Summary

This study tested whether adding home-based posture exercises to regular medication could improve pain and mobility in 55 adults with fibromyalgia. Participants did exercises at home while continuing their usual drugs. Researchers measured pain threshold, spinal flexibility, anxiety, depression, sleep quality, and overall quality of life. The goal was to see if a simple, low-cost addition could make a real difference.
