- Age
- 20 to 80 years
- Sex
- Women and men can join.
- Disease stage
- Confirmed fibromyalgia with chronic fatigue symptoms and sleep disturbances, in a stable health condition.
Main reasons for not taking part

- Original description
Fibromyalgia (FMS) is a chronic, multifactorial syndrome characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and cognitive disturbances. This interventional study evaluates the impact of structured physical training using diagnostic-training devices (Zebris treadmill and Alfa balance platform) and transcutaneous neuromodulation (NESA X-Signal) on pain, sleep quality, and overall health status in patients with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue symptom.Read full original descriptionShow less
Evaluation of the Effect of Individualized Physical Training and Neuromodulation on Pain, Sleep and Fatigue in Patients With Fibromyalgia: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Fibromyalgia (FMS) is a chronic, multifactorial syndrome characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and cognitive disturbances. This interventional study evaluates the impact of structured physical training using diagnostic-training devices (Zebris treadmill and Alfa balance platform) and transcutaneous neuromodulation (NESA X-Signal) on pain, sleep quality, and overall health status in patients with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue symptom.
Participants are allocated into three groups:
1. Physical training + conventional physiotherapy, 2. Transcutaneous neuromodulation + conventional physiotherapy, 3. Control (conventional physiotherapy only). The results will support the development of evidence-based rehabilitation protocols for fibromyalgia patients.
Inclusion: Age between 20 and 80 years; Confirmed diagnosis of fibromyalgia; Presence of chronic fatigue symptoms; Stable health condition; Presence of sleep disturbances; Ability to provide written informed consent and cooperate during the study.
Exclusion: Cancer; Neurological disorders (e.g., neuralgia, multiple sclerosis, diabetic polyneuropathy, stroke); Diagnosed dementia or cognitive impairment; Internal bleeding or acute febrile illness; Infectious skin diseases (e.g., mycosis, purulent dermatitis); Lack of informed consent or cooperation; Refusal to undergo procedures beyond standard NFZ physiotherapy; Implanted electronic devices (e.g., pacemaker); Acute thrombophlebitis; Hysteria or electric phobia; Neurotic addiction to stimulation; Inability to communicate in Polish sufficiently to complete questionnaires or follow instructions.
