Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Exercise Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Group-based physical activity interventions are cost-effective for managing Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS).
  • Existing research lacks a comprehensive review of various physical activity approaches for FMS.
  • A review is needed to map current research and report attrition data for group-based interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review of group-based physical activity interventions for adults with Fibromyalgia Syndrome.
  • To descriptively analyze and report attrition data from included studies.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was performed across Medline, CINAHL, SCOPUS, SPORTDiscus, and Web-of-Science.
  • Studies published between January 1, 2000, and February 23, 2023, focusing on group-based physical activity in adults with FMS were included.
  • Data extraction and analysis were conducted independently by two reviewers.

Main Results:

  • Seventeen studies involving 893 participants were included.
  • Interventions were predominantly multi-component, incorporating resistance, flexibility, and aerobic exercises.
  • Other modalities included hydrotherapy, balance training, mindful movement, Pilates, and exergames, with a mean attrition rate of 21%.

Conclusions:

  • Current research on group-based physical activity for FMS primarily features multi-component programs delivered by multidisciplinary teams in community settings.
  • These findings align with best-practice guidelines for FMS management.
  • Future research should investigate factors influencing attrition rates in these interventions.
