Multicomponent Therapy for Fibromyalgia
- Conditions
- Fibromyalgia
- Registration Number
- NCT03319355
- Lead Sponsor
- University Ghent
- Brief Summary
Therapy for fibromyalgia is a well discussed topic in literature, yet not thoroughly evidence-based. Several unicomponent therapies seem to be benificial. Whereas multicomponent and multidisciplinary therapy gains importance and revealing promising results, the investigators aim to combine two well-known therapies in a program for patients with fibromyalgia.
From clinical experience, a high drop-out rate has been stated. All data will be explored to analyse explanatory factors.
