In fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), current guidelines recommend combining pharmacological treatments such as duloxetine with exercise interventions. 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= 26) or a control group (CG, n= 25). 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 …
