Group Exercise, Education, and Combination Self-management in Women With Fibromyalgia (Arch Intern Med. 2007) "Conclusions Progressive walking, simple strength training movements, and stretching activities improve functional status, key symptoms, and self-efficacy in women with fibromyalgia actively being treated with medication. The benefits of exercise are enhanced when combined with targeted self-management education. Our findings suggest that appropriate exercise and patient education be included in the treatment of fibromyalgia."

General Information
Multidimensional Approach Recommended for Fibromyalgia Treatment "Management of fibromyalgia requires a multidimensional approach including patient education, cognitive behavioral therapy, exercise, and other treatment, according to a review published in the July 15 issue of American Family Physician."
Results of a multidisciplinary program for patients with fibromyalgia implemented in the primary care. (Disabil Rehabil. 2007)
Treatment of fibromyalgia and its symptoms. (Expert Opin Pharmacother. 2007)
Fibromyalgia--management of a misunderstood disorder. (J Am Acad Nurse Pract. 2007)
Non-pharmacological treatment of chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain (Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology 2007) "Exercise combined with education appears to produce synergies. Studies of movement therapies (such as qigong) and sensory treatments (such as acupuncture and massage) are few in number. There is today no conclusive evidence about the effects of these treatments in CWP, although positive effects have been reported in a few studies."
Fibromyalgia treatment update. (Curr Opin Rheumatol. 2007) "SUMMARY: Recent studies support the recommendation of a multimodal approach to treatment involving individualized, evidence-based pharmacotherapy and self-management. Treatment goals should include the improvement of symptoms, primarily pain and sleep, and the promotion of positive health behaviors with the aim of improving physical function and emotional well-being."
