Sponsor

European University Miguel de Cervantes

Enrollment

36 participants

Start Date

Apr 1, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Fibromyalgia (FM)

Summary

Fibromyalgia is a chronic syndrome characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and functional impairment, which significantly affects quality of life. Physical exercise is considered one of the most effective non-pharmacological interventions for the management of this condition; however, uncertainty remains regarding the most appropriate type, intensity, and frequency of exercise for different patient profiles. The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of a microdoses isokinetic exercise program on physical condition, perceived pain, inflammatory profile and quality of life in women diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

Interventions

OTHERExercise

Participants assigned to the experimental group will perform the sessions under supervision. Each session will begin with a warm-up consisting of joint mobility exercises and 5 minutes of low-intensity cycling. This will be followed by the main exercise component, which will consist of one set of five repetitions of knee extension exercise. During the initial sessions, the exercise will be performed at 60°/s, with a gradual and controlled progression up to a maximum of eight repetitions. To finish, participants will complete 5 minutes of stretching and controlled breathing.
