简要总结
The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of progressive muscle relaxation training given in addition to a combined exercise program in women with fibromyalgia.
详细描述
Fibromyalgia syndrome is a complex, non-inflammatory pain syndrome characterized by whole-body pain, pain at specific tender points, fatigue, and sleep disturbance
The prevalence of fibromyalgia in the world population varies between 0.2% and 6.4%, and it more frequently affects middle-aged women (30-50 years old). the etiology of fibromyalgia is not fully known.
There are no generally accepted objective clinical findings, radiographic abnormalities, or laboratory tests to assess the presence of fibromyalgia and measure fibromyalgia severity. Therefore, questionnaires measuring patients' subjective responses remain important in the evaluation of fibromyalgia patients until now.
Current treatment recommendations for fibromyalgia strongly support a multifaceted regimen, including patient education, physical therapy, massage, cognitive behavioral therapy, specific pharmacotherapy, restorative sleep, and exercise. Exercise includes aerobic exercise, strengthening and stretching.
Progressive muscle relaxation therapy is an alternative complementary therapy based on the principle of progressive tensing and relaxing of major body muscles to relieve psychological tension. The therapy has no time or space restrictions and does not require any special equipment.

研究组 & 干预措施
combined exercises and progressive muscle relaxation group
Participants in this group will be given combined exercises consisting of aerobic exercise, strengthening exercise and stretching exercise, as well as progressive muscle relaxation training. The studies will be carried out under the supervision of a physiotherapist.
干预措施: combined exercises and progressive muscle relaxation group (Other)
combined exercises group
Participants in this group will be given combined exercises consisting of aerobic exercise, strengthening exercise and stretching exercise. They will rest for 10-15 minutes in a relaxation position only. The studies will be carried out under the supervision of a physiotherapist.

结局指标
主要结局
The Pain Catastrophizing Scale
时间窗: Eight weeks
The Pain Catastrophizing Scale is a self-report measure of pain-related catastrophizing thinking. It consists of 13 items on a five-point Likert scale (0 = never to 4 = always ). The total score ranges from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating higher levels of pain catastrophizing.
Visual Analog Scale
时间窗: Eight weeks
The Visual Analog Scale measures pain intensity. It consists of a 10 cm line with two end points representing 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as possible). The patient marks the current pain level by placing a mark on the line.
