结局指标
主要结局
Functional disability by The Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ)
时间窗: Changes in FIQ at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks.
The Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) will be used to assess functional disability at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. The FIQ is a self-report questionnaire containing 21 items related to physical functioning, work status, depression, anxiety, sleep, pain, stiffness, fatigue, and well-being.
Pain intensity by The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
时间窗: Changes in pain intensity at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks.
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) will be used to assess pain intensity at baseline, 3 weeks, 6 weeks (post-intervention), and 12 weeks (follow-up). Participants will rate their pain on an 11-point scale, ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).
Right/left discrimination ability by Recognize smartphone application
时间窗: Changes in Right/left discrimination ability at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks.
Recognize app by NOI will be used to assess right/left discrimination ability at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. This test will include a series of right/left discrimination tasks similar to those used in the training program.
次要结局
- Cognitive function by The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)(Changes in MoCA at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks.)
