Art and Mindfulness in Fibromyalgia Rehabilitation at the University Museum
L'Arte Come Strumento di Cura Nella Presa in Carico Riabilitativa Nel Paziente Con Fibromialgia: Museo Universitario Come Setting Del Percorso di Medicina Integrata - Studio Randomizzato Controllato
This randomized controlled trial investigates the efficacy of a mindfulness-based rehabilitation program delivered in a non-traditional environment rich in art and beauty (the University Museum, UD'A) compared to a traditional university gym setting (CARES) for patients with fibromyalgia.
The main question the study aims to answer is whether conducting mindfulness sessions in a museum setting can better reduce muscle pain (primary objective) and improve body awareness and quality of life (secondary objectives) compared to a standard gym setting. Additionally, the study evaluates autonomic nervous system responses using non-invasive thermal infrared imaging.
Furthermore, this protocol incorporates an exploratory home-based maintenance component-utilizing an illustrated educational brochure and a preregistered video of previously learned exercises-during a four-week follow-up period (T1-T2) to assess adherence, feasibility, and the maintenance of therapeutic benefits

実験的：Museum-Based Mindfulness Group
Participants assigned to this arm receive an 8-week mindfulness and body awareness exercise program (2 sessions per week, 60 minutes each) conducted in a non-traditional setting rich in art and beauty (University Museum, UdA). This is followed by a 4-week home-based maintenance period using an illustrated educational brochure and guided exercise videos. |
An 8-week structured group program (2 sessions/week, 60 minutes each) combining mindfulness techniques, body awareness practices, and gentle postural exercises, conducted inside the University Museum (UdA). Includes an additional 4-week home maintenance phase with educational brochures and instructional videos. |

アクティブコンパレータ：Gym-Based Mindfulness Group
Participants assigned to this arm receive the exact same 8-week mindfulness and body awareness exercise program (2 sessions per week, 60 minutes each) delivered in a standard university gym setting (CARES center). This is followed by the same 4-week home-based maintenance period using an illustrated educational brochure and guided exercise videos. |

Change from Baseline in Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) Total Score
時間枠：Baseline (T0), Post-intervention at 8 weeks (T1), and Follow-up at 12 weeks (T2)
|
Total score of the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) assessing overall fibromyalgia disease severity and functional impact across three domains: function, overall impact, and symptoms. Total score ranges from 0 to 100, where higher scores reflect greater symptom severity and impact on daily life. |

Adherence to Home-Based Exercise Maintenance Program
時間枠：Daily during the 4-week follow-up period (from Week 8 to Week 12)
|
Adherence to the home-based maintenance program (guided by educational brochure and preregistered videos) measured as the percentage of completed prescribed exercise sessions recorded via a self-reported daily exercise log during the 4-week follow-up period. Adherence is calculated as (Number of completed sessions / Total prescribed sessions) * 100. |
