Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of progressive muscle relaxation training given in addition to a combined exercise program in women with fibromyalgia.


Clinical Trial Description

Fibromyalgia syndrome is a complex, non-inflammatory pain syndrome characterized by whole-body pain, pain at specific tender points, fatigue, and sleep disturbance The prevalence of fibromyalgia in the world population varies between 0.2% and 6.4%, and it more frequently affects middle-aged women (30-50 years old). the etiology of fibromyalgia is not fully known. There are no generally accepted objective clinical findings, radiographic abnormalities, or laboratory tests to assess the presence of fibromyalgia and measure fibromyalgia severity. Therefore, questionnaires measuring patients' subjective responses remain important in the evaluation of fibromyalgia patients until now. Current treatment recommendations for fibromyalgia strongly support a multifaceted regimen, including patient education, physical therapy, massage, cognitive behavioral therapy, specific pharmacotherapy, restorative sleep, and exercise. Exercise includes aerobic exercise, strengthening and stretching. Progressive muscle relaxation therapy is an alternative complementary therapy based on the principle of progressive tensing and relaxing of major body muscles to relieve psychological tension. The therapy has no time or space restrictions and does not require any special equipment. ;
