Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire Scale

The second and third items ask about well-being and the number of days of problems due to illness. The next seven items assess the patients' ability to work, pain intensity, fatigue, stiffness, good sleep, anxiety and depression during the previous week using VAS. The maximum total score is 100. High scores indicate low functionality of the patient.

Model Details: Assuming a power of 80% and an α risk of. 05, a sample size of 75 was determined to be appropriate. Considering the possibility of missing data, the study initially included 80 participants in both the experimental and control groups. A computer-based random number generator was used for group assignment, and allocation concealment was ensured by using sealed envelopes containing random numbers opened by a separate researcher. The study was completed with 40 participants in the experimental group and 40 in the control group, due to some participants withdrawing.
