What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effectiveness of a six-week home-based stretching program compared to usual care for patients with fibromyalgia. Participants will engage in stretching exercises designed to alleviate symptoms associated with the condition. The study aims to determine if this novel approach can improve patient outcomes and adherence to treatment. The trial will include individuals diagnosed with fibromyalgia or chronic widespread pain who meet specific diagnostic criteria.
