Overview
Brief Summary
The main aim of this study is to find out whether applying both pain neuroscience education (PNE) and motor imagery-based exercise protocol (MIEP) will primarily reduce the pain of fibromyalgia. These therapies could show an evidence of improvement in fibromyalgia patients. However, there are no studies evaluating their effectiveness in combination.
Secondary outcomes:
To assess motor imagery ability of PNE in fibromyalgia patients
To assess motor imagery ability of MIEP in fibromyalgia patients
To evaluate the motor imagery ability of PNE+MIEP combined in fibromyalgia patients
To evaluate pain beliefs of PNE in fibromyalgia patients
To assess the pain beliefs of MIEP in fibromyalgia patients
Combined PNE+MIEP to assess pain beliefs in fibromyalgia patients.
To assess fear of movement in fibromyalgia patients of PNE
To assess fear of movement in fibromyalgia patients of MIEP
Combined PNE+MIEP to assess fear of movement in patients with fibromyalgia
PNE to assess anxiety, depression, cognitive and mood in patients with fibromyalgia.
To assess anxiety, depression, cognitive and mood in patients with fibromyalgia MIEP
To evaluate anxiety, depression, cognitive and mood in patients with fibromyalgia together with PNE+MIEP
PNE to assess self-esteem and body awareness in fibromyalgia patients.
To assess self-esteem and body awareness in fibromyalgia patients of MIEP
Combined PNE+MIEP to assess self-esteem and body awareness in fibromyalgia patients.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Using a ruler, the score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity.
Secondary Outcomes
- The Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS)(12 weeks)
- The Pain Beliefs Questionnaire (PBQ)(12 weeks)
- Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale(12 weeks)
- Adapting the Scale of Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies(12 weeks)
- The Motion Imagery Questionnaire-3 (HLFS-3)(12 weeks)
- The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK)(12 weeks)
- Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)(12 weeks)
- The Body Awareness Questionnaire(12 weeks)
