INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Fibromyalgia (FMS) is a chronic, multifactorial syndrome characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and cognitive disturbances. This interventional study evaluates the impact of structured physical training using diagnostic-training devices (Zebris treadmill and Alfa balance platform) and transcutaneous neuromodulation (NESA X-Signal) on pain, sleep quality, and overall health status in patients with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue symptom. Participants are allocated into three groups: 1. Physical training + conventional physiotherapy, 2. Transcutaneous neuromodulation + conventional physiotherapy, 3. Control (conventional physiotherapy only). The results will support the development of evidence-based rehabilitation protocols for fibromyalgia patients.

Interventions
Structured physical training using Zebris diagnostic treadmill and Alfa balance platform, performed under physiotherapist supervision. Sessions are held 5 times per week for 3 weeks and include aerobic, balance, and coordination exercises tailored to individual patient needs.
Non-invasive transcutaneous neuromodulation using the NESA X-Signal device. The device delivers microcurrent stimulation through gloves and socks electrodes (25 total) to modulate autonomic nervous system activity and reduce pain. Sessions last 30 minutes, performed 3 times per week for 6 weeks.
Standard physiotherapy program consisting of general exercise therapy, relaxation and breathing training, manual therapy, and light physical modalities (e.g., laser, heat therapy). No neuromodulation or device-based interventions are applied.
