Summary

Fibromyalgia syndrome is the most common cause of chronic generalized musculoskeletal pain and is characterized by pain associated with generalizad sensitivity, fatigue, sleep disturbances and psychological problems. Due to the chronic nature of the pathology and the great dependence on analgesic drugs that it often entails, in these patients it is considered necessary to provide an individualized approach and provide strategies that allow symptoms to be controlled conservatively and non-pharmacologically. The objective of this trial is to analyse the immediate effects on pain, mechanical pain sensitivity, impact of fibromyalgia, pain catastrophizing, psychological distress and physical function when a telerehabilitation program based on aerobic exercise is applied in women with fibromyalgia. For this purpose the investigators conduct a randomized controlled trial single-blind (examiner). The investigators included female patients diagnosed of fibromyalgia according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR). Thirty-four women with fibromyalgia are included and randomized into 2 groups: telerehabilitation program group based on aerobic exercise and control group. Exercise group receive 2 treatment sessions a week over 15 weeks. All the variables are measured at the beginning of intervention and after the intervention.
