Pain Neuroscience Education and Resistance Training in Women With Fibromyalgia: A Randomized Control Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT: Objective: The objective was to compare the effectiveness of a combined pain neuroscience education and resistance training program (PNE + RT) with that of a combined aerobic and flexibility exercise program (AE + FE). Design: A randomized pilot study was conducted in women with fibromyalgia. Methods: Thirty-one women with fibromyalgia were randomized into the experimental group (PNE + RT, n = 15) and the usual care group (AE + FE, n = 16). Both groups carried out the intervention 3 days a week for 12 weeks. Primary outcomes were pain intensity, disability, and symptoms related to central sensitization (CS). Among them, pain intensity was considered the main primary endpoint for statistical analysis and interpretation. Secondary outcomes were pressure pai
