Overview

Brief Summary

In this prospective, randomized study, our aim was to evaluate the comprehensive multicomponent treatment of fibromyalgia women with telerehabilitation, including "patient education, special psychotherapy/psychosocial intervention, and exercise including relaxation exercises". Does it differ in terms of reduction and functionality?

Detailed Description

Patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomized into two groups by computer program after being numbered according to the order of application. 33 patients in the multicomponent treatment group selected to group 1 (G1) will be treated with telerehabilitation for a total of 6 sessions of two hours once a week for 3 weeks. After 1 month, one more session will be applied for a two-hour follow-up and sustainability. As a control group, 33 patients selected to Group 2 (G2) will be given exercise and training with telerehabilitation. Patients to whom a multicomponent treatment program will be applied will be included in the program in groups of 10. The presentations will be prepared as power-point presentations and will be presented to the patients online with telerehabilitation. Interventions to be applied in the multicomponent treatment protocol: 1. Patient education 2. Exercise training 3. Private Psychotherapy 4. Relaxation
