What this trial studies
This study investigates how physical exercise impacts cognitive functions in patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia. It aims to determine the relationship between exercise intensity and duration on cognitive performance, given the high prevalence of cognitive dysfunction in this population. The study will involve forty patients aged 18-65 who meet the 2016 ACR criteria for fibromyalgia, comparing the effects of exercise against a control group. The findings could provide insights into non-pharmacological treatment options for improving cognitive symptoms associated with fibromyalgia.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-65 diagnosed with fibromyalgia who do not have regular exercise habits.
Not a fit: Patients with regular exercise habits or those with certain medical conditions that prevent physical activity may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved cognitive functioning and quality of life for patients with fibromyalgia.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown positive effects of exercise on cognitive functions in various populations, suggesting potential for success in this approach for fibromyalgia patients.
