Relaxation exercises and water therapy for fibromyalgia pain

This trial is testing whether two therapies used together—progressive muscle relaxation exercises and aquatic therapy (exercise in water)—can help reduce fibromyalgia pain and improve daily functioning. Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that causes widespread pain and fatigue, and current treatments focus on managing symptoms rather than curing the disease. Researchers want to see if combining these two gentler approaches works better than relaxation exercises alone.

Fibromyalgia significantly impacts patients' ability to function and enjoy life, and many people struggle to find effective treatment options. This trial exists to test whether combining two proven therapeutic approaches—the relaxing effect of muscle relaxation plus the pain-relieving benefits of exercising in water—might help patients manage their symptoms better than either approach alone.
