Summary

Fibromyalgia syndrome is characterized by chronic generalized musculoskeletal pain associated with fatigue, sleep disturbances and some biochemical markers. The European League Againts Rheumatism (EULAR) described an algorithm how to treat step by step these patients. The objective of this trial is to evaluate if therapeutic exercise is effective on fatigue, pain threshold, quality of life, quality of sleep, pain coping and biochemical and genetic markers. For this purpose, the investigators conduct a randomized controlled trial double-blind (patient and examiner). The investigators included patients diagnosed of fibromyalgia according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR). Patients included one group receiving exercise therapy consisting of 3 treatment sessions a week over 10 weeks. The variables are measured at the beginning and end of treatment.
