Effects of and Exploring the Processes of Free Movement Dance as a Physical Therapy Intervention for Female Patients Diagnosed With Chronic Widespread Pain (Including Fibromyalgia).
Sweden52 participantsStarted 2022-02-07
Plain-language summary
The study has three parts:
Part 1: To evaluate, for adult female patients diagnosed with chronic widespread pain (including fibromyalgia), the effects of Free Movement Dance as an add-on intervention after interdisciplinary pain management/rehabilitation at a specialist pain clinic versus modified person-centered progressive resistance exercise. The cognitive-behavioural conceptualization of pain, effects on pain intensity, physical function, self-efficacy, pain catastrophizing, health related quality of life, anxiety and depression symptoms and quality of sleep will be evaluated.
Part 2: To explore, for adult female patients diagnosed with chronic widespread pain (including fibromyalgia), the processes of Free Movement Dance, as an add-on intervention after interdisciplinary pain management/rehabilitation at a specialist pain clinic, to generate a substantive theory useful for clinical praxis.
Part 3: To explore and describe why participants who agreed and signed consent choose to withdraw from participating in the interventions of the study's part 1.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring

Change in Cognitive-behavioural conceptualization of pain
Timeframe: Before and after the three months of interdisciplinary specialist interventions and after 12 months, which is standard procedure + after ending the add-on interventions and 24 months after the interdisciplinary treatments
