This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a home-based postural exercise program as an adjunct to pharmacological treatment in individuals with FMS. Fifty-one patients diagnosed with FMS according to the 2016 American College of Rheumatology criteria were randomly assigned to an exercise group (EG,\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200926) or a control group (CG,\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200925). Both groups received duloxetine therapy, while the EG additionally performed a home-based postural exercise program three times per week for four weeks. Outcomes included pain intensity, pressure pain threshold (PPT), sleep quality, anxiety and depression, quality of life, and trunk range of motion (ROM). Significant improvements over time were observed in pain intensity, psychological symptoms, sleep quality, quality of life, and PPT in both groups (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05).

Adding a home-based postural exercise program to pharmacological treatment may provide short-term additional benefits in sleep quality, physical quality of life, and spinal mobility in individuals with FMS; however, these findings should be interpreted cautiously due to the short intervention duration and absence of follow-up assessment.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00296-026-06137-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,22]],"date-time":"2026-05-22T15:18:02Z","timestamp":1779463082000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Home-based postural exercise as an adjunct to duloxetine improves sleep quality, physical quality of life, and trunk mobility in fibromyalgia: a randomized controlled trial"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"46","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9014-2106","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ceren","family":"Demir","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9232-2431","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00d6mer Faruk","family":"\u00d6z\u00e7elep","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-7480-5345","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elife Ceyda","family":"Okumu\u015f","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8868-9599","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mehmet","family":"Canl\u0131","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6895-2495","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Halil","family":"Alkan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,22]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"6137_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1219","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm9041219","volume":"9","author":"CM Galvez-S\u00e1nchez","year":"2020","unstructured":"Galvez-S\u00e1nchez CM (2020) Reyes del Paso, Diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia: critical review and future perspectives.
