Clinical Trial Summary

Although there are many studies evaluating adherence to supervised walking programs in patients with fibromyalgia (FM), there are limited studies evaluating adherence to unsupervised walking programs.

Description:

Although there are many studies evaluating adherence to supervised walking programs in patients with fibromyalgia (FM), there are limited studies evaluating adherence to unsupervised walking programs. Purposes of this study were (1) to assess whether walking as exercise was prescribed by their physiatrist in Turkish women with FM who received pharmacological therapy, (2) to illustrate the frequency of patients who walk regularly as exercise, (3) to clinically compare patients who walk regularly as exercise and those who do not, and (4) to determine factors related to adherence to walking prescriptions.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ)	Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire is a survey developed to measure functional status in FM patients. This scale measures 10 separate aspects, namely physical impairment, feel good, work missed, do job, pain, fatigue, rested, stiffness, anxiety, and depression. The total score in the questionnaire is between 0 and 100. Higher scores demonstrate higher disease severity and lower functional status.	through study completion, an average of one month
Primary	The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia	The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia is a reliable survey on fear of movement. In the survey consisting of 17 questions, the total score is between 17 and 68, with higher scores indicating higher kinesiophobia.	through study completion, an average of one month
Primary	Visual Analogue Scale	Overall pain intensity over the last 7 days was assessed with a Visual Analogue Scale (0 = no pain and 10 = the worst pain you can imagine).	through study completion, an average of one month
Primary	Pain Catastrophizing Scale	Pain Catastrophizing Scale is made up of 13 items scored on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 (never) to 4 (always). The total score is obtained with the sum of the answers, being able to obtain a maximum score of 52. Higher scores in the scale represent a higher tendency to catastrophize.	through study completion, an average of one month
