Clinical Trial Summary

Fibromyalgia affects 2 to 5% of adults in the general population. Patients describe a combination of symptoms centred around fatigue not induced by exercise and not relieved by rest.

The diagnosis of fibromyalgia is self-perpetuating by the deconditioning, consequence of a reduced muscle mass due to inactivity and periods of prolonged rest.

Thus, it seems fundamental to develop other non-drug approaches: among them, adapted physical activity is recommended by most learned societies because of a good level of evidence (Level 1, Grade A). The question remains, however, whether simple advice to resume physical activity is sufficient (routine care with medical assessment at 3 months) or whether a physical activity supervised inside and outside the hospital is not more relevant.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Assessment of the impact of a 3-month program	Health status assessed by the PGIC = Patient Global Impression of Change. interpretation : 0= no change, 7= clear improvement, 5= better).	at 3 months
Secondary	fatigue	assessed by Fatigue Severity Scale. This is a short questionnaire of 9 questions to which the patient answers on a scale from 1 to 7.; Simply add the scores and divide by 9 - you get a result on 7 points. The higher the result, the greater the fatigue. Several studies speak of a threshold at 5.5	at 3 months
Secondary	Quality of sleep	assessed by the Pittsburgh. The questionnaire includes 19 self-assessment questions and 5 questions for the spouse or roommate (if any). Only self-assessment questions are included in the score.; The 19 self-assessment questions combine to give 7 components" of the score with each component receiving a score of 0 to 3.; In all cases, a score of 0 indicates that there is no difficulty while a score of 3 indicates the existence of severe difficulties. The 7 components of the score add up to give an overall score from 0 to 21 points, 0 meaning that there is no difficulty, and 21 indicating on the contrary major difficulties.	at 3 months
Secondary	Anxiety and Depression	assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) : An overall score of 19 or more indicates a major depressive episode. An overall score of 13 corresponds to adjustment disorders and minor depression.	at 3 months
Secondary	pain catastrophizing	assessed by the PCS (pain catastrophizing scale) assessing catastrophism : there are thirteen statements describing different thoughts and emotions that may be associated with pain. the person must indicate how painful these thoughts and emotions are. From 0= not at all to 4 = all the time	at 3 months
Secondary	pain evaluation	assessed by analog visual evaluation of pain (0= no pain and 10 = very painful)	at 3 months
Secondary	muscle power	evaluated by dynamometry on a stress platform (arms and legs) and by a pocket dynamometer.	at 3 months
Secondary	muscular endurance	evaluated by dynamometry on a stress platform (arms and legs).	at 3 months
Secondary	gas exchange measurement	evaluated during a stress test	at 3 months
Secondary	quantification of physical activity in meter-h/week	evaluated by the APAQ : Adult Physical Activity Questionnaire	at 3 months
Secondary	sedentary times in hours/day	evaluated by the APAQ : Adult Physical Activity Questionnaire	at 3 months
Secondary	daily energy expenditure	evaluated by actimetry	at 3 months
Secondary	time of physical activity	evaluated by actimetry	at 3 months
Secondary	physical inactivity	evaluated by actimetry	at 3 months
Secondary	patient adherence	number of sessions performed	at 3, 6 and 12 months
Secondary	Direct medical costs	consultations, examinations, hospitalizations in euros	at 3, 6 and 12 months
Secondary	Direct non-medical costs	transport	at 3, 6 and 12 months
Secondary	Cost of lost productivity	time not worked	at 3, 6 and 12 months
