Brief summary
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FM) is defined as a non-inflammatory chronic pain syndrome with widespread pain in the musculoskeletal system, tender points (PINs) on physical examination and no specific laboratory findings. T Sampling was calculated using Power power (G Power 3.1.9.4) analysis. The effect size of the study was calculated based on the mean pain scores and standard deviations of the control and experimental groups taken from the study conducted by Field, et al. (2002). Accordingly, when 25 patients were included in each group, it was determined that the power was 85% at 5% Type I error level. The application to the experimental group will be done 3 days a week for 10 minutes for a total of 30 minutes. data will be collected with patient information form, fatigue severity scale and vas.
Detailed description
he research will be conducted experimentally with the aim of evaluating the effects of slow-stroke back massage in patients followed up in the physical therapy and rehabilitation unit with the diagnosis of fibromyalgia.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALMassage
The application starts from the neck with small circular strokes with the thumbs. Surface strokes are performed with the palm of the hand from the base of the skull towards the sacral region. Then rhythmic strokes are repeated from the sacrum along the entire spine towards the skull.The application to the experimental group will be done 3 days a week for 10 minutes for a total of 30 minutes.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| VAS | The scale was filled in the baseline | VAS consisting of a 10-centimeter horizontal line, anchored evenly by numbers from 0 to 10, was used to assess the patient's pain and willingness to repeat the procedure. The number 0 was identical to having no pain while the number 10 corresponded to maximal pain that can be experienced by the patient. |
| Fatigue | The scale was filled in the baseline | It is a tenitem, self-administered questionnaire. Because each item has a maximum possible score of 10, the maximum possible total score is 100. |
