Clinical Trial Summary

The main objective of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of the VIRTUAL FIBROWALK multicomponent treatment program as coadjuvant of treatment-as-usual (TAU) compared to TAU alone. In this Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), in addition to evaluating the clinical effects of VIRTUAL FIBROWALK treatment in the short- and longterm.


Description:

This is a tree-arm RCT focused on the safety and potential effectiveness of the multicomponent program VIRTUAL FIBROWALK as coadjuvant of treatment-as-usual (TAU) vs. TAU alone and on the comparation of the physiotherapy part of the multicomponent program.

- VIRTUAL FIBROWALK combines multicomponent approach based on Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE), therapeutic exercise, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness training.

- Physiotherapy part of VIRTUAL FIBROWALK combines multicomponent approach based on Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) and therapeutic exercise.

- The main hypothesis is that improvement on functional impairment of patients with fibromyalgia can be achieved by the direct intervention on mechanisms such as kinesiophobia and fear avoidance

Intervention

Behavioral:
TAU + multicomponent treatment VIRTUAL FIBROWALK
Group treatment protocol of 12 weekly 60 minute virtual sessions. All sessions include the following ingredients (approx. in the same order): - Pain neuroscience education (15 min.) - Cognitive restructuring (15 min.) - Mindfulness techniques (15 min.) - Physical exercise(15 min.) - Treatment as Usual (TAU) Standard pharmacological treatment usually provided to patients with fibromyalgia.
Treatment as Usual (TAU)
Treatment-as-Usual (TAU) consisted of the prescribed drugs adapted to the symptomatic profile of each patient and basic face to face and written advice on PNE and aerobic exercise adapted to the physical capacities of the patients at the beginning of the study.
TAU + Physiotherapy part of VIRTUAL FIBROWALK
Group treatment protocol of 12 weekly 60 minute virtual sessions. All sessions include the following ingredients: - Pain neuroscience education (30 min.) - Physical exercise(30 min.) - Treatment as Usual (TAU). Standard pharmacological treatment usually provided to patients with fibromyalgia.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) The FIQR comprises three dimensions: physical dysfunction (scores from 0 to 30), overall impact (scores from 0 to 20), and intensity of the symptoms (scores from 0 to 50) is used to measure the impact generated by FM during the last week. It consists of 21 items, which are answered on a numerical rating scale of 11 points (from 0 to 10). Total scores can range from 0 to 100, with higher scores reflecting greater deterioration. Through study completion, an average of 3 months
Secondary Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK-11) TSK-11 is used to assess fear of pain and movement. It consists of 11 items, which are answered on a Likert scale of 4 points. Total scores of each scale range from 11 to 44, where higher scores indicate a greater fear of pain and movement. Through study completion, an average of 3 months
Secondary Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) HADS is used to quantify the severity of anxiety and depression symptoms. It consists of two dimensions (anxiety and depression) of 7 items each responding on a Likert scale of 4 points. Total scores of each scale (HADS-A and HADSD) range from 0 to 21, where higher scores indicate greater severity of symptoms. Through study completion, an average of 3 months
Secondary Physical Function of the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) Physical Function of the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) was used to measure physical function.This dimension comprises a total of 10 items, which are answered on a Likert scale of 3 points. Total scores on each scale are then transformed and can range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicate better physical function. Through study completion, an average of 3 months
