Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of Pilates and aerobic exercises for treating fibromyalgia, enrolling 98 patients aged 20-75 who met specific diagnostic criteria.
- After 8 weeks of treatment, results indicated no significant difference in fibromyalgia impact between the two exercise groups, with Pilates costing slightly more.
- Despite not being more cost-effective, Pilates was favored for its potential impact on quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) depending on the number of resources one is willing to allocate for treatment.
