intensity (NRS 0-10) and perceived exertion (Borg CR10). Sessions were supervised by final-year kinesiology students under the oversight of a licensed kinesiologist.
