Sponsor's own description

Fibromyalgia is a rheumatologic disease characterized by generalized chronic pain, hyperalgesia and allodynia. Physical exercises are recommended as the first choice of non-pharmacological therapy. Thus, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of modified Pilates method exercises compared to aerobic exercises in the treatment of patients with fibromyalgia. The hypothesis is that Pilates exercises will be as effective as aerobic exercise in the improvement of clinical outcomes, and that this improvement will be maintained over the medium to long term. It is also expected that aerobic exercises will be more cost-effective.
