This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain, poor sleep, and fatigue — especially in women — and many patients don't get full relief from medications alone. This study is testing whether foot reflexology, a gentle therapy where pressure is applied to specific points on the feet, can help reduce pain and improve sleep when added to standard physical therapy exercises. Researchers want to see if this combination works better than exercise and therapy alone.
Many women with fibromyalgia continue to struggle with pain and sleep problems even with conventional treatment. This trial exists to find out whether adding this gentle, non-invasive foot therapy might give patients extra relief and improve their daily quality of life.

You will come to the clinic twice a week for six weeks. All participants receive standard physical therapy including aerobic exercise, resistance training, stretching, and a treatment called TENS (which uses mild electrical stimulation). The experimental group receives an additional 30-minute foot reflexology session each visit. Before and after the six-week program, you'll complete questionnaires about your pain, sleep quality, mood, and daily functioning, and a specialist will test your pain sensitivity.
