An interventional study of Exercise in Fibromyalgia Syndrome, sponsored by Necmettin Erbakan University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-01-24.
Sponsored by Necmettin Erbakan University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The study aims to evaluate the effects of a telerehabilitation-based clinical pilates program in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome. A randomized controlled trial was designed. An online clinical Pilates-based exercise program targeting stability and strength that was conducted for 8 weeks with 2 sessions per week was developed for the telerehabilitation group. The same exercise programs for the control group were provided in brochures.
1,336 studies on the registry are indexed under Fibromyalgia; 266 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 45 is below the median of 60 across 1,035 interventional studies indexed under Fibromyalgia.

Ultrasonographic assessment
A 9 MHz linear probe was utilized to determine the transversus abdominis, external oblique, and internal oblique muscles. For the ultrasonographic evaluation of the lumbar multifidus muscles, subjects were positioned in supine and prone positions. A 1.5-6 MHz convex probe was initially placed in a transverse orientation to cover the L4-L5-S1 anatomical region.
Time frame: First day (at beginning) and last day (8. weeks)
McGill core endurance tests
The lumbopelvic stability was conducted using McGill core endurance tests, which included tests for trunk flexion, extension, and right and left lateral flexion endurance.
Time frame: First day (at beginning) and last day (8. weeks)
Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire
The Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) is a measure consisting of 10 items that assess physical function, work status, productivity level, depression, anxiety, sleep, pain, stiffness, fatigue, and overall well-being. Higher scores indicate higher disease activity.
Time frame: First day (at beginning) and last day (8. weeks)
Fatigue Severity Scale
Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) consists of a total of nine items. Each item is scored on a scale from 1 to 7. An increase in the total score indicates a higher level of fatigue severity.
Time frame: First day (at beginning) and last day (8. weeks)
Central Sensitization Inventory Short-Form
Central Sensitization Inventory Short Form (CSI-SF) is designed to assess the presence of central sensitization and associated symptoms. The total score ranges from 0 to 36, with higher scores indicating greater severity of central sensitization.
Time frame: First day (at beginning) and last day (8. weeks)
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale
The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale comprises 14 items. Odd-numbered items assess anxiety, while even-numbered items evaluate depression. The lowest possible score for each subscale is 0, and the highest is 21.
Time frame: First day (at beginning) and last day (8. weeks)
Numeric Rating Scale
The Pain Numeric Rating Scale is a numerical version of the visual analog scale, where patients are asked to indicate the number that best reflects their pain severity on a scale from 0 to 10.
Time frame: First day (at beginning) and last day (8. weeks)
