摘要
The aim of the study was to instruct a group of fibromyalgia patients how to solve problems related to activities of daily life. Sixteen female fibromyalgia patients completed a ten week multidisciplinary program, consisting of a cognitive and an exercise part. After ten weeks a reduction in general pain intensity (p < 0.05) was found. At six months follow-up sensory (somatic) pain intensity was reduced compared to baseline recordings (p = 0.05). All patients had made adjustments to their everyday life after ten weeks. Eight patients reported that they regularly practised relaxation techniques, and seven patients had undertaken dietary changes. Thus, the study shows that adjustment of activities in daily living may reduce pain in patients with fibromyalgia. Controlled studies are needed in the future.
