Detaljerad beskrivning

Secondary objectives are to 1) investigate the treatment's ability to reduce degree of a) quality of life b) function c) insomnia and fatigue d) pain-related fear and negative thoughts e) depression and anxiety, cost-effectiveness of this treatment; and 2) to study if any variables could moderate/mediate the treatment outcome, such as a) degree of covert avoidance, b) degree of reactivity to inner sensations

Trial Design: Randomized controlled trial with waitlist control, who also will receive treatment after the first group has finished.

Duration: Ten weeks

Primary Endpoint: Change in Fibromyalgia symptoms and impact from baseline to Week 10. Long term follow-up is also investigated (potential changes from post-treatment to 6- and 12 months after treatment completion)

Efficacy Parameters: the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ)

Description of Trial Subjects: Patients > 18 years old, Fibromyalgia diagnosis, residing in Sweden.

Number of Subjects: 140

Sample size estimation: Sample size is based on a estimated effect size (measured by Cohen's d) of 0.5, based on a power of 0.8 and with room for a 10 % dropout rate.

Recruitment: Self-referral. Advertising will be made through national newspaper, social media and on patient organisations' websites.

Safety parameters: Participants will have the opportunity to report any adverse events during treatment at posttreatment and follow-up measurements.

Data collection: Data will be collected electronically via the treatment platform.

Plan for missing data: Last-observation carried forward (LOCF).

Experimentell: Internet-based exposure therapy
The experimental group will go through active internet-based treatment which is delivered on a safe internet platform. Treatment is divided into eight modules, each containing homework assignments. Participants in experimental group will be assigned a therapist that they can contact through a message system in the platform and expect answer within 48 hours.
The treatment is a 10 week long cognitive behavior therapy. It is based mainly on the principles of exposure; i.e. the participant is instructed to approach situations they have avoided in order to reduce or avoid pain or other aversive experiences until they feel less discomfort and extended behavior repertoire in presence of pain and aversive inner experiences Other interventions include psychoeducation, mindfulness and acceptance strategies and are employed in order to facilitate exposure.
Inget ingripande: Waitlist
Waitlist control, i.e. no active active intervention during waiting list period. Will be offered treatment when the first group has finished (i.e. week 10).
