dc.description.abstractObjective: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) can be treated with a variety of pharmaceutical and non-pharmacological approaches. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of patient education and a home exercise program on FMS patients' pain, fatigue, functioning, and quality of life. Materials and Methods: The study included patients who satisfied the American College of Rheumatology's FMS criteria. They were split up into two groups at random. A schedule of at-home exercise was given to both groups. Furthermore, Group 2 patients participated in patient education sessions. At baseline and eight weeks later, both groups underwent examinations. Evaluation criteria included the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) for quality of life, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) for psychological status, the Visual Analogue Scale for pain severity (VASp) and exhaustion (VASf), and the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) for functional status. Results: The primary clinical and demographic characteristics of the two groups were comparable at baseline. Although the values of VASp (p=0.014), VASf (p=0.011), BDI (p=0.043), NHP subscales (p<0.05), FIQ (p=0.012) showed statistically significant improvements in Group 2, only Group 1's FIQ score significantly improved (p=0.027). There were substantial differences in VASp (p=0.026), VASf (p<0.001), BDI (p<0.001), and all NHP subscales except sleep problems, FIQ scores (p=0.036) between the two groups in favor of Group 2 at the end of eight weeks. Conclusion: Patients with FMS should receive patient education in addition to home-based exercise, which is an effective treatment for reducing symptoms, enhancing psychological well-being, and improving quality of life.
