The Effect of a Remote Network Technology Supervised Exercise Program Combined With Drug Treatment for Fibromyalgia: Randomized, Single-Blind, Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic musculoskeletal pain disorder that is seldom reported in China. Recent studies have focused on nondrug treatments, particularly physical therapy, as an alternative to treatments using medication. With the rise of smartphones and mobile communication, mobile health technology has become a significant area of study.

Objective
