IVR-based exercise program for fibromyalgia patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of a 6-week immersive virtual reality (IVR)-based therapeutic exercise program designed for patients with fibromyalgia. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group that performs exercises with altered visual feedback through IVR or a control group that performs the same exercises without IVR. The study aims to assess various outcomes, including pain intensity, fatigue, sleep quality, and overall quality of life, to determine the impact of this innovative approach on managing fibromyalgia symptoms.
