Art and Mindfulness in Fibromyalgia Rehabilitation at the University Museum

Sponsor: G. d'Annunzio University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This randomized controlled trial investigates the efficacy of a mindfulness-based rehabilitation program delivered in a non-traditional environment rich in art and beauty (the University Museum, UD'A) compared to a traditional university gym setting (CARES) for patients with fibromyalgia. The main question the study aims to answer is whether conducting mindfulness sessions in a museum setting can better reduce muscle pain (primary objective) and improve body awareness and quality of life (secondary objectives) compared to a standard gym setting. Additionally, the study evaluates autonomic nervous system responses using non-invasive thermal infrared imaging. Furthermore, this protocol incorporates an exploratory home-based maintenance component-utilizing an illustrated educational brochure and a preregistered video of previously learned exercises-during a four-week follow-up period (T1-T2) to assess adherence, feasibility, and the maintenance of therapeutic benefits
