Primary Care as a Promoter of the Quality of Life of Fibromyalgia Patients. Effectiveness and Cost-utility of a Complex Intervention Through a Randomized Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating complex treatment for Fibromyalgia. Completed, enrolled 302 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic disease characterized by chronic pain, fatigue and loss of function that leads to a significant deterioration in the quality of life. Despite controversies about the most appropriate treatment, studies indicate that a multidisciplinary treatment would be effective. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness and cost-utility of a complex intervention in the quality of life (main variable), the functional impact, the mood and the pain of people with FM treated in the Primary Care Teams (PCTs) of the Catalan Institute of Health (CIH).
