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).

Sponsor: Göteborg University

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.
