| contents | <p><em>Fibromyalgia is a complex chronic disorder involving persistent widespread pain accompanied</em></p> <p><em>by functional limitations, cognitive impairments, and alterations in neural processing.</em></p> <p><em>Previous research indicates that exercise-based interventions can play a key role in alleviating</em></p> <p><em>symptom burden and enhancing physical performance; however, there is limited</em></p> <p><em>evidence regarding their impact on neurophysiological mechanisms. Creative dance, in</em></p> <p><em>combination with strength training, may stimulate both motor and cognitive systems,</em></p> <p><em>promoting brain plasticity and functional improvements. This study will analyze the effects</em></p> <p><em>of a six-week strength and creative dance program on physical fitness under single- and</em></p> <p><em>dual-task conditions in women with fibromyalgia and will explore the associated changes</em></p> <p><em>in brain electrical activity and autonomic modulation. Methods: This randomized controlled</em></p> <p><em>trial will be divided into an exercise group (n = 22) and a control group (n = 22).</em></p> <p><em>The 6-week supervised intervention consists of two 60-min sessions per week, combining</em></p> <p><em>strength exercises and creative dance. Primary outcomes include physical fitness tests</em></p> <p><em>(strength, mobility, balance, and agility gait test in single-task and dual-task), fibromyalgia</em></p> <p><em>symptoms, and quality of life. Secondary outcomes include changes in electroencephalography,</em></p> <p><em>heart rate variability, physical activity level, and fear of falling. Statistical analyses</em></p> <p><em>will compare within- and between-group differences using non-parametric tests and effect</em></p> <p><em>sizes. It is hypothesized that the intervention will improve physical fitness and dual-task</em></p> <p><em>performance, alongside increases in brain activity power. This study may provide insights</em></p> <p><em>into the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the benefits of exercise benefits</em></p> <p><em>in fibromyalgia.</em></p> |
