A 12-week multicomponent therapy in fibromyalgia improves health but not in concomitant moderate depression, an exploratory pilot study.

Literature suggests that graded and multicomponent therapy improves outcomes in fibromyalgia, but there is no conclusive evidence in which combination to be used. This study focused on the effect of a multicomponent therapy in fibromyalgia when a combination of exercise therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy was applied. Additionally, predictors for dropping out were explored as research reports high dropout rates.
