Fibromyalgia (FM) affects millions of people around the world, causing widespread physical pain, exhaustion, and psychological disorders. Through this study, we aim to observe the effectiveness of two different rehabilitation programs in reducing the impact of FM on daily functioning and psychological factors. Specifically, we compare a complex conservative program that combines physical therapy and hydrokinetotherapy in a hospital setting with a therapy focused on intrinsic relaxation. Methods: This comparative study involved 63 patients aged between 19 and 69 years diagnosed with FM, divided into two groups: the study group (SG, 32 participants) and the control group (CG, 31 participants). Over 90% of participants are female, 30 in the study group and 28 in the control group. SG followed a conservative physiotherapy combined with thermal water therapy, and CG followed a recovery program through intrinsic relaxation. Participants were evaluated on the first and last day of the rehabilitation program using the Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (Ham—A). The rehabilitation program consisted of 10 sessions conducted over a period of two weeks. Results: After the two-week recovery period, the results showed a significant improvement in both FIQR and Ham—A scores in the study group (p < 0.001). In the control group, there were no significant changes in FIQR variables (p > 0.05), while a significant improvement was observed on the anxiety scale (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The combination of hydrokineto-therapy and physical therapy is more effective in improving the overall condition of patients with FM compared to relaxation.

Background and Objectives: Fibromyalgia (FM), through the presence of widespread chronic pain, stiffens the musculoskeletal system and causes sleep disturbances and fatigue. Through this study, we aimed to compare the effectiveness of two different recovery interventions for improving sleep quality: a standard, multidisciplinary intervention in a recovery hospital versus a therapy focused on intrinsic relaxation at home. Materials and Methods: This study included 60 adult patients who participated voluntarily and were diagnosed with FM by a rheumatologist, randomly divided into two groups. During this study, 30 patients out of the 60 were randomly assigned to experimental group 1 and underwent treatment at the Recovery Clinical Hospital in Băile Felix. The other 30 patients were assigned to experimental group 2 and underwent treatment at home. They were assessed on the first and last day of the recovery program using the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: In experimental group 1, where by patients underwent hospital recovery (EG1), the results show that the severity of fatigue (FSS) was significantly reduced, with p = 0.00 and an effect size of 0.77, which suggests a general improvement in the state of fatigue, as well as in the quality of sleep evaluated with the PSQI (p = 0.00, effect size = 0.55). In experimental group 2 (EG2), no change was observed between assessments in terms of the FSS, but in terms of the quality of sleep, there was a small decrease in the PSQI score (p = 0.083), with a small effect size of 0.09. Conclusions: The results show that, from a clinical point of view, a complex treatment carried out daily improves sleep quality and reduces fatigue.
