The Multidisciplinary Treatment of Fibromyalgia.

The intervention group took part in 2.5-hour sessions of MRT once a week for 10 weeks. This intervention combined physical exercise with stretching. Health education was geared towards pain management, the pathology itself, healthy habits, insomnia, postural correction and ergonomics. The psychological approaches used in the MRT were problem-solving therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and sophrology. Given the diversity of the sessions, they were directed by a rheumatologist, a nurse, a psychologist, and a physiotherapist. If the patient needed their pharmacological treatment to be altered, they were offered an appointment with the rheumatologist.

The control group attended the activities organised by the association of people with FMS. These consisted of a weekly 1-hour session of group psychology and a weekly 2-hour session of handicrafts for 10 weeks.
