Fibromyalgia syndrome is the second most common chronic diffuse pain disorder and can have a lasting negative impact on the quality of life, pain, and physical function of people. Exercise therapy is an important component of the treatment of fibromyalgia, but there was not a consensus understanding of the effect of various exercise programs on the quality of life, pain, and physical function of people with fibromyalgia syndrome. This study aimed to compare three exercise programs (aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, and a combination of aerobic and resistance exercise) in their effectiveness in improving quality of life, relieving muscle pain, and enhancing physical function in patients with fibromyalgia.
