Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of progressive clinical Pilates exercises applied as group under the supervision of a physiotherapist and home exercise programs on pain level, physical condition, functional status, psychosocial status and quality of life in individuals with fibromyalgia between the ages of 20-50.

Detailed description

After the voluntary individuals with Fibromyalgia (FM) who meet the inclusion criteria are evaluated, they will be randomly divided into two groups: exercise group and home exercise group. The same clinical Pilates program will be applied to both groups at the same dosage. Evaluations and treatment will be applied to both groups by the same physiotherapist. Individuals will perform the exercises 10 repetitions, 3 days a week, for 6 weeks. The exercise program will be progressed as basic stabilization exercises in the first 3 weeks, advanced stabilization exercises in the last 3 weeks, as recommended in the literature, and a 30-second rest will be given between sets. For the home exercise group, all exercises will be shown and it will be ensured that they are performed correctly. Patients will be given an illustrated and descriptive exercise program brochure containing information about exercise position, number of repetitions, contraction duration, rest time between sets, frequency, and an exercise diary for exercise tracking.
