- Brief Summary
Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is a chronic rheumatic disease characterized by a wide range of symptoms such as widespread muscle pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, anxiety-depression, impaired balance, falling risk, poor physical condition, cognitive dysfunction, and irritable bowel syndrome.
The aim of the study; It is a comparison of the effectiveness of aerobic exercises and postural stabilization exercises that are structured to reduce the pain severity, fatigue, sleep problems and anxiety-depression levels of patients who are being followed up with a diagnosis of FMS, and to increase the duration of physical activity and quality of life.

Group Intervention Description Postural Stabilization Exercises postural stabilization exercises Exercises; It will consist of postural exercises to be done in prone, supine, side lying, crawling, sitting and standing positions. All exercises will be done in 2 sets per day, the number of repetitions will be determined individually and progressed. 1. Breathing exercises 2. Four-way stretching and strengthening of the neck muscles 3. Shoulder girdle stretching and strengthening exercises 4. Hip flexors, hamstring, itb, lumbar extensor stretching and strengthening 5. Lying down exercises in the crawling position 6. Shuttle movement 7. Plank movement 8. Toe taps 9. Bridging 10. Straight leg lift 11. Straight leg raises in side-lying 12. Prone knee flexion Structured Aerobic Exercises aerobic exercise Following the training on aerobic exercise content and effectiveness; 1. First Week; participants 5 minutes warm-up, 20 minutes of aerobic exercise with 60-70% of maximum heart rate, and 5 minutes of cool down. 2. In the following weeks, the aerobic exercise duration of all participants will be increased by 5 minutes compared to the previous week. 3. The duration of the sessions in the 7th and 8th weeks will progressively progress to 40 minutes and the intensity to 75-80% of the maximum heart rate.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) change from baseline at 8 weeks This scale; It measures 10 different characteristics: physical function, feeling unwell, not going to work, difficulty at work, pain, fatigue, morning fatigue, stiffness, anxiety and depression. Except for the sense of well-being, lower scores indicate improvement or less affected by the disease. FIQ is filled by the patient. The maximum possible score for each subtitle is 10. Thus, the total maximum score is 100. While the average FM patient gets 50 points, more severely affected FM patients usually score above 70.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) change from baseline at 8 weeks VAS; It is a scale that provides a one-dimensional measurement of pain intensity in different adult populations. It usually consists of a 10 cm long horizontal (HVAS) or vertical (VVAS) line. In measuring the severity of pain; A score of 0 is defined as no pain, a score of 10 as worst pain possible or worst imaginable pain. Although the period of time when pain is questioned varies, the most common time for the patient's pain is the current pain or the pain experienced in the last 24 hours.
