Fibromyalgia Integrative Training for Teens (FIT Teens)
The purpose of this pilot randomized trial is to determine whether the fibromyalgia integrative training (FIT Teens) intervention is superior to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) alone in reducing pain among adolescents with juvenile fibromyalgia (JFM).
Hypothesis 1: Patients in the FIT Teens group will show significantly greater reduction in pain intensity than the CBT group at final study assessment (i.e., 3-month follow up).
Hypothesis 2: Patients in both the FIT Teens and CBT groups will show significant reductions in functional disability and depressive symptoms at final study assessment (i.e., 3-month follow up).

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Average Pain Intensity
Time Frame: Baseline, post-treatment and 3-month follow-up
|
Average pain intensity in the past week marked on a paper-pencil Visual Analog Scale (Min = 0 {no pain} to Max = 10 {pain as bad as it can be}).
Lower scores mean better outcomes.
|
Baseline, post-treatment and 3-month follow-up
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Functional Disability
Time Frame: Baseline, post-treatment and 3-month follow-up
|
Validated 15-item patient-report measure of difficulties in physical, social and recreational activities in the past 2 weeks (score Min = 0, Max = 60; Lower score means less disability/better outcome)
|
Baseline, post-treatment and 3-month follow-up
|
Depressive Symptoms
Time Frame: Baseline, Post-treatment, 3-month follow-up
|
Children's Depression Inventory: a 27-item validated patient-report measure of depressive symptoms in the past 2 weeks (scores 0 = no depressive symptoms to 54 = most severe symptoms; lower score means less depression/better outcomes)
|
Baseline, Post-treatment, 3-month follow-up
