Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Medicine

Background:

  • Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic condition causing widespread pain, fatigue, sleep, and mood disturbances.
  • Individuals with FM often face poorly managed symptoms and high healthcare utilization.
  • Implementing effective, non-pharmacological therapies in smaller communities presents resource challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a community-based multidisciplinary group intervention for fibromyalgia patients in a small urban center.
  • To assess the intervention's impact on quality of care, daily functioning, mood, and pain beliefs.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot randomized controlled trial involving 60 fibromyalgia patients.
  • Participants were assigned to a 10-week multidisciplinary group intervention or usual care.
  • Intervention included twice-weekly exercise and weekly education sessions (pain, CBT, nutrition, peer support).

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements in perceived quality of care (Cohen's d = 0.61-0.66).
  • Significant improvements in disease-related daily functioning (d = 0.70), depressive symptoms (d = 0.87), and pain beliefs (d = 0.61-0.82).
  • No adverse events were reported during the trial.

Conclusions:

  • Community-based multidisciplinary group interventions show promise for fibromyalgia management.
  • The intervention improved patient satisfaction with care, daily functioning, and reduced depressive symptoms.
  • This approach fosters more adaptive pain beliefs and may be suitable for smaller communities.
