Summary
This study looked at whether a gentle therapy called strain counterstrain can help women with fibromyalgia feel less pain and fatigue. 105 women were split into three groups: one got usual care, another got usual care plus this therapy, and a third got no treatment. The therapy was given five days a week for three weeks. Researchers measured changes in pain, fatigue, and quality of life before and after treatment.
