AI-guided exercise and education program for fibromyalgia
Effectiveness of Tele-Rehabilitation for Fibromyalgia Using AI-Guided Exercise and Computer Vision Combined With Pain Neuroscience Education (FIBRO IA): A Randomized Controlled Trial
This study is testing whether a new online exercise and education program using AI can help people with fibromyalgia feel less pain and improve their daily life compared to standard care.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates a tele-rehabilitation program designed for patients with fibromyalgia, combining AI-guided exercises and pain neuroscience education. Participants will be randomized into two groups: one receiving personalized AI-guided rehabilitation and the other receiving standard care. Over 12 weeks, the intervention group will complete remote exercise sessions and educational modules aimed at improving physical function and reducing pain. The study will assess outcomes such as pain reduction and quality of life using validated measurement tools.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-65 with a confirmed diagnosis of fibromyalgia who have access to a smartphone or computer.
Not a fit: Patients with uncontrolled severe medical conditions or those unable to participate in a tele-rehabilitation program may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly improve pain management and physical function for patients with fibromyalgia.
How similar studies have performed: While the integration of AI in rehabilitation is a novel approach, similar studies have shown promise in improving outcomes for chronic pain management.
