Interdisciplinary Program to Improve Quality of Life in People With Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and psychological symptoms that significantly affect quality of life. This quasi-experimental study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the FIBROCatCentral interdisciplinary program in improving health-related quality of life among adults with fibromyalgia receiving care in Primary Care centers in Central Catalonia, Spain. Participants in the intervention group will attend a structured multidisciplinary program consisting of 24 sessions delivered by healthcare professionals from different disciplines, including nursing, medicine, physiotherapy, nutrition, mental health, social work, and pharmacy. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and at 3, 6, and 12 months. The primary outcome is health-related quality of life measured using the EuroQol-5D questionnaire. Secondary outcomes include fibromyalgia impact, depressive symptoms, treatment adherence, participant satisfaction, and changes in pharmacological treatment.
